DNA FCd1 tech high-flow cotton filters exceed OEM flow rates

Greek high-performance cotton air filter manufacturer DNA recently added five new applications to its fast growing application list - applications that show just how broad based and up-to-date their range is. 

2018-2019 Ducati Panigale V4 - for road and race use. Flow for the DNA filter is put at 181.50 cubic feet per minute (CFM), compared to 158.70 CFM for the OEM filter. This DNA Full Contour design filter is designed to be "spark safe" for racing use on highly tuned engines.

Showing that the company has coverage for the most recent and highest performance bikes on the market, there are filters available for the 2018-2019 Ducati Panigale V4 and Kawasaki Z900 RS; for the off-road and ADV market for the KTM 790/R Adventure; for the burgeoning middleweight market, and what we think is IDN's first aftermarket product item for the new Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor and Continental GT, and, showing that the coverage is as historically deep as it is contemporary, for BMW R Series models from 1969 - 1979.

Kawasaki Z900 RS - full contour design for road and race use. Flow is put at 198.30 CFM, compared to 163.20 CFM for the OEM filter.

KTM 790/R Adventure - full contour design for road, race and off-road use. Flow is put at 183.20 CFM, compared to 153.10 CFM for the OEM filter.

The filters feature their advanced DNA FCd1 (Full Contour design) technology, an innovative technique developed by DNA that allows the filtering material to follow the contour of the airbox precisely, or, in the case of the old BMWs, their model-specific round design.

Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor and Continental GT - round design, for road and race use. Flow is put at 60.40 CFM compared to 42.40 CFM for the OEM filter.

The FCd1 technique means the filter can use the complete surface as "active filtering area", which will eliminate any "dead spots" that can cause turbulence, therefore increasing air flow and filtering efficiency. 

BMW R Series models from 1969-1979 - round design, for road and race use.

A specially made laser-cut supporting frame is embedded into the DNA filter and the filtering efficiency of DNA's filtering media is described as being extremely high at 98-99% capture of dirt as small as 5 microns (ISO  5011), using four layers of DNA cotton.
