Protect Your Engine. Ride Harder. Worry Less.
If you ride in dust, sand, mud, or water, your factory air filter is fighting a losing battle. The Desertcraft Pre-Filter Kit adds a powerful first line of defense that captures contaminants before they reach your OEM filter—keeping your engine breathing cleaner, your maintenance lower, and your adventures longer.
Whether you're racing, exploring backcountry trails, or tackling deep mud, this kit is built to protect what matters most.
 
🚀 Why Riders Choose the Prefilter Kit
✔ Extends OEM air filter life by trapping dirt before it reaches your factory filter.
✔ Reduces maintenance time with fewer air filter inspections and cleanings.
✔ Helps prevent costly engine damage by reducing the chances of air box gasket leaks caused by repeated filter servicing.
✔ No performance loss. PPEI dyno testing confirmed the upgraded filter media delivers outstanding filtration with no significant airflow restriction.
✔ Trail-ready cleaning. The dry synthetic media requires no messy filter oil and can be cleaned quickly in the field.
✔ Simple installation. No air box modifications. No cutting the inner fender. Everything needed is included—including a foolproof template and step-by-step instructions.

* 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.
