Overview
The foam material of our racing filters have a much more open structure, which makes the protection of a much shorter duration, note: protection is 100% but much shorter, the maintenance frequency is so high that these filters are NOT suitable for roadbikes Our roadbike filters have a maintenance frequency of once a year, regardless of the mileage. Stick to this so that the foam cannot dry out and the protection for the next year is 100% insured. In countries around the Equator with extremely high temperatures and extremely high humidity, road engine filters must be serviced at least twice a year. Racebike filters can handle the same maintenance frequency as normal. Only MWR Airfilter oil may be used because this oil is biodegradable and therefore also resistant to backfire So …. very simple, the red filters are for the road bikes and black filters are for the track & race bikes
This experience has been gained working with some of the biggest air filter companies in Europe in areas such as World MX, Dakar (bikes, cars and trucks), Moto GP, WSB, BSB, AMA and even Rallycross. The knowledge gained during this period was invaluable and led MWR to develop their range of performance foam filters.
The Performance Filter (MC-160-25)
This filter is a direct performance upgrade from your bikes standard filter. Offering better airflow and protection than the original, this filter will (when maintained correctly) last the life of your bike, simply clean and re-oil once a year.
The HE (High Efficient) air filter (MC-160-25-HE) for road & race bikes
The revolutionary HE Air filter increases power and reduces intake noise. Unlike any other sports filter all inlets will get the same quantity of air, regardless of the speed of the motorcycle or wind directions. This is because of the unique design of the Air Splitter Plate (see illustration to understand how the Air Splitter works) and how it evenly distributes air throughout the airbox. No different fuel-mappings between internal & external or front & rear cylinders are needed. Clean and re-oil once a year.
The Full Race (RACE ONLY) air filter (MC-160-25-R)
Developed on the track, NOT on a dyno but in real life on bikes with Data-loggers being tested and developed in part with TOP Teams for ultimate performance. With new materials and a new design, protection is on the same level as the filters above, only for a shorter period of time before they must be serviced.
It makes the bike stronger and smoother, therefore it saves tires and fuel. Check the air filter every race weekend and always start each race weekend with a well oiled filter. This air filter is not developed to reduce the inlet noise. Due to the design features of this filter we do not recommend it for road use.
Guidelines for maintainance of the MWR Airfilters
The MWR roadbike filters have a maintenance frequency of once a year, regardless of the mileage. Stick to this so that the foam cannot dry out and the protection for the next year is 100% insured.
In countries around the Equator with extremely high temperatures and extremely high humidity, road engine filters must be serviced at least twice a year.
