Motorcycle Brake Lines

That Don’t Flex Under Pressure

Stainless steel brake lines are the #1 recommended upgrade for any rider looking to improve braking performance. Unlike stock rubber lines, which can expand and break down over time, causing a spongy feel, GBrakes® steel brake lines maintain consistent hydraulic pressure. The result? Crisp, predictable lever feel and more confident braking, every ride. 

Proudly engineered, designed, and manufactured 100% in the USA.

Our stainless steel lines eliminate sponge, ballooning, and fade. Braided lines hold pressure under heat and abuse  whether you’re pushing late into corners or crawling up technical terrain.

Everyone is application-matched. Street. Dual-sport. You get the right length, the right fit, and zero guessing.

We offer:

Quality Materials

Every stainless-steel line is crafted using only DuPont virgin-grade PTFE inner cores, encased in a premium 64-strand stainless steel braid for unmatched durability and reliability. Our precision-machined fittings are among the best in the world — using the same high-spec hardware trusted by Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Ducati.

Style Options

Choose from a wide range of line colors ranging from clear, black, blue, green, gold, red, platinum, orange, yellow, white, and smoke. Banjo fittings are offered in black, silver, red, or blue to match your style.

Customization

We have out of the box solutions, but if you have a “special” project that requires attention to detail, we offer custom line services where we can build-to-spec. Visit our Custom Line Configurator for more details.

Extensive Line Kits

Each kit is made to ensure a hassle-free fit on your specific bike, whether ABS or non-ABS. Kits include:

  • All mounting components and hardware
  • Extra crush washers
  • Clearly labeled line ends
  • Prepositioned banjo fittings
  • Track-Tested Performance
Our lines have been proven under the harshest racing conditions and tested in-house by qualified and experienced riders

R & D and Support

Quality you can trust, help when you need it, live technicians waiting to assist when calling

Lifetime Warranty

This commitment to uncompromising quality is why every line kit of ours comes with a lifetime warranty, not because they’re cheap to replace, but because they’re built to last.

Brake Line Materials, Routing & What to Look For

They control the feel, timing, and consistency of every stop. The right one holds pressure. The wrong one turns lever travel into sponge.
Rubber vs Braided Motorcycle Brake Lines
Rubber vs Braided Motorcycle Brake Lines
  • Rubber motorcycle lines come stock on most bikes. They’re flexible and cheap to produce, but under load, especially when heated, they expand. That expansion delays pad engagement, softens feedback, and kills consistency. Over time, rubber lines degrade from inside out, especially when moisture enters the system.
  • Braided lines, typically stainless steel over PTFE (Teflon) core, don’t expand. They preserve lever pressure and drastically improve brake feel. You’ll feel the difference immediately: firmer lever, quicker response, and far better control under repeated braking.
Most performance bikes and track riders run braided lines for exactly that reason. They're also more resistant to abrasion, UV, and chemical wear.
Stainless Steel vs Kevlar vs Hybrid Construction
Stainless Steel vs Kevlar vs Hybrid Construction

Not all stainless steel brake lines are created equal. Core material matters:

  • PTFE (Teflon) core with stainless braid: Most common, best all-around pressure handling.
  • Kevlar brake lines: Lighter, less conductive to heat, but more sensitive to installation error.
  • Hybrid lines: Combine layered protection for racing or extreme weather use.
Fittings matter too. Always check for:
  • Zinc-coated or stainless steel banjo fittings
  • Crimped vs swaged ends
  • DOT compliance or racing spec
Inferior connectors or bad crimps = total brake failure.
Brake Line Routing: Front vs Rear

Front brake lines handle more pressure, especially under emergency braking. That’s why they often get dual lines or splitters. Rear lines manage balance and slow-speed control-but must stay smooth, kink-free, and away from heat zones like exhausts.
Always inspect for:

  • Line angle & banjo bolt alignment
  • Proper flex range on suspension travel
  • No rubbing against fairings, forks, or frame

Brake Line Kits vs Custom Builds

We offer both full line kits and custom lines for unique builds, bar swaps, and conversions. Whether you need extra length for risers or shortened lines for low bars, we’ve got the tools and specs to build it right. Even a simple bar swap can put dangerous stress on the line if not routed properly. That’s why every Gbrakes® line kit is pre-routed, pressure-tested, and backed by rider data.

Signs You Need New Rotors

Signs You Need New Lines

  • Lever feels soft or gets spongier after a few stops
  • Visible cracking or wear on outer sheathing
  • Fluid leaks at junctions or fittings
  • Braided layer fraying or rust at crimps
