Competition Air Filter Racing Kawasaki ZX-10 R 2011-2015

This product is the result of one year of experimentation with the Ducati Althea Team who has raced the
2010 season with riders Carlos Checa and Shane Byrne, both riding the Ducati 1198 SBK.
This is a filter made of 4 layers of woven cotton soaked in a special oil and capable of retaining very small
impurities.
The special Lightech air filter is built in most cases with a closed mold system that determines a monolithic
structure, ensuring one can fully take advantage of the entire filter surface without pasting the filter
structure to the frame as other manufacturers are used to do.
The thin layer of polyurethane which runs along the perimeter of the filter panel is the result of high
pressure inside the mold during the manufacturing process, with which we can offer the maximum of
tightness of structure and reliability of the product over the time.
All the LighTech filters parts are designed with innovative CAD-CAM 3D systems, which allow to study the
development of the filter in relation to the amount of air required. The main goal of LighTech project is to
use the maximum of the filter surface: a fold of 20 mm is employed on our panel filters, against the fold of
15 mm. The amount of air passing through the LighTech air filter is increased of 25%.
In an area of 1 m² of filtering panel folded with pleats of 20 mm, we have a filtering power of 4700 liters of
air per second. If in the same area we use pleats of 15 mm, we reduce both the amount of filtering surface
and air filtered of 25%, this last one lowering at 3760 m2 / s!
The materials used are the best on the market: the plastic structure consists of a polyurethane patented for
its mechanical properties. The network is made of treated aluminium with epoxy resin to provide resistance
to vapor of gaseous fuels and lubricants, and the cotton undergoes a process of selection and control for
maximum filtration capacity.

• suitable for: Kawasaki ZX-10 R from 2011-2015

This Racing air filters are used worldwide from many successfully racing teams.
