Version 3.0 of the NitroPulse intake platform introduces a modular velocity-stack set-up that lets riders switch between 38 mm, 45 mm, and 52 mm stack heights without removing the backing plate. The redesign centres on a cam-lock collar that secures each stack in 15 degrees of rotation, providing a tool-free change-over in under three minutes.
CFD analysis guided a new bell-mouth geometry that improves air-stream laminarity; in controlled bench tests the coefficient of discharge (Cd) rises from 0.78 to 0.82. On-road instrumentation across four donor bikes shows intake-air temperature drops of 4 °C at 110 km/h cruise compared with the previous open-filter set-up, contributing to marginally richer AFR targets under steady-state load.
Filter media moves to a dual-density synthetic matrix rated at 96 % efficiency down to 45 µm while maintaining service intervals of 15 000 km. For regions with heavy particulate, an optional pre-filter sock is now available. All kits ship with updated calibration tables for Bosch ME17 and Delphi MT05 ECUs; the tables are downloadable through the TorqueForge Flash utility (rev 1.6 or later).
The backing plate is CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminium with an anodised graphite finish; hardware is A2 stainless throughout. To curb packaging waste, stacks arrive nested, and the printed manual is replaced by a QR code linking to a multilingual PDF and video walk-through.
Version 3.0 is in global distribution channels now, with SKU suffix “-NP3”. Owners of earlier NitroPulse versions may purchase individual stack modules separately; these are backward-compatible provided the latest cam-lock collar is fitted.
