Sprint Filter P08F1-85 Air Filter for Ducati Panigale V4/S/R (2018-2024) – PM160S F1-85

Born from over 65 years of motorsport heritage and refined in the pits of MotoGP, Moto3 and World Superbike, the Sprint Filter P08F1-85 is the racing-grade air filter that transforms your Ducati Panigale V4, V4 S or V4 R into a genuinely freer-breathing machine. The PM160S F1-85 designation marks it out as the highest-flow variant in the Sprint Filter range — a filter that carries genuine championship pedigree to every road ride and track day.

Key Features

• Triple the airflow of the standard P08 filter, unlocking the full induction potential of the Panigale V4 platform without any ECU remapping requirement for road use.
• Precision polyester filtration medium with a wire diameter of just 22 micrometres captures particles up to 85 micrometres in size, maintaining exceptional engine protection alongside class-leading permeability.
• The world's only waterproof filter of its type — Sprint Filter's patented construction keeps performance consistent in wet-weather racing and adverse road conditions alike.
• Near-maintenance-free service life: a blast of compressed air is all that is needed to restore the filter, with no messy oil treatments or specialist cleaning solvents required.
• Structural integrity that endures — with correct care the filter retains its flow characteristics and filtration efficiency across many years of use without detectable degradation.
• Proven race heritage: Sprint Filter supplies MotoGP, Moto3 and World SBK teams, bringing that same F1-85 specification directly to road and track riders.

Design, Finish and Heritage

The F1-85 designation is not a marketing label — it is a direct reference to the filter specification developed for factory-level racing programmes. Every P08F1-85 unit reflects Sprint Filter's Italian manufacturing ethos: precise construction, consistent quality control, and a finish that looks purposeful installed in the Panigale V4's airbox. The open, high-flow polyester mesh has a distinctive appearance that signals its race origins, and it replaces the original filter with a direct, tool-accessible fit that requires no permanent modification to the motorcycle.

With more than six decades of filter development behind it, Sprint Filter has accumulated a body of race data that informs every production unit. The P08F1-85 is the product of that accumulated knowledge — refined at circuits where fractions of a percentage point in airflow translate directly into lap-time gains, then made available to riders who demand the same standards on the road.

Performance in Context

The Ducati Panigale V4 engine family responds directly to improvements in induction efficiency. The P08F1-85 delivers a documented threefold increase in airflow compared to the standard P08 while maintaining near-identical filtration effectiveness. On the street this translates to sharper throttle response and a more direct connection between rider input and engine output. On track, where every session demands maximum engine breathing, the F1-85 specification ensures the airbox is never the restriction in the system.

Fitment and Compatibility

The Sprint Filter P08F1-85 PM160S is a direct-replacement air filter designed to fit the following models:

• Ducati Panigale V4 (2018–2024)

• Ducati Panigale V4 R (2018–2024)

No permanent modifications are required. The filter seats directly in the original airbox housing using standard factory fixings.
