DescriptionThe whole story▼
When every tenth of a second counts on track, the BMC FM955/04 replacement air filter for the Honda CBR 1000 RR (2017-2019) delivers the unrestricted airflow that a standard paper element simply cannot match. Engineered for riders who demand race-level engine response, this drop-in filter slots directly into the factory airbox with no modifications required.
Key Features
- Four-layer cotton gauze construction impregnated with a low-tack oil maximises airflow while maintaining excellent filtration efficiency — more charge for the engine, less restriction on the throttle.
- Higher air throughput than the OEM paper filter translates directly into improved engine output and reduced pressure drop across the rev range.
- Aluminium mesh outer layer shields the cotton media from fuel vapours and oxidation, preserving filter integrity across repeated hard sessions.
- Rubber frame eliminates the risk of cracking or deformation, ensuring a consistent, leak-free seal in the airbox at all times.
- Washable and reusable design cuts long-term running costs — clean, re-oil and refit rather than replacing with a throwaway paper element.
- Tested to international filtration standards, guaranteeing the quality and consistency that both road and track use demands.
Performance on Track and Road
The CBR 1000 RR's inline-four responds noticeably to improved breathing. The BMC FM955/04 removes the primary airflow restriction of the standard paper element, allowing the engine to ingest a greater volume of cleaner air at every throttle opening. The result is sharper throttle response, stronger mid-range pull and a more linear power delivery from corner exit to the next braking point. On the road the benefits are equally tangible — the four-layer cotton media traps fine particulate matter with greater efficiency than paper, keeping combustion chambers cleaner over longer service intervals.
Build Quality and Longevity
BMC constructs the FM955/04 to survive the hostile environment inside a high-performance airbox. The aluminium mesh outer layer acts as a mechanical barrier against petrol vapour and oxidisation that would degrade a lesser filter over time. The rubber sealing frame maintains its shape and pliability even after repeated cleaning cycles, so fitment remains precise service after service. Unlike disposable paper elements, this filter is designed to outlast the bike's original fitment many times over with correct maintenance.
Fitment and Compatibility
The BMC FM955/04 is a direct-fit replacement air filter for the following model:
- Honda CBR 1000 RR — model years 2017, 2018 and 2019
No airbox modifications are required. The filter uses the same mounting geometry as the OEM element for a straightforward service-interval swap.
