The TB-1016 air filter will boost air flow in the 2016 Triumph Speed Triple models

There are few motorcycles in the world that elicit more raw excitement than the Triumph Speed Triple. The naked Triumph is the unbridled embodiment of the "streetfighter" label. The 2016 Speed Triple S and R models have at their core that sweet sounding 1050cc triple engine, which responds amazingly well to performance upgrades.

To get even more power-boosting airflow to that re-engineered Triumph power plant, K&N’s engineers have developed the TB-1016 air filter. The pleated cotton gauze filter media significantly increases the volume of air available to those three big cylinders. Simply put, more air equals the potential for better throttle response and overall power, and that means even more raw excitement from the Speed Triple.

The TB-1016 comes pre-oiled and ready to install in the Speed Triple

Making your Speed Triple breathe more freely does not mean that you have to compromise engine protection. In K&N’s carefully controlled and documented filtration testing, the TB-1016 achieved an estimated overall filtration efficiency of almost 97%. You can see all of the airflow and filtration data on the link on the TB-1016 product page.

A huge added benefit to installing the TB-1016 is that the filter element is fully washable and reusable. You will not need to buy another filter for your Speed Triple. All you need is the 99-5000 filter recharge kit to wash and re-oil the filter when it is time. The TB-1016 also comes with K&N’s 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty so you know it will survive the washing and reusing.

The TB-1016 is as easy to install as the stock paper element. The unit comes pre-oiled and ready to install with its application-specific base seal and sealing bead. You can find the K&N installation guide sheet, complete with photos, as a link on the product page.
