A piston made of cast aluminum base alloy is provided with gudgeon pin bosses which are connected to the piston skirt by means of a frusto-conical strut which has recesses in the skirt and are specially dimensioned to leave large unsupported skirt areas to minimize risk of seizure in an engine cylinder; in particular the distance between the outer surfaces of the bosses is from 0.6 to 0.8 of the outer diameter of the piston and the distance between the inner surfaces of the bosses is 25 to 35 percent of the outer diameter of the piston, and the cone angle of the struts is from 60 DEG to 110 DEG .
