STAINLESS STEEL AND TITANIUM VALVES

APE is a leading supplier of high performance and racing valves for motorcycles. APE stainless steel*** valves are precision manufactured from aircraft quality Inconel based stainless steel***. This special material offers excellent resistance to heat and distortion. APE stainless steel *** valves are designed to be used in the most extreme racing applications including the use of exotic fuels, or will give many miles of trouble free street use. They present an outstanding value. In most cases you can upgrade to APE stainless steel*** valves for less than the cost of replacement stock valves. All oversize stainless steel valves feature hard chrome stems for extra long stem to guide life.


***These valves are a very high tensile strength SAE HNV3 steel, used because the factory seats on these models are too hard to get good valve face life with stainless steel.
