The facts.
DescriptionThe whole story▼
With a 7-micron element in the airbox, the service interval stops being a number on the odometer. A T12 in the X-Cape 700 holds back far more of a dusty track than the standard weave, and everything it holds back is still in there at the end of the day. On a trip through dry country that makes the element something to look at in the evening, not only at the next service.
Key Features
- Nonwoven polyester special mat, used dry, filtering down to 7 µm
- 560 l/m²/sec of rated flow, the lowest in the range and the price of its retention
- Sprint Filter's medium for extreme conditions: off-road, desert and heavy dust
- Direct fit in the X-Cape 700's standard airbox; no remap needed
- No oil at any point, cleaned with air and reused
- Two years of warranty, specified for the life of the motorcycle
A daily look on dusty trips
How fast the mat loads depends entirely on the air. A day behind another bike on a dry track can put more on it than weeks of road riding. Because the T12 is dry, its condition can be read at a glance: a light grey film is normal, a solid layer means it is time to clean. A small air canister, or a compressor at a workshop along the way, is enough to restore it. Washing is for the end of the trip or a rest day, because the mat must be completely dry before it goes back in. None of this makes a standard X-Cape 700 stronger, since a filter adds no power to a series engine. What it does is keep fine dust out while the intake resistance stays under the rider's control.
Not the element for road trips
If the route is tarmac, the T12 is the wrong choice. Its flow is about a ninth of the standard P08's, it fills sooner, and on clean roads its fine filtration has nothing to catch. Sprint Filter lists two media for the X-Cape 700, this one and the P08 SM297S, and the honest rule is short: the P08 for roads and mixed use, the T12 for trips on which dust is the condition rather than the exception. Retention is not a ranking either: the T12 does a different job from the P08, not a better one. It costs about three quarters of the standard element, which is no reason to choose it for a road bike.
Care and cleaning
To clean SM297T12, blow compressed air through it from the side that faces the engine, out towards the dirty side. After a long dusty stage, wash it in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and rinse it clear. On a trip the temptation is to speed up drying; resist it. No campfire, no exhaust, no heater, only room temperature and moving air. Refit it completely dry and without oil. The maintenance sheet is in the Downloads tab.
