Steel flex brake lines: What you need to know

Steel braided brake lines are one of the best investments you can make to improve your vehicle. These special cables consist of a flexible interior that is covered with a robust steel mesh. 

This construction ensures exceptional durability and resistance to external influences such as stone chips and hydraulic fluids. Unlike traditional plastic brake hoses, which can give in and expand over time, steel braided hoses provide consistent performance and a precise pressure point.

The use of steel braided brake lines improves braking performance as they transmit the pressure directly and without delay to the brakes. This leads to a faster response and an overall higher efficiency of the braking system. This advantage is indispensable, especially in stressful situations on the racetrack or when driving sportily on the road. 

Vehicles such as VW, vans and flatbed trucks, which are often exposed to high loads, benefit enormously from the additional reliability and performance.

Maximum braking performance and precision

Now that we have highlighted the basic advantages of steel braided brake lines, let us now take a closer look at how they contribute to maximum braking performance and precision.

Improved pressure point and control

A crucial factor is the improved pressure point and increased control you experience through the use of steel braided lines. Instead of a soft and spongy brake pedal response, as is often the case with conventional brake hoses, a steel braided brake line offers you direct transmission of brake pressure. 

This allows you to dose more precisely and react more quickly, which is particularly important in critical driving situations.

Greater resistance to stone chips and hydraulic fluids

The increased resistance to stone chips and hydraulic fluids is another important aspect that contributes to maximum braking performance. Stahlflex brake lines are extremely robust and can withstand the stresses of road traffic and on the race track. 

This means the integrity of the braking system is maintained even under extreme conditions, giving you an additional level of safety. You can rely on your brakes to work reliably even in demanding situations and to give you the necessary control over your vehicle.

Longevity thanks to high-quality steel mesh

Longevity thanks to high-quality steel braided cables is another important factor for lasting braking performance and precision. In contrast to conventional brake hoses, which can become porous over time and lose performance, steel braided hoses maintain their quality over a long period of time. 

You can rely on the brakes to perform as well as they did on the first day, even after intensive use. This not only saves time and money on regular maintenance, but also gives you peace of mind that the vehicle will always function optimally.

Areas of application and advantages for different vehicle types

To take your vehicles to the next level, it's important to choose the right components that meet your individual needs. Steel braided brake lines are one such component that is versatile and offers clear advantages for various vehicle types such as VW, flatbed trucks and heavy commercial vehicles.

Optimal performance on the race track

For all of you who like to drive your vehicles on the race track, steel flex brake lines are an absolute must-have. The demands on the braking system on the race track are extremely high, and this is where the advantages of steel braided lines come into their own. 

Thanks to the improved braking performance and precision, you can improve your lap times and get the most out of your vehicle. The increased resistance to stone chips and hydraulic fluids also ensures that your braking system works reliably even under the harshest conditions.

Improvements for road vehicles and vans

But steel flex cables also offer clear advantages for use on public roads. By directly transmitting the brake pressure, you experience more precise driving behavior and can react more quickly in critical situations. 

A reliable braking system is essential, especially for heavy vans and commercial vehicles, to ensure safety and control. With steel braided cables you can also use these advantages in your everyday vehicles and enjoy the highest level of safety.

With our high-quality steel braided brake lines from Epytec, you have the opportunity to take your vehicle to the next level and benefit from the numerous advantages of these components.
