Sprint Filter P08 Air Filter for Road & Track – Triumph Daytona 675 R (2012–2018) PM60S

This is one of the few listings in the catalogue where the model name on its own will not get you to the right part. Triumph's Daytona 675 R appears twice in the Sprint Filter programme, under two element codes whose year ranges overlap, and the PM60S is the one whose fitment reaches back to the beginning of the 675 story: the Daytona from 2006, the Daytona SE, and the first Street Triple and Street Triple R. Five machines, one airbox, one element.

Key Features

• A single woven layer of dry polyester, aperture calibrated to 80 µm, threads from ø 22 microns up
• Rated at 5,050 l/m²/sec, the standard Sprint Filter medium for road and track duty
• Completely dry, so no oil film can be drawn on to the sensor or into the throttle bodies
• About twice the filtering surface of rival performance elements in the standard housing
• A straight exchange for the paper panel: nothing cut, nothing remapped, approval untouched
• Cleaned rather than bought again, laid out for the life of the bike, two-year warranty

Reading a fitment list that overlaps itself

Sprint Filter numbers its elements by airbox rather than by model. That is why a supersport and a naked machine share a line here, and why two codes can both name a bike whose badge never changed. The reliable way through it is the year, not the name: hold the Fitment tab against your registration document, and where the ranges still overlap, take the panel out of the airbox and compare it with the drawing. The part in the box is the honest identifier, because it is the thing the part number actually describes.

What it changes on a bike of this age

Nothing that would show on a dyno. A drop-in filter does not make a standard 675 triple noticeably faster, and any description that hints otherwise is selling the wrong story. What changes is the shape of the restriction over time. A paper panel is designed to be used up: it loads, its resistance climbs, and the worst air the engine ever sees is the air shortly before the next service falls due. A washed PM60S returns to the figure it started at, every time. On a machine that left production years ago, it also takes one item off the list of things that have to be found and ordered.

Care and cleaning

An air line does the routine work, held to the clean face so the dirt leaves the way it came in. Once a year, or after a wet winter, wash the element in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and rinse until the water runs clear. Dry it in open air, never over a heater and never with a flame, and put it back dry. It is not oiled at any point in its life. The maintenance sheet is in the Downloads tab.

Fitment & Compatibility

Listed for the Triumph Daytona 675 R from 2012 to 2018. Four further machines share this element: the Daytona from 2006, the Daytona SE, and the Street Triple and Street Triple R of the same period. Because a later code also names this bike, confirm your year in the Fitment tab before ordering.
