Continued success for Sprint Filter
Founder’s son Enzo Fiocchi took the
60 year old Sprint Filter family
business into the motorcycle
industry just five years ago and at
EICMA in November 2013 he was
able to announce the news that
their patented PO8 polyester filter
technology had been selected by
Ducati as stock fitment for the 1199
Superleggera

FOLLOWING positive international
reaction to the launch of their
patented waterproof air filter and
equipping of the San Diego BMW
race team at the Bonneville salt flats
(where five Sprint Filter equipped
land speed records were set!), the
success keeps on coming for the
family owned Milan based
manufacturer.
Said to be the oldest continuously
established
engine
filter
manufacturer in the world, the
founder’s son, Enzo Fiocchi, brought
The Team Calvo/Maverick
Viñales KTM 2013 Moto 3
World Championship win
is the latest in an
impressive and growing
list of race and
performance credentials
for the Milan based filter
manufacturer

the brand into the motorcycle
industry just four or five years ago.
In that time the company has
continued to rack up race success,
the latest being with Maverick
Viñales and his team Calvo taking
the Moto 3 World Championship on
his Sprint Filter equipped KTM.
Sprint are able to manufacture in
most popular filter media, but it is
with a patented 80 micron
polyester, that is composed of
threads of just five micron diameter,
that they have been able to deliver

a claimed doubling of the air flow
and higher filtration power
compared to other sport air filter
technologies.
Fiocchi says that their polyester
filters (PO8) “can be installed on
stock motorbikes without the need
to make any ECU tuning changes”.
At EICMA this year Fiocchi was
able to announce his first OE
contract in the motorcycle industry,
with Sprint filter having been
chosen by Ducati as the stock filter
for the 1199 Superleggera.
