The Sprint Filter P08 F1-85 does not, and saying so first is the only honest way to describe it. Against the standard P08 it gives filtration away: 85 microns of maximum aperture instead of 80. What it hands back is air on another scale — 15,000 litres per square metre per second against 5,050. On a 2016–2017 Speed Triple R, a 1050 triple with genuine appetite at the top of the rev range, that trade is worth examining rather than waving through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry racing polyester rated at 85 microns of maximum aperture, oiled at no point in its life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirflow rated at 15,000 l\/m²\/sec, close to three times the 5,050 of the standard P08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetention measured at 95.22 % on 100-micron particles against 93.13 % for the P08 — the ground given up is finer than that\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia area on the order of twice what a conventional performance element carries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSits in the untouched standard airbox: nothing to cut, nothing to reflash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleaned with compressed air and refitted; built to last the life of the bike, guaranteed for two years from purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA step backwards, taken on purpose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive microns sounds like a rounding error and is not one. A weave holds back what cannot pass through it, so every micron of retention is bought with restriction, and every litre of flow is bought with retention. That is a trade, not a league table: the P14 sits at the far end of the same line at 14 microns and 1,800 l\/m²\/sec, no better a filter, only one drawn for dust. The F1-85 was placed at the coarse end deliberately, because competition values something above retention — a resistance that starts low and stays close to where it started as the medium loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe condition that comes with it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn engine run on this medium is one taken apart on a schedule counted in running hours, refreshed long before the finer fraction can show up as wear on bores and rings. If your R is looked after that way — track days in the log, an hour count someone keeps, an engine you are prepared to open — the coarser weave costs nothing you were not going to renew anyway. If it is a road bike on a mileage-based service plan, expected to reach six figures on its original bores, the standard P08 at 80 microns keeps the guard tighter for a far smaller flow gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and cleaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eService means compressed air. Point it at the clean face so the dirt is pushed back out through the side it entered, not deeper in. Water and a little mild washing-up liquid deal with what the air leaves behind. Keep heat guns and flames away from it: let it dry in still air and refit it dry. Order it under PM193S F1-85; the full maintenance sheet is in the Downloads tab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is the Triumph Speed Triple R built for 2016 and 2017.
