The facts.
DescriptionThe whole story▼
Triumph reworked the 800 triple in 2015 and the changes were the kind an owner notices: new designations, revised electronics, reworked ergonomics. The air path was not part of that programme. The same airbox and the same element carried on, which is why one Sprint Filter part number covers the first machines of 2011 and the last of 2019 alike. For anyone running an early Tiger 800 that matters: this is not a leftover for a superseded bike but the current part for a family that ran nine model years.
Key Features
- One woven layer of dry polyester, calibrated to an 80 µm aperture, threads from ø 22 microns upwards
- Rated at 5,050 l/m²/sec, the standard Sprint Filter medium for road and track use
- Dry throughout, so no oil film travels downstream onto the sensor or the throttle bodies
- Roughly twice the filtering area of other performance elements inside the standard airbox
- Fits the series housing as it stands: nothing cut, nothing remapped, type approval untouched
- Cleaned instead of binned, built for the life of the machine, two years of cover from purchase
What a mid-life update leaves alone
The intake tract is the slowest-moving part of a motorcycle. Bodywork, instruments and mapping get revised because customers can see and feel them; an airbox is signed off once and then carried over, since touching it means re-running the noise and emissions work. That is why a 2011 Tiger 800 and a 2019 XCx share a filter, and why the parts listings look more complicated than the hardware: half a dozen designations exist for what is, in intake terms, one machine. Go by model year, not by the badge on the flank.
What the element is honestly for
A drop-in filter does not add power to a standard triple. What changes is the shape of the restriction over time. A cellulose element is designed to be used up: it loads, its resistance climbs, and the worst air the engine ever breathes is the air just before the next service falls due. A washed P08 goes back to the figure it started at, every time. Retention is not the price of that: in Sprint Filter's own comparison this medium holds back 93.13 per cent of 100 micron particles, where four layers of oiled cotton manage 76.42. Finer media exist — the same housing takes a T12 for dirt roads — but a finer weave buys retention with flow, a trade rather than a ranking.
Care and cleaning
Servicing the PM124S is a job for an air line: aim it at the clean face and push the dust back out the way it came. Once a year, or after a filthy summer, wash it in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and rinse until the water runs clear. Let it dry in open air only, never over a heater and never with a flame, and put it back dry. Oil plays no part at any stage. The maintenance sheet sits in the Downloads tab.
Fitment & Compatibility
Made for the Triumph Tiger 800 built from 2011 to 2015. The same element serves three listings in this catalogue, covering the 800 Tigers to the end of production in 2019. Check your model year and designation against the Fitment tab before ordering, because the ranges overlap.
