The Sprint Filter P08 SM260S for BMW R 1300 GS is a standard performance air filter, perfectly suited for street legal use or track sessions with a prepared motorcycle.
Research carried out by Trinity St David University of Wales has highlighted the exceptional performance of Sprint Filter's P08 polyester fabric . This material outperforms all other filters on the market, including major brand models specialized for racing.
The secret lies in the polyester filter media, which has a tiny wire diameter at just 70 microns . Its unique weave pattern ensures effective filtration of debris down to 80 microns, while ensuring superior airflow. This P08 filter airflow improvement maximizes your motorcycle's power potential, while providing top-notch filtration for optimal protection.

Sprint Filter P08 air filter: superior build quality and performance
Sprint Filter has over 65 years of experience manufacturing motorcycle air filters. With a history of success in the most prestigious competitions, including MotoGP, Moto3 and World SBK, you can have complete confidence in the quality of manufacturing and materials of your Sprint Filter P08 air filter.
Designed to provide optimal intake protection, combined with superior air flow, increased longevity and simplified maintenance, the Sprint Filter P08 air filter is the ideal choice to suit a variety of conditions, ensuring uncompromising performance.
The advantages of polyester fabric in air filters
Polyester offers exceptional permeability , structural stability and resists folding perfectly, ensuring consistent performance. In contrast, cotton or sponge filters rely on a multi-layer arrangement which can result in areas of low flow and uneven filtration.
The precise construction of Sprint Filter's polyester filters guarantees uniform filtration , which lasts over time. In comparison, cotton filters have variable openings, ranging from a few microns to several dozen.
Optimization of air flow with the polyester filter
The polyester filter element, uniform and compact, is composed of fine woven fibers forming a mesh of several tens of microns. This design effectively captures all significant particles while maintaining exceptionally high airflow.
The P08 polyester air filter provides superior airflow, outperforming OEM cotton or paper filters. Keep in mind this simple equation: More Air = More Power!
Filtration efficiency and performance of the P08 air filter
The Sprint Filter polyester air filter offers high particle retention: 93.13% for 100µ particles compared to only 76.42% for four-ply oil-impregnated cotton.
Thanks to its uniform structure, the Sprint Filter air filter guarantees less disturbed air flow, enhanced by the use of its exclusive and patented single-layer polyester filter material.
Sprint Filter: innovation and excellence in the manufacturing process
For over 50 years, Sprint Filter has distinguished itself in creating innovative products designed from the most sophisticated and technologically advanced materials. From aluminum to steel, through polyurethane foams and compact discs, to carbon and Kevlar plastics.
Every step of manufacturing is carried out in-house, with state-of-the-art equipment for design and production. Using three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CFA), filters and extraction systems are designed from molds developed with CNC machines. They are then manufactured using modern machinery for plastic molding and polyurethane dispensing.
