Malossi Red Sponge Performance Air Filter – Minarelli 50cc
Unleash cleaner airflow and enhanced engine protection with the Malossi Red Sponge Performance Air Filter (MPN: 1411412). A direct drop-in upgrade for your factory airbox, this open-cell polyurethane foam element replaces restrictive OEM paper or degraded foam filters — allowing a higher volume of clean air to reach your carburetor while trapping fine dust, sand, and debris.
Key Benefits
- Increased CFM Airflow: Open-cell foam structure minimizes intake restriction, sharpening throttle response and maximizing power across the rev range.
- Superior Engine Protection: Calibrated micro-pores capture fine particulate matter that standard filters pass, keeping cylinder walls safe.
- Washable & Reusable: Wash, dry, and re-oil with foam filter oil for long-lasting, repeatable performance.
- Airtight Airbox Fit: Precision-stamped perimeter seals inside the stock air filter enclosure, preventing unfiltered air bypass.
Specifications
- Filter Media: Open-cell polyurethane foam (Red)
- Placement: Internal OEM airbox enclosure
- MPN: 1411412 (Cross-ref: M1411412)
- SKU: M 141142
- Made in: Italy
Compatibility
Fits vehicles using the horizontal Minarelli 2-stroke 50cc engine or Minarelli-based clone layouts. Direct drop-in for the following models:
| Manufacturer | Models |
|---|---|
| Malaguti | Phantom F12 50cc (air-cooled & liquid-cooled variants) |
| Yamaha | Zuma 50 (2002–2011 “Bug Eye”) | Jog / Jog R 50 |
| Aprilia | SR50 (Minarelli-equipped) | SR50 Stealth |
| MBK / Other | Nitro 50 | Ovetto 50 | Mach G 50 |
Fitment Note: This filter is shaped exclusively for the original teardrop-style horizontal Minarelli OEM airbox. It will not fit aftermarket pod-style filters or vertical Minarelli setups (e.g., pre-2001 Zuma models).
Installation Tip
Always lightly coat the foam element with a dedicated tacky foam filter oil and squeeze out the excess before installing. Because this filter flows more air than the factory original, it may slightly lean out your fuel mixture — if your scooter bogs under full throttle, up-size your main jet by 2–5 sizes to match the improved airflow.
