SprintFilter

Air filters on one hand must ensure a good air flow, but they also need to filter to prevent significant particles from ending up in the cylinders. Those two things, obviously, don’t fit with each other.

Current production vehicles are typically equipped with paper filters, while performance vehicles used oil-soaked cotton or sponge. An air filter job is to guarantee good air flow while preventing significant particles from ending up in the engine. These two operations naturally oppose each other as an air filter needs to optimize the air flow and the level of filtering

Standard bikes are normally equipped with paper filters while for sports filters the usual solution was to use cotton soaked in oil. SPRINT FILTER, with the adoption of the polyester filtering fabric, takes a leap forward and makes all previous systems obsolete.

Main features:

Constant filtration and air passage over time.

As for efficiency, the P08 polyester filter retains 93.13% of 100 µ particles, against 76.42% for cotton.

Construction of the support in a single material, to avoid unwanted detachments between different materials.

Another great success for Sprint Filter: the collaboration with HRC has begun. The confidence shown by the most important Racing Departments in the world towards Sprint Filter proves the absolute excellence and quality of the only polyester filter in the world.

AIR PASSAGE

The polyester air filter ensures a very high air passage, which cannot be paired either by cotton filters (whose permeability depends on the number of layers used), nor by the original equipment paper filters. Let's remember the simple equation: more Air = more Power!

FILTERING

The construction precision of the polyester filter allows to have a filtration degree equal to the declared one and constant over time. The cotton filter, on the other hand, is characterized by extremely variable openings, from 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 from 5 to 200 µ). Only after the formation of a dust-cake on the surface, the filtering power increase up to 80%, but a drastic pressure drop follows. In summary, for 50% of its life, the cotton filter has a low filtering power while for the following operating time there’s very high pressure drop.

STRUCTURE

The polyester fabrics are extremely permeable, stable and are not affected by folding during construction or during maintenance. Cotton or sponge air filters, on the other hand, have a weaving that depends on the overlapping of numerous layers and it's easilly foldable, leading to poor flow in some areas and ineffective filtration in others. 

P08 FILTER

Filtration degree 80 microns, with guaranteed air passage of 5000 l/m²sec: these values make the P08 a very versatile and efficient filter, suitable for road use but with outstanding performance characteristics: bench tests of a 1,000 cc 4 cylinders motorcycle without ECU remapping, found 2.5 HP more in the middle of the power curve. It's are available for a wide range of vehicles, both motorcycles and scooters.

P08F1-85 FILTER

Developed and used by the most important Official teams in MotoGP and SBK, it allows to have the highest permeability existing for any air filter on the market (it allows an impressive air passage of 15000 l./m2sec), ensuring a filtering power of 85 microns which makes it even more exclusive. All these features make the P08F1-85 particularly suitable for competitions, but the special Sprint Filter technology makes it usable even on the most sophisticated latest generation 600 and 1,000 cc super sports motorcycles, even standard ones which in most cases do not need to be adjusted through special ECU mappings or additional ECUs. Their use, however, allows you to take advantage of 100% of the potential of this technological jewel.

P037-WP FILTER

Together with the P08F1? 85, it’s the only air filter in the world with water-proof features (Sprint Filter patent which allows it to be the only manufacturer in the world to produce waterproof air filters for endothermic engines). The interweaving of the fabric guarantees a filtration degree of 37 microns, therefore very high which, combined with the water proof capabilities, makes this type of filter particularly suitable for use in harsh conditions with the presence of mud (no sand and fine dust). The guaranteed air passage of 4500 l/m2sec, has allowed a BMW GS 1200 equipped with only an aftermarket exhaust and a P037 air filter, to be the fastest GS1200 in the world: 233.35 Kph, performance obtained on Bonneville’s salt lake in Utah, USA

AFAM designs and manufactures the components of its transmission kits by placing very specific objectives, such as light weight, low noise, limiting the power dissipated and others: chain, rear sprockets and front sprockets so accrued guarantee excellent performances. The AFAM kits are of two types: The Standard step closely follows the original equipment size while the step 520, with Racing orientation, can significantly reduce the weight of the transmission in favor of significant improvements in acceleration.

AFAM STANDARD PITCH KIT

The AFAM standard pitch kits ensure high mileage and are the best solution for the replacement of the transmission; You can also choose a different gear ratio than the original to optimize the performance of the bike.

AFAM TRANSMISSION KIT 520

This kit, Racing -derived, enables better performance thanks to the lower friction, the better smoothness and lower rotating masses involved in imparting accelerations. With the 520 Racing Kit ( lightweight sprockets, Aluminum and high- strength chain of small), in fact, you can reach a weight saving of up to 1.5 kg.
