I've read that the AUS KTM team don't run the OE Twin Air's but opt for the AUS Uni as it's designed to deal with the ultra fine dust we get down here. I live in the west, so sand is the problem we have, not the dust.

If you get up into the hills east of Perth, (Mundaring etc), in the summer, you get plenty of dust.
You know it's fine when it gets inside your goggles as you ride.

I use the Aus Uni filter.
But I probably won't next time.
$A57 is a straight up rip off IMHO.

As I said earlier, 2 Twin Air's for $18 in the closeouts.

Great price, you're lucky to have found it. I give the Twin Air 'two thumbs up'. On my commute today I noticed improved acceleration with it. Not a whole lot but deffinatlely enough to notice a difference. My old 'sponge' was obviously dirty too so a fresh filter was just what the doctor ordered. I encourage anyone who has done air box mods to ditch the stock filter if you haven't already done so.
