Brake hose selection guide
Choosing a brake hose depends on compatibility with your hydraulic system and resistance to riding conditions.
Fitting compatibility is the first criterion to check. Motorcycle brake hoses often use specific standards such as the AN3 standard for fittings. Ensure that the banjo fitting diameter, for example 10 mm, exactly matches your vehicle's mounting points to guarantee a perfect seal.
The hose length must be adapted to your chassis geometry. Lengths typically range from 400 to 2400 mm. A hose that is too short can create dangerous tension, while a hose that is too long may rub against moving parts or the frame during suspension movement.
The hose material influences its durability and resistance. Braided stainless steel and Teflon solutions offer increased resistance to harsh conditions and thermal shocks compared to standard PVC tubes. These materials ensure smooth and reliable transmission without deformation under pressure.
Technical selection criteria
| Criterion | Selection advice |
|---|---|
| Fitting standard | Check the fitting standard (e.g., AN3) and the banjo fitting diameter (e.g., 10 mm) to ensure a seal with the calipers or master cylinder. |
| Hose length | Select a length between 400 and 2400 mm according to the exact distance between the mounting points of your motorcycle or mountain bike. |
| Hose material | Prefer Teflon and stainless steel for superior resistance to harsh conditions and smooth transmission, rather than PVC alone. |
| Type of use | Confirm that the hose is suitable for your main use: braking, hydraulic clutch, oil or suspension, as pressures vary. |
Frequently asked questions about brake hoses
Which vehicles can use these brake hoses?
These hoses are designed for hydraulic systems on motorcycles and mountain bikes, covering braking and clutch applications.
What is the difference between a PVC hose and a braided hose?
Braided stainless steel and Teflon hoses offer increased resistance to harsh conditions and better durability than standard PVC tubes.
How to choose the correct hose length?
The length must match the distance between the mounting points, with variable options from 400 to 2400 mm to suit each chassis.
Which fittings are included with the hose?
The kit usually includes 4 fittings to ensure connection to the mounting points of your hydraulic system.
