PRODUCT DETAILS
Hess Motorsports is proud to offer the 10-80 Dirt Sports Intake Kit
Talon Intake Pre-filter Kit
10-80 Complete Talon Intake Pre-filter Kit
Each kit includes:
(1) Intake tube, your choice of color
(1) Desertcraft Pre-filter
(1) Filterwears cover
The Talon has a horrible engine air intake location that inhales too much dust which shortens primary air filter life. In dusty conditions, you might get as few as 200 miles on an air filter before having to replace or clean a reusable aftermarket filter.
The filter comparison shown in photos is after 200 miles on the same days in the same trail conditions. The cleaner filter actually had 400 total miles on it.
So, 10-80 Dirt Sports has taken on the challenge to design and build our own Talon Intake Pre-filter Kit. Our intake kit is designed to capture cleaner, cooler air than the OEM intake and pre-filter that air to extend the life of the OEM or any aftermarket primary air filter you choose to run inside the OEM air box.
Dyno tests show zero loss in horsepower with this system versus the stock intake with both tests using an OEM primary filter.
Fits:
'19 – Current Talon 1000X/R, Fox & Fox Live Valve 2 and 4 seat models
Features and Benefits:
- New 3" OD, 0.125" wall CNC bent one-piece, lightweight aluminum intake system
- Primary air filter servicing is reduced while filter life is substantially extended
- Fewer checks of the air filter equal fewer chances of getting the air filter seal and air box seal misaligned which could lead to dirt ingestion and engine damage
- Cover plate conceals the new fender penetration for a clean look and securely braces the intake tube (a template is provided for cutting the fender hole)
- Compact system is not an eye sore
- Inner fender still fits in place after installation
- Does not interfere with a rear window
- Installation is simple and requires minimal tools
- Tube installs into the OEM air box inlet with OEM hose clamp. No new air box hole is required.
- Cover plate attaches to the fender with OEM fender screws. No additional hardware is required.

Desertcraft key features:
Desertcraft uses industrial quality, dry synthetic media with more open area than the primary filter for lower airflow restriction. These filters are USA-made high quality and will last a long time. This dry media filter uses no oil and includes easy cleaning instructions for reuse. Dyno tests show zero loss in horsepower with this system versus the stock intake with both tests using an OEM primary filter.
Filter wears cover key features:
- Reduces overall maintenance cost
- Extends filter service intervals
- Adds convenience
- Extends the life of any filter exposed or not.
- Keeps your high-performance filter free of debris, dirt, and water.
- Effective barrier for any particle bigger than .005"
- Highly resistant to puncture
- No reduction of functionality in freezing temperatures
- Hydrophobic fabric is standard (water-repellent)
- Handles heat up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit
Filter covers are treated with a hydrophobic finish designed to repel water. The water-repellent feature is extremely effective when driving through wet conditions such as rainstorms, mud, and puddles. (Please note: "water repellent" does not mean "waterproof.")
