Bronco OEM‑Style 1‑Stage Foam Air Filter for Arctic Cat Wildcat / Wildcat XX (2012‑2025) & Textron Models

OVERVIEW

The Bronco OEM‑Style Air Filter delivers dependable dirt and dust filtration to protect sensitive engine internals from premature wear. This direct‑fit replacement utilizes a robust 1‑stage foam matrix engineered to admit maximum volume air while blocking abrasive particulates. Built specifically for Arctic Cat and Textron side‑by‑side platforms, it slots directly into the factory housing without requiring modifications.

ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

The single‑layer foam element reduces restriction to maintain consistent airflow through the carburetor or throttle body during aggressive throttle application. Dense polymer fibers absorb road vibration and resist compression fatigue, extending service intervals between cleanings. Matched precisely to original housing tolerances, the filter maintains a secure perimeter seal that eliminates unmetered air infiltration and keeps fuel-trim stability intact.
