On In 60 Seconds

- The engineering minds at Rottweiler never stop, and for that reason removing the entire fuel tank to service the filter on your 1050/1090/1190/1290 Adventure is now a thing of the past! How does a 60 second trailside filter swap sound to you? Sounds like saving a lot of $$ on lost personal time or service bay maintenance bills to us.
Enter the SOLERA Intake System, our most advanced and thoughtfully engineered product ever built. Over 6 years of design innovation and creativity have culminated into a product that is destined to revolutionize KTM filter maintenance by allowing you to quickly and easily swap to a new filter in under 60 seconds anywhere you are. Put the days of removing 40+ bolts, 7 pieces of plastic, skid pans, fuel lines and the entire fuel tank to refresh your dirty intake system behind you. What the Sistine Chapel is to Michelangelo, the SOLERA intake is to Rottweiler Performance.
Add to all of that a generously sized and very dense Twin Air 90 PPI Triple Layer foam filter that has so much surface area you aren’t bound to clog it up anytime soon, but if you do, a quick 180 swap refreshes the leading face for a practically brand new application.
The SOLERA Intake System by Rottweiler Performance. A new era of solo maintenance and performance.
Damn that bikes sounds good!!!
Dang. That is fast. Does it seal as good as the older system?
Oh yeah, this thing is pretty bulletproof, but the user just needs to know how to install it properly and what to look for. That's pretty much true for anything really, but we have made sure it's a very solid design. We had a few in testing for the last year and a half and below is a transcript of a comment on Adventure Rider forum.
From a preproduction tester:
"I was fortunate to try out a pre-production version of this on my 1290. I traded out the original Rottweiler airbox that I had purchased for this and I rode it around the SW US, Baja, and mainland Mexico and never had no problems with it over about 20k miles. I'm not a pro rider, but I always travel with my partner, and I'm usually riding behind her, so I wind up eating a lot of dust. I think that looks like a gap because the filter is puffed out right after the point where it's compressed and is being stretched upward, if that makes sense. The foam lip underneath is fairly large (maybe a bit under an inch...it comes as close to the stacks as possible without interfering) and it does compress and seal well."
Rottweiler for the win
This has been a passion project for over 6 years that seemed like it would never happen, and now it has finally come to fruition through some hard work and dedication and we are very proud of this design. Thank you for your comment.
Is a re-map needed? I’m not gonna lie: I want one, but $650 is out of reach for me. Nice design though.
A remap is always a great thing in terms of power and performance, but is not mandatory on the big bikes as they are smart enough to compensate for the added air. They just have a target of 14:7 air fuel ratio which doesn’t make as much power as a target of 13:2. That’s about the long and the short of it. Totally understand on the price. This was a very expensive project to produce and it was either bring it to market at a price point that reflected the development costs, or not at all, and we felt that the riders who loved these bikes would see the value in the saved time and money when either doing the arduous work of removing the fuel tank themselves to service the filter or when paying a mechanic over and over. In that sense we feel that it pays for itself within 2-3 services.
@@RottweilerPerformanceso much saved time. And with it being easier, you’ll actually clean and change your filter more often, so the $650 you spend now can potentially save you thousands down the road, in maintenance and rebuild costs.
That’s how I’m selling it to my wife anyway.
@@CarveyKeitel Love that!! 🤣
@@RottweilerPerformance thanks wish me luck 😂🤣😂 jk. I’m buying that for my 1190.
