Talon Desertcraft Pre-filter Kit R2
476 Pre-filter Kits shipped in 2024!
The Brief:
Low profile pre-filter system extends OEM air filter life and reduces maintenance time. Less frequent OEM air filter checks mean lower chances of catastrophic gasket leaks at the air box cover and panel air filter. Installation uses common tools, is super simple, and dummy proof with the provided fender template and instructions. No modifications to the OEM air box are required for installation. Installation does not affect the inner fender.
The USA made Desertcraft pre-filter uses a dry synthetic filter media that requires no oil. This filter was chosen for easy field cleaning in dusty conditions. The filter media is a more open design than a primary filter and dyno tested (by PPEI) to not increase air flow restriction.
The USA made Filterwears cover blocks particles larger than 0.005” and water from reaching the pre-filter. I have personally run this filter cover with excellent protection results in terrible rain conditions.

(1) Desertcraft Pre-filter; non-oil synthetic filter media

* Notice about rear windows!
On Talon 2 seat models there is no issue with rear windows. The problem is with the Talon 4 seat models because the roll cage is a little higher and further back than the 2 seat models while the fender did not move. Poly rear windows are thin and should not present any installation problems. Glass rear windows are much thicker and may cause installation problems. The Tusk glass rear window works. The SuperATV glass rear window works but the pre-filter will contact the window. This can be corrected by adding a 90 or 45 degree coupler available from most local autoparts houses like Oreilly and Autozone. For more information please read this blog post HERE.

FAQs
1. Rain. The Filterwears brand cover does an excellent job of keeping water out of the air box. I have personally ridden in terrible monsoon rain conditions and only had a very tiny amount of water pass through the filter cover. I'm confident this will perform better than expected. Water will not affect the synthetic media Desertcraft filter.
2. Heavy dust conditions. If you are riding in heavy dust conditions, I recommend field cleaning the Desertcraft prefilter more frequently during the ride. This can be done by simply removing the prefilter and tapping it against your hand to knock loose captured dust and dirt.
