Default BMC Air Filters

Are these any good. I have done a bit of forum digging and they look the pic of the bunch.

Has anyone got any experience of these over stock?

Ive sold lots over the past few years, we use them on our race bikes and also customers bikes and they are very good. The road replacement filter flows only very slightly better than stock - stock flow very well. BUT the BMC is fully cleanable unlike the stock one.

The race fitment versions work very well but may require jetting/fueling changes.

Race will require rejet for sure.

Mine is race RS one (I think same as race with bigger hole), and it is on like 160 mains or something.

Washable, sound ace and add power. What more you need to know

Only thing is I probably would not bother unless I already had race system on.

The filters are listed on my website in the online shop. Org members get 10% discount if they add that they are a member along with their username to the more info box during checkout.

Carbed then work out at £48.57 for the road filter, £49.44 for the injected, inc postage.
