        Mitaka are Fine if you just want to run standard power. The other ones offer forged aluminium. You get what you pay fot. But ultimately nothing lasts forever.

          I've been doing so research on them and the Woosner piston seams to be the 1 to go for

            @Ricky I heard Wossner have been using China to make their products.

            Weisco and proz would be good ones. FYI I run Wossner but will be switching from now on.

                @Ricky Yo.

                Wiesco make excellent pistons for the MX market 2strokes. Mitaka is good too, maybe not highly regarded for racing pistons, but a very good replacement to run in a DT125,

                it's not a highly stressed engine by design so I wouldn't worry about a Forged piston unless you really want to.

                You have to remember that a forged piston takes longer to expand in a heat cycle, so in theory you can begin to wear the bore somewhat if you don't always get the engine to a higher temperature.

                A minimal consideration?

                Keep it real
