Veghel, Netherlands based filter manufacturer Twin Air has added applications for Honda's two new 2019 CRF450X and CRF450L models, as a results of Honda's completely new airbox design.
Twin Air is offering original replacement air filters, a complete PowerFlow kit that includes an aluminium cage and 44 mm universal bolt, an airbox cover and radiator sleeves.
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 - over 300 World Champions have been supported by Twin Air since 1972".
Effective, durable, washable and reusable, Twin Air foam filters are "available for all motocross and ATV vehicles and distributed worldwide, OEM-specified for 20+ motorcycle companies, and are 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".
Twin Air's design and technology is based on recognition of the two quite different and often competing characteristics needed from a motocross air filter - high air flow and maximum particulate restriction.
"By doubling-up on the filtration process with a fused dual-layer design that has become the go-to standard air filter architecture, the fused layers of open-pore foam and fine inner foam layer trap even the smallest particles. The rounded design boosts airflow, and 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 horsepower-boosting performance of improved air flow volume and speed - where air flow is concerned speed means more speed - and that comes from minimum possible disruption and restriction of the air flow," says Pieter Does, General Manager.
"We manufacture some models with a backfire-resistant foam layer laminated to the filter so we can even eliminate the restrictive stock backfire screen from the air box. As engine technology has advanced, so too filter technology has had to not just keep up, but be ahead of OE engineers' requirements in order to help them access the full potential of the machines they are designing. One of our 'secret sauce' ingredients is the quality of foam we specify - one that means that the cells are evenly sized and distributed throughout the structure of the air cleaner, making for a smooth, predictable and consistent air flow. This is a huge advantage to the engineers and to professional as well as amateur racers and means that our filters are truly fully washable and durable - the structure is stable and uniform. Reusing a Twin Air motorcycle or ATV filter at least 50 times is common. We also use a high-quality, greaseless sealing ring, with every filter assembled by hand and inspected for a perfect fit".
