The BMC Air Filter FM01148 for TVS Apache RTR 160 and RTR 200 is a premium high-performance replacement air filter designed to improve engine airflow, throttle response, and overall combustion efficiency. Manufactured by BMC (Brakes Motorcycles Components), this direct-fit panel filter is engineered as an upgrade over the stock OEM air filter while maintaining perfect fitment inside the original airbox.
Constructed using multi-layer oiled cotton gauze supported by an epoxy-coated aluminum mesh, the filter allows significantly higher airflow compared to standard paper filters while still maintaining excellent filtration efficiency. This helps improve engine breathing, resulting in smoother acceleration, better throttle response, and consistent performance under both city and highway riding conditions.
The FM01148 is a washable and reusable performance filter, making it a long-term upgrade that reduces replacement frequency and maintenance costs. With proper cleaning and re-oiling, it can be reused multiple times without performance loss.
Its precision-molded rubber frame ensures a perfect seal inside the airbox, preventing dust bypass and ensuring engine protection even in demanding riding environments. The direct OEM-fit design allows simple installation without any modifications.
