About Sprint Filter: Established in 1952, Sprint Filter started building high performance air filters and intake systems. Ever since their inception products have always been highly innovative and based on ongoing research and development of new filtering fabrics and intake systems. Sprint Filter air filters are widely gaining in popularity in the world of racing. Many top teams have chosen them, with their better performing polyester filter, for winning the World Championships.
About the P037: Sprint Filter P037 is an ultra-fine, water resistant air filter developed specifically for use in demanding conditions such as dirt, water and dust. Ideal for Dual Sport motorcycle, P037 can filter debris as small as 37 microns while providing airflow equivalent to our class-leading P08 road/race air filter. The performance of the Sprint Filter P037 has been proven in testing at the Bonneville Salt Flats, breaking many world speed records, and in the Bahrain Superbike Championship, where P037 has been chosen exclusively to cope with the dusty conditions. In independent testing carried out by University of Wales - Trinity St David.
The guaranteed air flow of 4,500 l/m2/sec. made a BMW GS1200 only with an aftermarket exhaust fitted and P037 air filter to be the fastest BMW GS1200 in the world, clocking 233.35 km/h at the Bonneville Salt Flats located in Utah, USA.
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 operationon 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.
Main Features:
Constant filtration and air flow value over time. In terms of efficiency, the P037 polyester filter retains 91.8% of 37 μ. particles as compared to the 76.42% that cotton retains.Construction of the support in just one material, to prevent unwanted separation of different materials.
Steel Mesh: Another step forward has been taken for the P08 and P16 air filters, which once again distance themselves from the competition owing to the use of innovative technologies. After using the polyester filtering element, Sprint Filter is the first company in the world in this market to use steel mesh with epoxy varnish to support the membrane filter. The advantages? The strength of the wire allows a wider mesh to be woven, with the free surface increasing from 66% to 80%, which means the filter can be made with superior structural characteristics.
Using steel instead of a light alloy does not increase the weight. Not only is the mesh wider, but the diameter of the wire used is smaller than that of the past, and this more than compensates for the greater specific weight. Finally, even the look of the filters has now improved: less polyurethane seepage is noticed on the filtering map (orange for P08s, white for P037s, black for P08F1-85s) so it is better defined.
"Water-Resistant" Tissues: Sprint Filter air filters are the only filters in the world with "water-resistant" characteristics (Sprint Filter patent, meaning SF is the only air filter manufacturer in the world that produces water-resistant 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!
