Brake Lines

Brake Lines for Optimal Braking Performance

Good brake lines are essential for reliable and powerful braking. They ensure that brake pressure is accurately transferred from the brake lever or brake pedal to the brake caliper. Worn or old lines can lead to a spongy feeling in the brakes and a longer braking distance - something you naturally want to avoid.

Types of Brake Lines

Brake lines are available in two main types:

• Rubber brake lines: standard on many motorcycles. Comfortable and affordable, but can expand slightly under pressure over time.
• Steel brake lines (stainless steel braided): provide a more direct braking feel and maintain their shape, even under intensive use. Ideal for sporty or demanding riding.

When to Replace Brake Lines?

Regularly check for hairline cracks, dry cracks, or leaks. If you notice a spongy feeling in the brakes or fading with repeated braking, replacement is recommended. For older motorcycles, consider switching directly to steel lines for a durable and crisp braking feel.

Installation and Maintenance

Installing brake lines requires precision. Pay close attention to the correct length, connections, and routing of the line. After installation, always bleed the brake system thoroughly and check for leaks. Only use brake fluid of the correct specification.
