Sprint Filter Triumph Air Filter P08F1-85

 

About the P08F1-85

Developed and used by the leading Factory Teams in MotoGP and WSBK, P08F1-85 is the latest technological advancement from Sprint Filter with the highest existing permeability of any air filter on the market (allowing an impressive air flow of >15,000 l/m2/sec.), guaranteeing a filtering power of 85 μm that makes it even more exclusive. All these features make P08F1-85 an air filter particularly suitable for racing, but with the special Sprint Filter technology, it can also be used on the most sophisticated latest generation of 600cc and 1000cc Supersports bikes that, in most cases, do not need fuel adjustment with special mapping of the ECU or additional control units. However, their use taps 100% of the potentials of this technological jewel.

As Sprint Filter continues to develop outstanding variations of their filters it may be a little confusing as to which filter would be best for your machine. We have devised a list below which will make it easier for you to choose the correct Sprint Filter for your requirements.

Which Sprint Filter?

**P08 PERFECT FOR ROAD & RACING**

**P16 ONLY FOR PROFESSIONAL RACING, TUNED ECU, NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ROAD USE**

**P08F1-85 PERFECT FOR PROFESSIONAL ROAD AND RACE USE, TUNED ECU**

**P037-WP PERFECT FOR ROAD AND RACE USE IN DIFFICULT WEATHER CONDITIONS**

 


 

By comparison, Sprint Filter P08F1-85 provides almost three times the airflow of P08 with virtually the same filtration performance, which makes P08F1-85 suitable even for moderate road use as well as race.

 

  Filtration Air Flow Road Race Waterproof
Polyester P08 80 microns 5.050 lit/m2/s Yes Yes No
Polyester P16 160 microns 10.000 lit/m2/s No Yes No
Polyester P08F1-85 85 microns 15.000 lit/m2/s Yes Yes Yes

P08F1-85 uses a special polyester material with a wire diameter of only 22 microns. This air filter was designed for road racing applications and uses patented technology to make it waterproof, the only filter in the world of its kind. The P08F1-85 filter was tested extensively for over two years by the world’s top racing teams in MotoGP. This filter works so well it has become the most widely used filter by factory racing teams in both MotoGP and WSBK. Its unique weave pattern can filter debris as small as 85 microns while having the highest permeability for any air filter on the market. The increased airflow of the P08F1-85 air filter will help maximise your bike power potential while offering excellent filtration protection.

Polyester – A Winning Technology: On the one hand, air filters have to guarantee good air flow. On the other, they have to filter large particles so they don’t end up in the cylinders. The two operations are opposed to each other, and the best air filter is the one that optimizes these two functions. Production motorbikes are normally fitted with paper filters, while the usual solution for sports filters was oil soaked cotton. With its adoption of the polyester membrane filter, Sprint Filter has taken a huge leap forward, making all previous systems obsolete.

 

Structure: Polyester fabric is extremely permeable and solid and cannot be affected by folding during construction, by the difference in pressure during operation or by maintenance. On the other hand, the cotton filter has a weft that depends on the overlapping and number of layers used. Moreover, it tends to lose its shape during these phases and, as a result, some zones will benefit from a high filtration value while others will filter poorly.

“Waterproof” Tissues: Sprint Filter air filters are the only filters in the world with “waterproof” characteristics (Sprint Filter patent, meaning SF is the only air filter manufacturer in the world that produces waterproof air filters for internal combustion engines), making the product even more exclusive and suitable even for use in more demanding conditions.

Air Flow: The polyester air filter guarantees a very high air flow that neither cotton filters (whose permeability depends on the number of layers used), nor OE paper filters can achieve. Remember the simple equation: More Air = More Power!

Filtration: The construction precision of the polyester filter offers a filtration degree equal to that declared and is constant over time. The cotton filter, instead, has extremely variable openings, from just a few microns to several tenths. This means that, initially, the cotton filter has a low filtering power (equal to 50% of a contaminant with a range of between 5 and 200 μ). Only after a dust cake forms on the surface does the filtering power increases up to 80% of the above-mentioned range, but there is a resultant drastic pressure drop. In short, a cotton filter has low filtering power for half of its lifetime, while for its remaining lifetime it has a very high pressure drop.

Efficiency: Many dyno tests have confirmed the importance of a flow with a minimum degree of impedance. A 4-cylinder 1000cc bike (fitted with a P08 filter) without any remapping of the control unit, supplied more torque and 2.5 HP more at half the power curve, in that area that can guarantee a “fuller” response to the throttle.

In its engineering course, Trinity Saint David Swansea University tested the most popular motorcycle air filters on the market, checking the performance of each filter with a Super Flow flow bench. The test was set up in a simple but effective way: different brands of filters were fitted on a square section pipe, through which a set quantity of air was pushed.

The curve distribution is evident: the polyester Sprint Filter filter definitely breaks away from the “group” of cotton filters (among which the Sprint Filter waterproof polyester filter ranks very well), and sponge filters are positioned at the bottom of the chart. The structure of the filtering elements was then checked under the microscope, and in this case as well the uniformity and compactness of the polyester were obvious.

 

Improved Fuel Economy

P08’s precision-manufactured, ultra-fine polyester filter element provides air flow that is more consistent than typical after-market cotton and foam filters. Air flow consistency helps the bike’s ECU maintain the optimum air/fuel mix, resulting in improved fuel economy.

 

Virtually maintenance free

Maintenance of the air filter is important for the protection, care and efficiency of the engine. A clean and undamaged filter will always ensure the correct quantity of clean air for the airbox.

Another air filter maintenance aspect not to disregard is how long it lasts. Apart from the time required for disassembly and reassembly, cotton filters demand downtime for washing, drying and oiling the filtering element, all operations not necessary with a polyester filter. The Sprint Filter air filter cleaning procedure is, in fact, extremely easy and quick: just use an air jet in the opposite direction of the suction to remove most of the debris collected. No washing or drying is necessary, so it can be refitted straight away.

For exceptionally dirty filters begin with compressed air, then using a common household detergent, allow the filter to soak for 15-30 minutes and gently agitate the filter in the solution. Rinse the filter with clean water until the water runs clear. Allow to air dry thoroughly and then reinstall. Reminder, Do Not Oil.

 

Long lifecycle

If cared for properly, the Sprint Filter will last for the entire time you own your bike.
