Most OEM manufacturer recommend that you replace your rubber brake lines every 2 to 3 years. Why do the OEM’s recommend this? Over time OEM rubber lines deteriorate rapidly due to expansion and UV damage. This leads to increased braking distances and possible failure.
Spiegler brake lines are made using only the finest materials:
- Torsion Fitting System allows for 360 degree rotation of banjo fitting for correct alignment
- Tight weave stainless steel braid eliminates line swell, providing better performance and consistent feel
- DuPont™ Teflon® PTFE lining reduces line expansion and provides greater durability
- Crimp sleeves are high grade stainless steel offering better durability and longevity
- All lines are DOT approved, providing quality assurance and peace of mind
Testing and Research:
High-Pressure Test - Forces brake fluid into lines and fittings to measure the ability of Spiegler Brake Lines to exceed DOT standards.
Tensile Strength Test - Attempts to pull apart brake lines and fittings to measure the strength of our materials and construction. This test convinced us that we could lift a bike using just one brake line and fitting.
Whip Test - Spins a brake line and fitting for hours and hours to ensure its ability to withstand years of use on the road or the track.
