DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered exclusively for closed-course competition, the K&N DU-1112R Racing Air Filter carries a clear race-only certification — making it the responsible choice for Ducati Panigale riders who demand maximum airflow without compromising engine protection on track. Designed from the ground up for asphalt circuit conditions, it delivers a measurable increase in airflow to help unlock the full power potential of the 1199 and 1299 Panigale's twin-cylinder engine.
Key Features
- Race-only certification: the DU-1112R is approved exclusively for closed-course, paved track use — not road or off-road — ensuring compliance with competition regulations where it counts.
- Maximised airflow for peak horsepower: the filter's construction is tuned to reduce intake restriction, sharpening throttle response and supporting higher power output under race conditions.
- High-efficiency filtration: the layered cotton gauze media traps harmful contaminants including dust and fine debris without choking the intake, protecting the engine throughout an entire race weekend.
- Precision fitment for Panigale 1199/1299: direct OEM-position replacement requiring no modification — drop-in installation means less time in the pits and more time on the timing sheets.
- K&N race-proven engineering: developed under the same stringent standards that have made K&N a fixture in professional motorsport worldwide.
Purpose-Built for the Track
The DU-1112R exists for one environment: the racetrack. Unlike a dual-purpose performance filter, every design decision here — media density, seal geometry, housing clearances — has been made with paved circuit use in mind. The result is a filter that operates at its peak when the Panigale is being pushed hardest, delivering consistent airflow through extended sessions without the filtration compromises that a purely race-oriented design would otherwise introduce.
Engine Protection Under Extreme Conditions
Racing conditions expose an engine to more concentrated intake contamination than road use — tyre debris, track surface particles, and high-speed turbulence. K&N's cotton gauze filtration media handles these demands reliably, maintaining airflow efficiency lap after lap while keeping the 1199 or 1299's engine internals safe from abrasive ingress.
Important Safety Note
The K&N DU-1112R Racing Air Filter is certified for closed-course, paved track use only. It is not approved for road use or off-road use in any jurisdiction. Fitting this filter to a road-registered motorcycle may render the vehicle non-compliant with applicable type-approval requirements. Always verify your competition series regulations before fitting any race-only component.
