Sprint Filter strengthens its MotoGP legacy with renewed Aprilia Racing and VR46 partnerships in 2026

A new chapter of performance, innovation, and shared racing ambition with two of MotoGP’s most dynamic teams

Sprint Filter enters 2026 with renewed vigor and commitment to excellence in the MotoGP world. The brand has officially extended its long-standing partnership with Aprilia Racing, celebrating more than a decade of technical collaboration, and continues its exciting multi-year alliance with the VR46 Racing Team. Both partnerships reflect Sprint Filter’s dedication to cutting-edge performance air filtration technology at the highest level of motorcycle racing.

Over a decade-long excellence with Aprilia Racing

Since 2015, Sprint Filter has proudly served as the Official Sponsor and a key technical partner to Aprilia Racing in the MotoGP World Championship. This renewed partnership into 2026 marks more than 10 years of collaboration — a major milestone for both brands at the pinnacle of two-wheel competition.

Aprilia’s CEO, Massimo Rivola, has highlighted the strategic importance of this enduring alliance. In a past interview, Rivola emphasized how a stable technical partnership allows both teams to “solve problems much faster” and innovate together — from MotoGP prototypes to limited-edition production models that carry racing-derived Sprint Filter technology.

By integrating Sprint Filter’s high-performance air filters into the RS-GP MotoGP bikes and exclusive Aprilia models like the RSV4 X-GP, this collaboration continues to blur the line between racing excellence and road-going performance, reinforcing Sprint Filter’s role in Aprilia’s performance DNA.

Building Momentum with VR46 Racing Team

The partnership with the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team — first announced for 2025 — remains in full force heading into 2026. Sprint Filter is proud to support this ambitious Ducati-supported independent team from Tavullia, known for its bright yellow livery and competitive spirit.

In 2025, VR46’s MotoGP campaign brought strong performances and notable podium finishes, showcasing the reliability and precision of Sprint Filter’s air filtration solutions in the most demanding racing environments. Looking ahead to 2026, this partnership continues to grow, aligning Sprint Filter’s technical expertise with VR46’s pursuit of excellence.

Technology that drives performance

Sprint Filter’s advanced polyester air filter technology is engineered to ensure maximum airflow, superior filtration efficiency, and easy maintenance – all critical factors in MotoGP’s unforgiving competition. Trusted by professional riders and teams across the grid, these technical solutions translate racing performance into tangible results both on and off the track.

With its presence on Aprilia’s MotoGP machines and VR46’s Ducati Desmosedici GP bikes, Sprint Filter technology continues to contribute to seasonal successes and to the ongoing pursuit of podiums and championships.

Both Aprilia Racing and VR46 Racing Team partnerships reflect more than commercial agreements — they represent shared goals rooted in innovation, performance, and tenacity. For Sprint Filter, these collaborations are a testament to the brand’s relentless pursuit of engineering excellence and its integral role in shaping the future of motorsport performance.

As the 2026 MotoGP season unfolds, Sprint Filter stands ready to push the limits alongside its partners driving performance, celebrating victories, and elevating the sport’s technical standards.
