    • The hose, on the rear triangle or front fork of the bicycle complex routing requirements This allows for easy adaptation.

    • By connecting the hose directly to the caliper port at a clean angle. It minimizes bending and torsion stress.

  • Brake Lever End: Straight Connection. The hose is screwed directly onto the brake lever in the conventional manner, using an olive and a connector insert.

• Hose Rigidity: 5/5 - HIGH

  • This is Shimano's most rigid hose class. This ensures that the pressure applied to the brake lever, with minimum stretching and delay It means being transmitted to the caliper.

  • Benefit: A more direct and immediate brake response (lever feel) It provides a sharper and more precise feel of the brake pads contacting the disc when you squeeze the lever. This is vital for precise modulation, especially at high speeds and in technical situations.

• Length and Flexibility:

  • Length: 1700mm (1.7 meters). This, almost all full-suspension mountain bikes Suitable for use as a rear brake hose. Can also be used for the front brake on bicycles with long front forks.

  • Shortenable: YES. The hose is a special one. hose cutter It can be adjusted to the desired length using [method]. This way, your bicycle... with a complete and clean appearance It can be assembled, preventing excessive hose sagging.

🛠️ COMPATIBILITY and INSTALLATION
