{"product_id":"connecting-rod-ktm-450-525-hot-rods-8666","title":"CONNECTING ROD KTM 450-525, HOT RODS 8666","description":"High-quality replacement connecting rod kit designed for durability and performance in demanding applications. Manufactured from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel and case-hardened to 58-62 Rc, the kit provides exceptional strength and longevity. Its advanced design includes strategically placed side scalloping and vent slots to minimize high RPM bearing race distortion.\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe double-forged rods improve grain flow and maintain dimensional consistency, while shot-peening and double-honing enhance strength under heavy loads. The small ends are double-drilled for additional lubrication and cooling, critical for wrist pin bearings under extreme conditions. Thrust washers and crank pin bearings are silver-coated for added lubricity. Sold as a complete kit with rod, crank pin, crank pin bearing, top-end bearing, and thrust washers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eManufactured from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel and case-hardened to 58-62 Rc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSide scalloping and vent slots reduce high RPM bearing race distortion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eDouble-forged rods improve grain flow and dimensional consistency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eShot-peened and double-honed for superior strength under heavy loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eDouble-drilled small ends enhance lubrication and cooling for wrist pin bearings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSilver-coated thrust washers and crank pin bearings for increased lubricity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eComplete kit includes rod, crank pin, crank pin bearing, top-end bearing, and thrust washers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eBig End Bearing: 35x43x21.7 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eBig End Bore: 43.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eBig End Width: 21.90 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eCenter to Center: 129.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePin Diameter: 35.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePin Length: 64.60 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSmall End Bore: 20.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eWasher Thickness: 0.95 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCross-Reference OEM Part Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM: 59030015044\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Fitments:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 250 EXC (2003–2005)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 250 XC (2003–2005)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 250 XC-W (2003–2005)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 450 EXC (2003–2007)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 450 EXC-R (2003–2007)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 450 MXC (2003–2005)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 450 SX-F (2003–2004)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 450 XC (2008)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 450 XC-W (2007)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 525 EXC (2003–2007)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 525 MXC (2003–2007)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 525 SMR (2003–2007)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 525 SX (2003–2007)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 525 XC (2003–2008)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eKTM 540 SXS (2004)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart Number: 56-863.HR1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hot Rods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50870344384778,"sku":"56-863.HR1","price":216.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/0094\/6954\/files\/stock50955_1.jpg?v=1741679562","url":"https:\/\/store.phoenixmotos.com\/products\/connecting-rod-ktm-450-525-hot-rods-8666","provider":"Phoenix Motos","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
