BMC Air Filters are synonymous with quality and performance. Now, the new Carbon Racing Filter (CRF) is the capstone of their street and racing air filter lines. Two elements separate BMC CRF filters from their other models. First, where airbox dimensions permit, the surface area of the cotton filter element has been increased with a reshaping of the filter’s frame. This greater surface area allows air to pass through the filter more easily as resistance to efficient airflow is reduced when gases travel from the atmosphere, through the airbox (and air filter!) and ultimately into the combustion chamber. This unique shape is made possible by the second innovation of the BMC CRF filter; its carbon fiber frame. Manufactured from pre-impregnated carbon fiber, the skeleton is light and strong yet easily withstands the heat and vibration common in racing engines. We have noticed that BMC CRF air filters are half the weight of their already light OEM-replacement air filters. All of these technologies have been derived directly from BMC’s efforts in Formula 1, WSBK & MotoGP racing. Best of all, just like BMC street and BMC race air filters, the cotton filter element can be regenerated and reused as needed making it a one-time performance investment. BMC CRF Filters are only available for the following makes & models: BMW S1000RR Ducati 1098 1198 Kawasaki ZX-10R 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 06-10 GSX-R750 06-10 GSX-R1000 07-11 Yamaha YZF-R1 09-11 Availability of these filters is extremely limited. Call TJ at 866-931-6644 ext 817 – or – send an email to WERA at RIDERSDISCOUNT DOT com with BMC CRF FILTER in the subject line and we’ll get back to you right away. All BMC CRF filters come pre-oiled and securely packaged. BMC CRF filters are shaped differently than OEM to allow greater surface area for air to pass through. Here are some other comparison shots of the BMC CRF filter along with OEM and aftermarket air filters. Pictured at the top is a BMC CRF air filter and below, a BMC Race filter and finally, the OEM unit. The slanted layout of the CRF air filter provides an increased surface area when compared to stock, providing less airflow resistance and the potential for greater engine performance. Pictured at the left is a BMC race air filter for the GSX-R600K6. Next to it, the massive CRF filter unit that fits in its place. A profile view shows the real advantage of the CRF air filter for YZF-R1 with its increased surface area providing less flow resistance and the potential for greater engine performance. Ducati owners can choose between a "just" a CRF air filter or a complete BMC CRF Ducati air filter kit which also includes carbon fiber velocity stacks! BMC CRF carbon fiber frames are light and extremely strong. Like all BMC CRF filters, this S1000RR race-specification air filter element is pre-oiled from the factory and held in place by a protective epoxy-coated aluminum mesh screen for high permeability and maximum airflow. 2011 ZX10R BMC CRF Race air filter. Users demanding maximum engine performance and the lightest possible weight from their motorcycles should take a good look at BMC Carbon Racing Filters for their motorcycles. They’re lighter than any other aftermarket air filter we’ve come across and, unlike some specialty filters, they can easily be washed and re-used as the operator sees fit.
Wow these are some very unique design changes compared to the race filters. And the tin can! Awesome...
You are correct they are not cheap but a VERY nice piece. If I am not mistaken retail is $295-595. If you have the 1198 the stacks and filter retail for $957.
No 05-06 GSXR 1000 filters WTF? those are one of the best race bike out there still puttin in work LOL
I'll be saving my pennies for one of these, along with velocity stacks and an autotune module... Darn you Riders Discount...posting all these sexy parts with great prices! Taking all my money.
