What I would like to know is what if any are the advantages in the engines that are made with this technology. This seems to be the newest trend from Novarossi and it seems that no one knows just excatly what the deal is other than it's New.

I am very interesting in everything, specialy if it is realed to metalurgy.
I didn't have chance yet to work with any of those pistons, but all development in piston materials is to improve expantion rate, reduce friction, improve stability of piston geometry under temeprature, reduce wear and make naterial more durable.
To achive all this points ( except durability) in one shot, nees to increase Silicon content in Alloy. Novarossi using this way to do so.
I think it is pretty simple.
Oh, forgot to mention big part of it-marketing
