Description
The BMC FM01012/01 is a high-performance replacement air filter designed for the Ducati Panigale V4 and V4 S from 2018 onwards, and is compatible with related Ducati V4 variants. It fits inside the motorcycle’s original airbox to replace the OEM air filter, requiring no modifications. The filter is made of highly performing materials that allow increased air flow combined with more efficient filtration, guaranteeing containment of impurities as small as 7 microns, compared to the 10 microns typical of OEM filters. BMC filters are made of a multi-layered cotton gauze soaked with low viscosity oil, covered with an epoxy coated alloy mesh to ensure protection from petrol fumes and oxidization due to air humidity. They are produced using BMC’s Full Moulding system, which forms the characteristic red filter from a single mould with no welded joints, avoiding easy breakage. All BMC air filters are supplied pre-oiled and ready to install. Because it uses oiled cotton gauze rather than paper, this filter is fully washable and reusable, and can be cleaned and regenerated using the appropriate BMC regeneration kit instead of being discarded. BMC also offers a dedicated Race version of this filter for riders who modify the engine and control unit in pursuit of higher power output on track.
