Sprint Filter P08 Air Filter for Yamaha YZF-R7 (2021-2026) CM148S

The Sprint Filter P08 is a direct-fit replacement air filter for the Yamaha YZF-R7 (2021–2026), engineered from high-grade polyester filter media to deliver superior airflow without compromising engine protection. Built by a manufacturer with more than 65 years of motorsport heritage — including active programmes in MotoGP, Moto3 and World Superbike — this is a filter that meets the demands of both daily road use and serious track days.

Key Features

• Polyester filter media with a 70-micron wire diameter traps contaminants down to 80 microns, keeping the engine clean while maintaining exceptional air permeability.
• Maximised airflow through the precision-woven medium unlocks the full performance potential of the YZF-R7 engine, translating directly into sharper throttle response and stronger mid-range delivery.
• Near-maintenance-free servicing: cleaning requires only compressed air — no oiling, no messy filter treatments, no specialist kit required.
• Long service life from the robust polyester construction means performance remains consistent across extended use, with no degradation in filtration efficiency.
• Proven motorsport pedigree — Sprint Filter's polyester technology is trusted at the highest levels of road racing, making the P08 one of the most thoroughly validated filter designs available.
• Direct OEM replacement fitment for the Yamaha YZF-R7 (2021–2026); no modifications required for installation.

Build Quality and Materials

Sprint Filter's P08 range is defined by the quality of its filter medium. Rather than the cotton gauze or foam used by many aftermarket alternatives, Sprint Filter uses an industrial-grade polyester mesh that is woven to exacting tolerances. The 70-micron wire diameter produces a consistent, uniform cell structure across the entire filter face, ensuring both the filtration efficiency rating (particles to 80 microns) and the airflow figure hold true under real-world conditions — not just in a test lab. The rigidity of the polyester frame means the filter retains its shape under high intake velocities, preventing the medium from distorting and opening up larger gaps that could allow debris to pass through. This structural integrity is a direct consequence of the material choice and the manufacturing precision Sprint Filter has refined over six decades.

Road and Track Performance

For the Yamaha YZF-R7, a parallel-twin platform that responds noticeably to intake improvements, the P08's enhanced airflow characteristic supports a measurable gain in engine breathing efficiency. On road, this translates to a livelier throttle response through the mid-range and a smoother power delivery at higher revs. On track, where sustained high-rpm running is routine, the filter's ability to maintain consistent airflow — rather than restricting it as a clogged paper element would — keeps the engine operating at its optimum throughout a session. The compressed-air cleaning procedure means a track-day service takes minutes, not the lengthy oil-dry cycle required by oiled cotton filters.

Fitment and Compatibility

The Sprint Filter P08 CM148S is a direct replacement for the factory air filter on the following model:

• Yamaha YZF-R7 (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026)

Installation follows the same procedure as an OEM filter change. No additional modifications, adaptors or retuning are required for road use.
