The facts.
DescriptionThe whole story▼
Of all the modern Thruxtons, the R is the one that ends up on a circuit. It has the brakes and the suspension for it, and a track day is a very specific kind of use: the same engine load repeated for twenty minutes at a time, in air full of rubber dust and whatever the paddock is made of. What matters there is not a peak figure but repeatability — the third session behaving like the first. The Sprint Filter PM217S is built for that: dry polyester, cleaned with an air line between sessions, back to the restriction it started the day with.
Key Features
- Cleaned on the spot with compressed air: dry woven polyester, never oiled
- 80 µm filtration at 5,050 l/m²/sec, the P08 medium developed with road and track use in mind
- Against other performance filters, roughly double the filtering surface
- Standard airbox, standard position, no modification and no remap — and still road legal
- Washable, reusable, and built to last the life of the motorcycle
- A two-year warranty applies from the date of purchase
Serviceable in the paddock, not in the workshop
Cleaning an oiled filter is a job for a garage: solvent, drying time, re-oiling, and a wait before the bike can be ridden again. None of that fits between two sessions. The P08 is serviced with compressed air blown from the clean side outwards, which takes a couple of minutes at any compressor line, and the element goes straight back in — dry, because it was never wet and never oiled.
What a filter can honestly claim
It will not turn a standard Thruxton into a faster motorcycle; drop-in elements do not do that, whatever the marketing says. What it does is hold intake restriction low and keep it there — an element that loads up over a season is quietly taking away a little more each time it is used, and the rider adapts without noticing. Cleaning the PM217S puts the intake side back to a known state, which for anyone lapping the same circuit twice a year is the more useful property.
Care and cleaning
Between sessions the air line does everything: clean side, blown outwards, so the load leaves the way it arrived. At home, water and a mild detergent take on what the compressor could not, rinsed until the water runs clear. The element then dries out fully in open air — no heat, no flame, no shortcuts — and it goes back into the airbox dry. The maintenance sheet is filed under the Downloads tab.
Fitment & Compatibility
Made for the Triumph Thruxton 1200 R, 2016–2020. The same PM217S element covers five machines built around this airbox — the Speed Twin 900 and Speed Twin 1200, and the Thruxton 1200 in R, RS and TFC form. The full list with model years is in the Fitment tab.
