Large 26 Inch Core Maximizes Coolant Flow
The expansive 26 inch core increases coolant capacity and opens up a wider path for airflow, ensuring that engine heat is carried away more efficiently during both city traffic and highway cruising. By spreading heat across a broader surface area, this design minimizes hot spots and reduces the risk of overheating under sustained load. Drivers will notice stable temperature control even when idling or climbing steep grades, thanks to the enhanced coolant volume and unrestricted flow channels.
Premium Aluminum Builds for Light Weight and Corrosion Control
Constructed from quality aluminum, this radiator delivers an excellent strength to weight ratio that helps reduce front end mass without sacrificing durability. The bare aluminum finish offers direct heat transfer for fast rejection of engine heat, while the optional black epoxy coating adds a layer of corrosion protection against road salt and moisture.

Fast heat rejection and minimal maintenance make it ideal for enthusiasts who demand both performance and easy upkeep.
