The facts.
DescriptionThe whole story▼
From 2025 the X-Cape wears a 700 badge, and the obvious assumption is that a bigger engine came with a different intake. For the air filter it did not: Sprint Filter lists the same SM297S for the X-Cape 700 as for the 650 of 2023–2024. Whatever changed sits elsewhere. The housing the element seals into is the same, so the element is too. That matters to anyone who reaches this page by searching for the model name, because the name alone no longer tells the two bikes apart.
Key Features
- One dry layer of woven polyester at 80 µm, with threads from 22 µm across
- Rated at 5,050 l/m²/sec through the clean weave
- 93.13 % retention of 100-micron particles, against 76.42 % for four-layer oiled cotton
- About double the filtering area of other performance elements
- Goes into the series X-Cape 700 airbox in place of the paper panel, no modification, no remap
- Never oiled; washed, dried and refitted, with a two-year warranty
Ordering by code and year
Two products in this shop carry X-Cape in the title, and the model years are the difference: 2023–2024 for the 650, 2025–2026 for the 700. Here both lead to the same SM297S, but the habit is worth keeping, because the same airbox also sits in a naked, a scrambler and a cruiser, and the list of media is not identical across them. The code on the element and the year of the bike are the two facts that identify a filter. The name on the tank is the weakest one.
What a larger engine asks of the element
More displacement means more air through the same box at full throttle, and it is fair to ask whether the standard weave keeps up. Sprint Filter rates it for road and track use, so it does. What it will not do is add anything to a series 700, because a filter in a standard airbox does not make the engine stronger. The gain is a resistance that stays close to where it started over the service interval, and a part that is cleaned instead of bought again. If your trips run through days of dust, the T12, also listed for the 700, is the better element for those trips. On roads, the P08 is.
Care and cleaning
Clean SM297S from the inside out: compressed air on the engine-facing side, pushing dirt back the way it came. Grease or road film comes out with lukewarm water and a little mild detergent, then a thorough rinse. Allow it to dry fully at room temperature with air moving around it, because heat from a gun, a heater or a flame damages the polyester, and put it back dry without oil. The Downloads tab has the maintenance sheet.
