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.
