To be honest braided lines are braided lines no matter who manufactors them just make sure they have stainless steel fitments as the ali ones can crack.

If you cant feel the difference you aint braking hard enough whether on the track or road.

Hey, the main thread was closed and I didn't have my turn! The wink was to suggest my intention of it being a one liner.

IMO things like braided hoses should appear as nature intended. I think maybe a tint or clear with plain old stainless or silver banjos look the part and that the braid itself is nice to show off. If the coloured banjos are anodized they may fade in time too.

If im honest, i rode my bike back to back with a stock kitted bike and coulendt tell the difference in any way. Under race conditions then im sure there is a benefit. On the road though, naff all. Save your money.

Better pads and a good clean working system are the way to go.
Spose it depends on how bad your standards are - the minute I fitted braided it made the front end (forks) feel even worse than before but the brakes are definately sharper.

But then again had on nearly decade old original hoses so yeah.
