The DNA Filters motorcycle air filter for the Honda CB 500X features a multilayer, oil-impregnated cotton filter element. It is made with four layers of cotton sandwiched between two layers of wire mesh, and a polyurethane elastomer frame. The filter’s airflow is 73 CFM, compared with 54.1 CFM for the OEM filter—an increase of 35%.
Filtration efficiency is 98–99%. DNA FCd design technology allows the pleated filter to follow the contours of the airbox and, depending on the application, can increase the filtration area by 20–80%. The filter features EVA seals resistant to fuel, oil, and high temperatures.
