BMC 2018 + Honda CB 1000 R Replacement Air Filter

BMC Replacement Air Filter for Honda CB 1000 R (2018+) | FM01032

Boost airflow and performance on your 2018+ Honda CB 1000 R with the BMC FM01032 Replacement Air Filter. Washable, reusable, direct OEM drop-in fit.

Engineered directly from Formula 1 and MotoGP racing technology, the BMC Replacement Air Filter (Part No. FM01032) is designed specifically for the 2018+ Honda CB 1000 R. Built as a high-performance direct replacement for the factory paper filter, it drops seamlessly into the stock airbox without requiring any custom cutting, tuning, or modification to your motorcycle.

Constructed using BMC's signature "Full Moulding" system, the red polyurethane frame is manufactured in a single piece with zero welded joints to eliminate structural failure and ensure a perfect, airtight seal inside the airbox. The filtration element features multi-layered cotton gauze saturated with a low-viscosity oil, held between an epoxy-coated alloy mesh. This setup delivers up to 18.5% higher airflow than standard paper filters while trapping microscopic impurities as small as 7 microns (compared to 10 microns for original factory filters).

Best Uses

1. Daily Commuting & Street Riding: Keeps your inline-four engine breathing cleanly in polluted urban conditions while saving money on disposable OEM filters over time.
2. Performance Street Tuning: Complements aftermarket slip-on exhausts and ECU remaps by maximizing intake air volume.
3. Aggressive Track Days: Ensures smooth, high-rpm throttle response without sacrificing engine protection.
4. Long-Distance Touring: Durable, high-capacity filtration element holds up across variable weather conditions and extended miles.

Features

1. Full-Moulding Technology: Manufactured without welded joints to prevent rubber degradation, cracking, or failure.
2. Multi-Layer Oiled Cotton Gauze: Captures micro-particles down to 7 microns while allowing maximum air throughput.
3. Epoxy-Coated Alloy Mesh: Protects the cotton media from oxidation and fuel vapor exposure.
4. Direct OEM Fitment (FM01032): Precision-engineered to match the exact dimensions of the 2018+ CB 1000 R factory airbox.
5. Washable & Reusable: Designed to be cleaned and re-oiled with a BMC wash kit for the entire lifespan of the motorcycle.

Benefits

1. Increased Airflow & Efficiency: Delivers up to 18.5% more air volume to the intake than stock paper elements, enhancing engine efficiency.
2. Sharper Throttle Response: Improves mid-range pull and acceleration response across the rev band.
3. Superior Engine Protection: Provides tighter filtration (down to 7 microns) to prevent abrasive dust and debris from reaching cylinder walls.
4. Long-Term Cost Savings: Replaces disposable paper filters with a single lifetime unit, reducing long-term maintenance costs.
5. Enhanced Induction Sound: Produces a deeper, more aggressive intake tone when twisting the throttle.
