DescriptionThe whole story▼
Born on the track and engineered for riders who demand more from their Ducati Panigale, the BMC Racing air filter FM716/20RACE is instantly recognisable by its signature yellow stripe — a mark of genuine race-derived heritage. It retains the exact dimensions of the OEM filter, so installation is straightforward, yet beneath that familiar form lies an advanced filtration medium that dramatically increases airflow without sacrificing the filtration quality your engine depends on.
Key Features
- Race-technology filtration medium delivers a measurably higher airflow rate compared to the standard filter, unlocking the true potential of the Panigale's engine.
- OEM-identical dimensions mean a direct, tool-simple swap — no modifications, no adaptors, no downtime.
- High filtration efficiency is maintained despite the elevated airflow, keeping harmful contaminants out of the combustion chambers.
- Optimised for modified engines and remapped ECUs, making this the natural companion to exhaust, fuelling and electronic upgrades.
- Distinctive yellow stripe provides an at-a-glance visual confirmation that the Racing filter is fitted — useful during track-day pre-ride checks.
- Developed from BMC's long history in motorsport, trusted by professional race teams and serious road riders alike.
Race Heritage Meets Everyday Reliability
BMC has spent decades supplying filtration solutions to factory race teams across MotoGP, World Superbike, and circuit racing globally. The FM716/20RACE translates that knowledge directly into a bolt-in upgrade for the street or track. The filter medium is engineered to flow freely under the high-rev, wide-open-throttle conditions that the Panigale's L-twin demands, while the multi-layer construction continues to trap fine particulates that would otherwise accelerate bore and valve wear.
Designed for the Modified Panigale
If your 1199 or 1299 Panigale has seen ECU remapping, a free-flowing exhaust, or other performance modifications, the standard air filter quickly becomes the weakest link in the intake tract. The FM716/20RACE resolves that bottleneck, allowing the fuelling map to breathe fully and the engine to deliver the power the tune promises. It is equally effective on unmodified machines as a first-step performance upgrade, improving throttle response and mid-range drive with no additional changes required.
