Details
T12 - Maximum Filtration. Extreme Conditions.
Sprint Filter T12 is an advanced dry air filter developed for extreme operating environments, including Off-Road, Enduro, Adventure and Rally Raid applications.
Specifically designed for prolonged exposure to fine dust, desert conditions and demanding competition environments, T12 prioritizes maximum filtration efficiency and engine protection.
Its advanced filtering media is engineered for applications where fine-particle contamination represents a significant challenge.
Filtration & Performance
T12 features a specialized filtering media with a filtration rating of 12 microns, designed to capture extremely fine dust particles in severe operating conditions.
Its high filtration efficiency makes it particularly suitable for Rally Raid, desert riding, dusty competitions and extended off-road use.
T12 is designed for situations where protecting the engine from fine airborne contaminants takes priority.
Easy Maintenance
T12 requires minimal maintenance and does not need oiling.
For routine cleaning, simply remove the filter from the airbox and use compressed air to remove accumulated dust.
In cases of persistent contamination, the filter can also be washed with detergent and subsequently dried using compressed air.
No filter oil or special oil treatments are required.
Durability & Build Quality
Engineered for extreme operating conditions, T12 is designed to provide reliable filtration performance even in environments characterized by heavy dust exposure.
Its reusable dry-filter construction combines ultra-fine filtration, practical maintenance and durability, making it suitable for demanding off-road and competition applications.
Fabrics of filters
The common performances air filters are composed of cotton yarn very large, the Sprint Filter polyester air filters instead consist of much smaller yarns and calibrated. Thanks to this type of construction the Sprint Filter polyester fabric allows a better filtration combined with a good air permeability, as shown by tests performed. It is necessary say that as regards the cotton fabric results obtained were not constant, this is due to the weak structure and mobile of cotton gauze, the following data are, however, best obtained. With respect to the polyester fabric data have remained constant and precise.

Air permeability
The uniform and compact polyester filtering element consists of a thin filament of fabric, forming a mesh of several dozen microns, capable of trapping all significant particles and ensuring a very high air flow rate. Our polyester air filter guarantees a very high air flow that neither cotton filters nor OEM paper filters can achieve. Remember this simple equation: More Air = More Power!
Efficiency filtration
The Sprint Filter polyester air filters retain 93.13% of 100 μ particles (Sprint Filter P08 air filter) - 91.8% of 37 μ particles (Sprint Filter P037 air filter) - 95.22% of 100 μ particles (Sprint Filter P08F1-85 air filter) versus the 76.42% of a common 4-layer oil-soaked cotton air filter
Because of its uniform structure, the Sprint Filter air filter ensures less air flow disturbance, also thanks to the exclusive and patented filtering material in single-layer polyester.
The realization
Sprint Filter creates over 65 years innovative products made with the most sophisticated and technologically advanced materials: from aluminum, steel, and then move on to materials in polyurethane foams to get to plastics all kinds of fine carbon and kevlar. The entire process of manufacturing our products is done internally with sophisticated equipment design and production: designed with advanced three-dimensional cad-cam our filters and extraction systems are built using molds developed with numerical control machines and realization fine with modern machinery for molding plastics and dispensing of polyurethane.
