Why foam for air filters?

As part of our ongoing commitment to air filter development, we work closely with leading motorcycle race teams, engine builders and distributors to ensure that every air filter meets the exacting standards demanded by you, the customer.
For this reason, the decision was taken to relaunch the entire motorcycle air filter range, with a new foam specification and new packaging and catalogues to ensure that both product and brand perform as they should.

Pipercross foam is the secret to a lightweight, longlife performance air filter.

Pipercross air filters consistently outperform paper and cotton-gauze rivals to supply air to the engine - even when dirty! This is thanks to the multilaminate construction used in every Pipercross performance air filter. Layers of varying porosity foam all work together to trap different sized particles.

Air filter efficiency testing

Through extensive research and testing using the SAE J726c air cleaner test, Pipercross have developed the perfect combination of filter density and thickness of each layer. Where Pipercross filters are impregnated with the dirt retention additive, the filtration performance is greater enhanced - the additive helps the foam to swell, opening pores whilst providing a "sticky" layer to hold more dirt.

This greater dirt capacity translates to longer life and as Pipercross filters are washable, there is no waste - helping the environment and your wallet!
