Airbox Delete Kit - BMW R nineT

Empty Belly Airbox Delete Kit – BMW R nineT

Open the intake, lighten the look and elevate your R nineT

This airbox delete kit transforms your BMW R nineT by revealing a more refined, minimalist aesthetic under the tank. By adopting an open intake, you free visual space at the heart of the frame while promoting a more direct airflow to the engine. The result: a cohesive "Empty Belly" look and freer breathing for your machine.

Designed to suit all model years of the R nineT family (before R12), specifically the R nineT (roadster), R nineT Pure and R nineT Scrambler, this kit comes in two versions tailored to your throttle control: electronic throttle (ride-by-wire) or cable throttle. This ensures precise integration according to your bike’s generation for a clean, long-lasting install.

Beyond aesthetics, this kit is engineered for build quality and reliability. Dedicated mounting elements ensure a solid fit, while the performance-oriented design favors simplicity and efficiency. Ideal for a café racer, scrambler or any custom project aiming for a visually lighter bike center.

Why upgrade the stock part?

The stock R nineT airbox occupies a large area in the center of the frame, creating a visually massive block and a more tortuous intake path. For an aesthetic build and a more direct mechanical feel, many builders look to reduce this volume to gain visual coherence and intake simplicity.

• Bulky central volume and less aesthetic for a clean build

• Multiple air paths with large parts and ducts

• Difficult integration in certain café racer/scrambler projects

This airbox delete kit addresses these points by freeing space under the tank, simplifying the air path, and offering a clean integration according to your throttle control type (electronic or cable). You get a more elegant, cohesive bike ready to reveal its character.

Ideal use:

• Café racer builds seeking a clean line

• Scrambler projects aiming for a minimalist, functional aesthetic

• Riders wanting a lighter bike center and a cleared under-tank area

• Customization enthusiasts seeking a more direct intake

• Owners of R nineT, Pure or Scrambler, all model years
