So get started and find out everything you need to know about metal hoses for motorbikes in the SDT BRAKES.

Introduction to metal hoses for motorbikes

Metal hoses, also known as braided hoses, are made of stainless steel and are used to replace the original rubber hoses on a motorbike. These hoses are designed to withstand higher temperatures and pressures, making them ideal for high performance motorbikes. Metal hoses are also more durable than rubber hoses, which can crack and leak over time.

Using metal hoses on your motorbike has several advantages, including better brake performance, faster response time and increased durability. In addition, metal hoses are corrosion resistant and can withstand exposure to harsh environments, making them ideal for riding in all weather conditions.

Benefits of using metal hoses for motorbikes

One of the main benefits of metal hoses on your motorbike is improved brake performance. Metal hoses are less prone to swell under pressure, which means that brake fluid will travel more directly to the brake calipers. The result is a more responsive braking system and increased stopping power. It will change your braking feel and be more precise

Another advantage of metal hoses is their durability. Rubber hoses can crack and leak over time, which can lead to brake failure and other problems. Metal hoses, on the other hand, are designed to last the life of your bike and are resistant to corrosion and wear.

These hoses also offer a faster response time. Because they do not expand under pressure, brake fluid can move more quickly through the hoses, resulting in a more immediate response when the brakes are applied.

How to fit a metal hose to your motorbike

Installing a metal hose on your motorbike is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. Warning: if you find that you are not able to carry out the installation without endangering the integrity of your bike, it is better to take it to a professional! Here's how to do it:

1. Remove the old hose: Start by removing the old rubber hose from your bike. This may require removal of the brake caliper or other components.

2. Install the new hose: Slide the new metal hose over the fitting and secure it with a clamp or other fastener. Be sure to tighten the fitting securely to prevent leakage.

3. Bleed the brakes: Once the new hose is installed, you will need to bleed the brakes to remove air from the system. This will ensure that the brakes work properly.

Maintenance and Care of Metal Hoses

Metal brake lines require very little maintenance, but there are a few things you can do to make sure they last as long as possible. Here are a few tips:

1. Keep them clean - they can accumulate dirt and debris, which can cause them to wear out more quickly. Clean them regularly with a soft cloth and mild detergent.

2. Check for leaks: periodically check hoses for leaks or signs of wear. Replace hoses showing signs of deterioration or wear.

3. Inspect fittings: If metal hose fittings show signs of wear or damage, replace them.
