Sprint Filter expands its Motorsport range with the new R272SF1-85 racing air filter, developed specifically for the Yamaha YZF-R9 and intended for exclusive racing use.
This air filter is the result of an intensive technical development program focused on optimizing airflow within the Yamaha YZF-R9 airbox — a platform designed for next-generation Supersport competition.
Racing development and World Supersport track validation
The Sprint Filter R272SF1-85 air filter was tested and validated by Team GMT94 during the 2025 World Supersport Championship season.
Continuous use under race conditions made it possible to conduct an in-depth analysis of the filter’s behavior through telemetry data, highlighting a tangible improvement in engine performance. The results confirmed the effectiveness of the intervention on the airbox’s internal aerodynamics, delivering a more stable, efficient airflow fully aligned with the requirements of a competition engine.
Airflow optimization and pressure loss reduction
At the core of the R272SF1-85 project lies the optimization of intake airflow. The filter has been engineered to work in synergy with the Yamaha YZF-R9 airbox geometry, reducing turbulence and pressure losses — critical factors in high-performance engines.
The outcome is improved cylinder filling, cleaner and more consistent throttle response, and a more efficient technical base for engine mapping and electronic management in racing applications.
P08 F1-85 fabric: the ultimate expression of Sprint Filter technology
The R272SF1-85 air filter is available exclusively with P08 F1-85 fabric, Sprint Filter’s solution dedicated to top-level Motorsport.
The P08 F1-85 fabric is designed to ensure:
- extremely high air permeability
- minimal pressure drop
- consistent performance over time
- reliability under extreme operating conditions
These features make it ideal for racing applications, where the absolute priority is measurable, repeatable performance with no compromises.
From World Supersport to professional racing
The Sprint Filter R272SF1-85 air filter represents a direct transfer of technology developed and validated in the World Supersport Championship to the professional racing world. This is not a product derived from road use, but a solution engineered with pure Motorsport criteria and proven on track.
