Continued success for Sprint Filter
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 still 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 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 and 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.
