The facts.
DescriptionThe whole story▼
Nobody thinks about the air filter on a machine this new, and that is exactly the point at which the decision is worth making. The element in a 2025 Tiger Sport 800 is doing its job perfectly well and will keep doing it for a while yet — which is why the question gets postponed until the first one is due for replacement, and then answered by whatever the dealer has on the shelf. The choice between a part you buy repeatedly and a part you buy once is cheapest to make before the first replacement, not after the third.
Key Features
- Single-layer woven polyester, run dry: 80 µm at 5,050 l/m²/sec
- No oil at any stage — nothing to apply, nothing to migrate downstream
- Takes the paper panel's place in the series airbox, nothing modified
- Around twice the working surface of a typical performance element
- 93.13 % of 100-micron particles retained, against 76.42 % for four-layer oiled cotton
- Cleaned and refitted for the life of the machine; two years' warranty from purchase
The arithmetic nobody does at the start
A disposable element is not expensive once. It is expensive as a series, and the series is invisible when you are looking at the first one. Over the years a sport tourer is actually kept — and this is a class of motorcycle people keep — that series is the whole cost, while the washable alternative is a single purchase and a compressed-air line you already own. The reason to think about it now rather than later is simply that every replacement bought in the meantime is money spent inside a decision you had not yet made.
What it does not promise
Not more power. A drop-in element does not make a standard Tiger Sport 800 noticeably quicker, and nothing fitted to an unmodified airbox does — the intake was signed off as a system, and the filter was never the part holding it back. The SM301S offers a lower starting restriction and, because you can restore it whenever you choose, one that stays lower. A paper panel is at its best the day it goes in and at its worst the day it comes out, and nothing in between gives you a signal.
Care and cleaning
Compressed air on the clean face, worked outwards, so what the weave stopped leaves the way it came in. If something will not shift dry, lukewarm water with a little mild detergent lifts it; rinse until the water runs clear. Dry it in moving air at its own pace, never with heat or a flame, and refit it dry with nothing applied to it. The maintenance sheet for the SM301S is in the Downloads tab of this page.
Fitment & Compatibility
The P08 element for the Triumph Tiger Sport 800, model years 2025 to 2026. The same part covers the Trident 800 of 2026, which shares the airbox. Note the capacity: the 660 Tiger Sport and Trident take a different element, so order by displacement and model year rather than by name.
