Performance Brake Lines

Stainless steel performance brake lines

Stainless steel brake lines consist of a PTFE or also known as Teflon, inner line that carries the brake fluid, which is then covered with a layer of stainless steel woven braid. The PTFE tube is very resistant to expansion under pressure and will not degrade from exposure to brake fluid.

The braided stainless steel provides support for the PTFE and the weave is extremely durable against incidental impact and abrasion. Next the stainless braided hose is coated with a clear abrasion resistant PVC cover for maximum protection against chaffing and strain relief devices reinforce end fittings. A variety of end fittings are available to meet most application needs. All fittings are engineered for proper fit and durability. All necessary brackets and fasteners are included with each line kit.

• Performance benefits to any type of driving
• More strength and flexibility
• Firm and responsive pedal feedback
• Much longer lifespan
  
  

Performance brake lines for a durable solution

The inherent nature of braided brake lines means they offer an effective and durable solution that can fit into a hydraulic brake system. The ability for braided brake lines to combat expansion inside the hose means the efficiency and reliability of the overall brake system is improved.

The main benefit of braided brake lines is that they help improve performance by reducing the issue of swelling, most commonly associated with the standard rubber brake lines. Over time and extensive use, rubber lines can swell under the pressure caused by applying the brakes. Rubber as a material is durable but will eventually weaken due to this constant expansion. This means the rubber is basically stretching over time and consequently losing its ability to do its job efficiently. This can feel like the brakes are “soft” and don’t respond as quickly or sharply.

Particularly for those who are racing and need optimal performance on a track, braided stainless steel brake lines are without question, a worthwhile investment. Delivering high brake performance means more control and most likely, faster times. Having brakes that slowly weaken and become less efficient makes it much harder to effectively brake for corners or obstacles.
