Material and Construction Quality

High Pressure Resistant Multilayer Structure

The Shimano SM-BH90-SS brake hose consists of three main interlocking layers:

• Inner Layer : Synthetic rubber-based, completely mineral oil-resistant, leak-proof surface. Transmits hydraulic pressure with zero loss.

• Middle Layer : High-strength braided synthetic fiber. Prevents the hose from inflating (ballooning) under internal pressure. Ensures a firm and crisp braking feel.

• Outer Layer : Black coating for protection against abrasion, moisture, and UV rays. Resistant to friction and impacts.

Connection Quality

The flat connecting pieces at both ends are made of steel. Thanks to the corrosion-resistant surface treatment, they will not rust and will provide a leak-proof seal for years. The connecting bolts are compatible with Shimano's standard 7mm hex wrench size.

What is a Straight-Straight Connection Type?

The SM-BH90-SS model, as the "SS" in its name suggests, has panels on both sides. straight link uses.

• Brake Lever Side : Straight connection, attaches directly and securely to the brake lever.

• Caliper Side : Straight connection, also connects directly to the brake caliper.

This design offers a more compact structure compared to banjo-type connections. While it lacks the rotating advantage of angled (banjo) connections, straight connections are just as robust and leak-proof. Shimano confidently uses this connection type even in its top-tier groups such as XTR and Deore XT.
