Sprint Filter T12 Air Filter for Off-Road & Extreme – Moto Morini Scrambler (2018–2020) CM170T12

Both Scramblers left production years ago, and that is precisely why this page is worth reading carefully. Parts for a discontinued model line thin out; this element does not, because the housing it seals is shared with nine other Moto Morinis and one part number therefore stays in production for all of them. Bought once and cleaned thereafter, it takes the intake off the spares list altogether.

Key Features

• The range's finest material: nonwoven, rated at 7 microns
• 560 l/m²/sec on the bench, where the standard panel here reads 5,050
• Dirt is stored inside the mat rather than held on its outer face
• No oil in the specification — not on delivery, not after a wash
• Fits the untouched Scrambler airbox; no adapter, no map change
• Bought once and cleaned thereafter; warranty two years from purchase

A part that outlives the model

Production of a service part follows the total demand behind it, not the fortunes of one model. Eleven listings share this housing, which is why an owner of a machine built in 2018 can still buy a filter drawn for it in 2026. A washable element takes that one step further: after this purchase the question of availability stops applying to the intake at all, which is a different kind of value than any specification on the data sheet.

What seven microns is for

It is drawn for air where suspended mineral dust is the working environment and not an occasional event — dry tracks, sand, unsealed roads in high summer. The price is the flow figure, and it is paid on every kilometre, including the tarmac ones. On a 1200 twin that mostly sees sealed roads the standard element is the better-matched part; where the dry season genuinely means weeks of loaded air, this one is. Neither adds power: in an unmodified airbox the CM170T12 leaves a standard Scrambler exactly as strong as it was.

Care and cleaning

Cleaning the CM170T12 is slow work by design. Air on the clean side, low pressure, worked outwards until nothing more comes away — a 7-micron mat holds what it has caught. Then water: lukewarm, mild detergent, rinsed for longer than seems necessary. The drying is the part that decides whether the panel survives, so it happens in moving air at room temperature and nowhere near a heat source, however tempting the shortcut. It goes back untreated.

Fitment & Compatibility

Made for the Moto Morini Scrambler of 2018–2020, seated in the series airbox without modification. This 7-micron code is listed for the two Scramblers alone, while the standard weave for the same housing covers eleven machines. Check your build year in the Fitment tab.
