Proven multi layer foam technology
Pipercross use a triple layer foam construction rather than cotton or paper. Foam has a much higher capacity for filtration, so it maintains strong airflow for longer. The layered design works progressively to stop contaminants before they reach your engine:
- Outer layer coarse foam captures larger particles
- Middle layer medium foam traps the majority of particles
- Inner layer fine foam captures the remaining fine particles
Result: consistent airflow, excellent dust retention and sustained performance over time compared with thin cotton or paper elements stretched over V shaped frames.
