Parts and equipment for motorcycles, quads, scooters and bicycles
Why install aviation hoses?
Durit is originally a registered trademark, designating the reinforced rubber tip that became the hose we know today.
The word durite is therefore a francization that has entered everyday language in the same way as scotch, fridge or sopalin.
Are you wondering what is the use of installing aviation hoses on your quad or motorcycle?
An aviation hose, what is it for?
The hoses, there are several types: gasoline, oil, brake fluid, in everyday language these are all the pipes used to convey the precious fluids necessary for the proper functioning of your vehicle.
La aviation hose which interests us here is that of the braking circuit, which therefore ensures the connection between your master cylinder and your brake calipers.
And for sporty driving and the intensive use of our cars, conventional hoses tend to expand when they are overstressed. Harsh braking can cause the brake fluid temperature to rise significantly, causing par the same occasion a dilation of the hose and therefore a loss of pressure, which is felt at the level of the braking...
To overcome this defect, aeronautical engineers have developed a hose lined with metallic braiding, thus making the hose more rigid and therefore more resistant to pressure. The metal braid eliminates the deformation of the hose while maintaining a certain flexibility necessary for the operation of the braking circuit.
To sum up, the aviation hose has only advantages compared to a standard hose, not only do you gain in precision and braking power, but you also considerably extend the lifespan of your hoses. A multitude of brands exist on the market.
The advantages of the aviation hose
Appreciated by individuals, enthusiasts and sportsmen alike, the aviation hose offers a multitude of advantages forar compared to a rubber hose. In addition to being very resistant, it allows you to maintain optimal braking power and improves steering feel. Here are the 5 main advantages of the aviation hose for motorcycles and quads.
The aviation hose reduces the braking distance Although their performance is adequate, rubber brake hoses are particularly sensitive to wear. In addition to being vulnerable to external aggressions, they tend to soften and deform under hydraulic pressure. Automatically, some of the power is wasted by exerting said deformation.
Thanks to their design, aviation hoses cannot become deformed. Hydraulic power can thus be transferred without loss, allowing the full potential of the brake pads to be exploited.
With this hose, the steering feel is much better. By releasing the full potential of the brake pads, the aviation hose for motorcycles naturally improves the feeling when riding. It is for this reason that the equipment is sought after both par individuals, enthusiasts and professionals.
By replacing your rubber hoses par aviation hoses, you can immediately feel a better feeling by pressing the brake pedal or by squeezing the lever.
The aviation hose has a much longer life than the rubber hose. The main advantage of the aviation hose is its great resistance, and therefore its excellent durability. Designed with a Teflon hose covered with stainless steel braids, this hose is protected from external aggressions.
Where a rubber hose will show signs of wear fairly quickly, the aviation hose will allow you to maintain optimal performance, even after several years of use.
The mounting of the aviation hose can be done par a hobbyist. Contrary to some popular belief, it is not necessary to call on a mechanic to fit your aviation hose. Of course, fitting an aviation hose is not a trivial task: it is therefore important to rely on a quality guide, and to remain very focused during the installation.
Conclusion
Note that some manufacturers recommend changing the original brake lines every 3 years or 50 km. These are surely very prudent recommendations, but monitor their condition regularly if you ride very often. The original brake hoses are damaged by solar and lunar radiation, as well as by the thousands of deformations they undergo with each braking
It is more complicated to check the condition of its aviation hoses, but because of their many layers and ability not to deform, their wear is much less important than that of conventional hoses .
The only criticism of the aviation hose is its sometimes very high cost.
