KTM 790 Adventure R air filter products
Leading foam air filter manufacturer Twin Air
has developed a new foam air filter solution
for the 2019 - 2020 KTM 790 Adventure R.
The new foam air filter and filter frame
replaces the OEM paper filter. "The foam
solution gives the bike better protection and
performance," says Twin Air's Bart Ghielen.
Available as filter only, or pre-oiled filter
with frame, it is is easy to install by following
the instructions.
Twin Air has been a leading foam air filter
manufacturer for almost 50 years and only
makes motorcycle and ATV air filters, with
off-road and motocross performance its
speciality.
A major OE filter manufacturer, with the
added reach of its aftermarket programme,
Twin Air can claim to have been the filter of
choice for "more world and national
champions than all other air filters
combined", having supported over 300
world champions.
It was in 1972 that Twin Air gave the
motocross world a historic boost with its
revolutionary approach to air filter design - 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 start-up company that
invented it is the Twin Air we know today.
Today they are available for all motocross
and ATV vehicles and distributed worldwide.
Twin Air filters are OEM-specified for 20+
motorcycle companies, and the official air
filter of worldwide factory teams such as
Honda HRC, Kawasaki Racing Team, Yamaha
Racing, Red Bull KTM, Rockstar Husqvarna
and many more.
At the heart of the Twin Air filter technology
is a fused dual-layer design that doubles up
on the protection the engine gets,
recognising that the two quite different and
often competing characteristics needed from
a motocross air filter - high air flow and
maximum particulate restriction - are not an
easy combination to achieve.
"The fused layers of open-pore foam and
fine inner foam layer trap even the smallest
particles. The rounder design boosts airflow,
with a revolutionary micro-gluing process to
minimise the seams - shorter seams mean
more flow. We have a combination that
makes it possible to maximise the protection
for the engine and optimise the horsepower
boosting performance of improved airflow
volume and speed," says Bart.
Subject to application, some Twin Air fused
foam air filters also include a backfire
resistant foam layer laminated to the filter to
eliminate the restrictive stock backfire
screen from the air box.
