Sprint Filter P14 Air Filter for Dusty Conditions – Triumph Scrambler 400 X (2024–2026) CM267P14

A fine medium is a promise about what will not reach the engine, and it holds only for as long as the element keeps breathing. Dusty air loads a filter faster than clean air, so this one asks to come out and be cleaned more often than the woven road element sharing its housing. That is the real decision behind the part, and it has less to do with the Scrambler 400 X than with whoever services it: finer medium, shorter intervals, and a job that needs something no shop can post to you.

Key Features

• Dry special nonwoven, filtration rated at 14 microns
• Rated throughput of 1,800 l/m²/sec, where the woven element in this housing is rated at 5,050
• Holds particles through the thickness of the mat instead of stacking them across one face
• Folded so far more medium goes into the standard Triumph box than would otherwise fit
• Never oiled at any point, so there is no film to renew and none that can migrate onwards
• Serviced and refitted instead of replaced; two years of Sprint Filter cover from purchase

The tool this promise depends on

Compressed air is the method. The line goes against the clean side of CM267P14 and pushes the load back out the way it came, which with a workshop compressor or a forecourt air line is a few minutes of work. Lacking either, water and a mild detergent achieve the same thing, but the mat has to dry all the way through before it goes back, and a short evening task becomes an overnight one. Neither route is hard and neither costs a component; both have to actually happen on time, because a fine medium in dirty air reaches any given restriction sooner than a coarse one. More of the dust is being stopped instead of passed, and that is exactly the exchange being bought.

Where it belongs on a 400 X

Gravel lanes on the way to the good roads, dry farm tracks in late summer, spells of weather in which every passing lorry lifts the verge into the air. That is the air this mat was drawn for. Set against it is the flow figure: 1,800 against 5,050 over the same unit of surface, no rounding error. On a series 400 single ridden mostly below the top of its rev range, that ceiling rarely limits anything; on a bike held at full throttle often and for long, the woven element is better balanced. Neither is a performance part — no element of this kind adds power to a standard motorcycle, and this one is bought to subtract something.

Care and cleaning

Direction decides everything on a depth-loading mat: air onto the clean face and outward, never inward, or the load is driven deeper. Once air stops lifting it, lukewarm water and a mild washing-up liquid take over; rinse until it runs clear. Dry it in open moving air only — radiators, heat guns and flame distort the material — and fit it dry. Sprint Filter's cleaning instructions can be downloaded from the Downloads tab.

Fitment & Compatibility

Built for the airbox of the Triumph Scrambler 400 X, 2024 to 2026, as a permanent stand-in for the disposable panel. Three machines in Triumph's 400 family share this part number; the Fitment tab carries the dates for each.
