FunnelWeb Filters: Why We Run Them on Every Bike in the Family

An air filter might not be the most exciting part of a dirt bike, but it could be one of the most important.

After all, everything that makes power in an engine starts with it breathing clean air.

For David Hogan and the Always Moto team, FunnelWeb Filters have become a long-term part of that equation, with the Australian-made filters now being used across the bikes in the family, including the 2026 Yamaha WR250F supplied by Yamaha Motor Australia.

FunnelWeb’s design provides around twice the surface area of a conventional air filter, helping the filter continue to flow air effectively as it collects dust and debris.

That’s particularly important when riding in the dry and dusty conditions commonly found across Australia.

However, the benefit isn’t simply about performance.

It’s also about durability and maintenance.

A filter that can continue breathing effectively for longer means there is less time spent stopping to clean and replace filters, while still providing the protection an engine needs from dust and dirt.

Of course, regular air filter maintenance remains critical. Starting a race with a clean, correctly serviced filter is still good practice, and no filter should be treated as an excuse to neglect maintenance.

But for everyday riders, trail riders and anyone who occasionally lets their maintenance schedule slip a little, having a filter with greater dirt-holding capacity can provide an important additional safety margin.

FunnelWeb has a massive range of filters for most Dirtbikes. Hence, we use them in the entire family’s bikes. From the WR250F, to the YZ85 and YZ65!

The goal isn’t simply to make more power.

It’s about keeping the engine protected, maintaining airflow in dusty conditions, and potentially extending the useful life of the filter before it needs to be replaced.

In the latest Always Moto video, David Hogan explains why FunnelWeb Filters have become a staple in the family’s bike preparation and why he believes they’re one of the most worthwhile upgrades riders can make to their motorcycles.
