EXPORT Photos: Twin Air B.V. Gluing filters together is a precision task. It is done by specialised Twin Air ® employees. Whenever top performance is required, Twin Air ® filters impregnated with MOTOREX air filter oil let sufficient air through while keeping all the dirt out. TWIN AIR ® FILTERS: MORE AIR = MORE POWER Conventional paper or foam air filters tend to get clogged up when used off-road. That’s why, over 35 years ago, Twin Air® set out to develop special foam air filters. Today the Dutch company is the leading OEM for prestigious motorcycle makers. And it works closely with MOTOREX. many years ago to develop special cleaning and oiling products. As the demands placed on filter technology and filter fluids have grown, so the partnership between Twin Air® and MOTOREX has evolved into a winning combination over the years. Today MOTOREX’s RACING BIO DIRT REMOVER powder and brand-new RACING BIO LIQUID POWER filter oil not only deliver top performance, they are also biodegradable. KEEPING DUST AT BAY Using specially built test beds, Twin Air® can measure such important parameters as air flow, filter performance or water resistance. It uses a variety of materials in its filters. Even dirty filters still have to be able to protect engines against tiny particles and deliver the air flow rate demanded by manufacturers. Twin Air® can draw on both sophisticated test routines and its many years of experience in competitive motorsport when making these measurements. And speaking of motorsport, it would take several issues of this magazine just to list all the off-road teams that use Twin Air® products and the championship titles they have notched up. That being so, we’ll just say that the Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, KTM and Husqvarna factory teams all use Twin Air® filters on their engines. Twin Air ® does not just develop filters and test them on its own test beds, it also critically assesses filter oils.
