stainless steel braided, brake and clutch
Stainless steel braided brake hoses have advantages over ordinary rubber hoses.
With rubber hoses, part of the brake pressure is lost because the hoses are literally pumped up. After all, there is at least 20 bar of pressure, depending on the vehicle and the situation, several times that. The stainless steel mesh prevents the hose from expanding, so the force is transmitted to the brake without loss.
Furthermore, the stainless steel braiding offers good protection against mechanical stresses such as chafing, stone chips and marten bites.
