Road TRip
In 1972 the motocross world was given a “historic boost” by a
revolutionary product - a laminated, dual-foam air filter that, when
soaked in a special oil, allowed free airflow into the carburettor while
keeping dirt, grime, sand and water out of it. It was effective, durable,
washable and reusable. It took off, and the little Dutch start-up company
that invented it, called Twin Air, has continued to grow ever since!
Evolving continually with motorcycle design and technology, Twin Air
says its filters and accessories “have stayed ahead of the competition
for half a century. Today they are available for all motocross and ATV
vehicles and distributed worldwide. Twin Air filters are OEM-specified by
20+ motorcycle manufacturers and are the official air filter of American
Honda and Suzuki, Kawasaki Racing Team, Suzuki Geboers, Honda
Martin and Honda CAS, KTM Red Bull and many other teams. It remains
the choice of more World and National Champions than all other filters
combined”. Recent product launches from Twin Air include this foam
filter protection for the Africa Twin.
