Suzuki GSX-R owners can sharpen up their ride without blunting their budget, with a complete range of cable and hose upgrades from British motorcycle control specialist, Venhill.

A simple and inexpensive upgrade, Venhill’s high performance stainless steel braided Brake Hoses and Featherlight Cables improve braking performance, lighten up the clutch and fine-tune throttle operation – shaving years off the feel of older machines.

Experts in motorcycle controls since 1970, Venhill have developed a complete package for Suzuki’s long-running sports bike family – front and rear brake hose kits, clutch and throttle cables, as well as choke cables for certain models.

Made in Venhill’s UK factory and designed to replace the OE set-up without the need for any modifications, each hose features a heat-resistant PTFE ‘teflon’ core, with a consistent internal diameter and smooth bore for more efficient fluid flow and increased braking force. They exceed DOT and TUV standards, and each one is pressure-tested to 1500psi before leaving the factory.

Venhill’s Featherlight Cable kits are also made in the UK and will improve feel, control and reliability. Designed as a straight swap with the OE items, they feature marine-grade stainless steel inner wire for minimum stretch, a low-friction PTFE ‘teflon’ liner for a smoother action, and are ‘bird-caged’ for strength.

British motorcycle control specialists, Venhill, have developed comprehensive replacement Cable and Hose kits for Kawasaki’s popular supersports ZX-6R (ABS).

Made in Venhill’s UK factory and designed to replace the OE set-up without the need for any modifications, the Front and Rear Brake Hose kits are an easy way to upgrade braking performance.

Each hose features a PTFE ‘teflon’ core, which is resistant to heat, softening, expansion and loss of shape. Its consistent internal diameter and smooth bore deliver more efficient fluid flow, and increased braking force. Like all Venhill braided hoses they’re built to exceed DOT and TUV requirements, and are pressure tested to 1500psi before leaving the factory, for complete peace of mind.

Two Front Brake Hose Kits are produced; the five hose version uses the factory set-up and retails from £123.55 (including VAT). The three hose design replaces all OEM hoses and metal pipe, combining the lengths of the rubber hose and metal section into a kit, with master cylinder to modulator section, modulator to calliper and a calliper crossover. Prices start at £78.49.

Matching Rear Brake kits come in three and two hose options, prices from £78.49 and £53.78 respectively.

Clutch and Throttle Cable kits for the ZX-6R are also made in the UK and will improve feel, control and reliability.  Designed to fit exactly as the OE items do, both feature Venhill’s Featherlight marine-grade stainless steel inner wire for minimum stretch, and a low-friction PTFE ‘teflon’ liner, for a smoother action, without the need for lubrication.

Venhill ‘Bird-cage’ their cables, making the inner wire’s bond with the nipple much stronger, so they can withstand being put under repeated stress and pressure.

A pair of Throttle Cables retail at £31.81, while the replacement Clutch Cable sells for £22.98,  both including VAT. There’s even a Seat Lock Cable for the ZX-6R, retailing at £17.40 (pair).

British motorcycle control specialists Venhill have expanded their popular Powerhose Plus Dealer Kits to offer more choices of hose and fitting colours.

Ideal for professional and enthusiast workshops alike, there are now three kits available: one with Black fittings, a second with Chrome and a third with Stainless steel. Each comes with a choice of Clear, Carbon and Black Hose options.

Housed in a handy and durable toolbox, the kits come complete with 30 assorted hoses, ranging from 150mm to 725mm in length, plus a selection of fittings needed to cover a wide range of motorcycles, quads, scooters and/or specials. Additional fittings, hoses and banjos can be purchased separately as required.

Venhill manufacture Powerhose Plus lines in their UK factory and every one features a DuPont Teflon core, which offers much higher resistance to heat than cheaper alternatives. This prevents softening, expansion and loss of shape, and has a consistent internal diameter and smooth bore, for efficient fluid flow.

Venhill use marine grade stainless steel braid to wrap around the core, to prevent further pressure expansion and this is covered with a PVC jacket to protect against damage. Threaded swivel fittings allow the hose to be positioned with zero twist for an easy and fuss-free fit.

For complete peace of mind, all Venhill braided brake lines are built to exceed DOT and TUV requirements, and every hose that leaves the Venhill factory is pressure tested to 1500psi.

Prices for the new kits are as follows (all prices include VAT);

Powerhose Plus Chrome Fittings: £709.77
Powerhose Plus Black fittings: £709.77
Powerhose Plus Stainless fittings: £884.75

Upgrade the brake lines and control cables on the Yamaha Tracer 700 with these new kits from British manufacturer Venhill.

A direct swap for the factory-fitted versions, the Venhill Featherlight-specification throttle and clutch cables offer improved performance and durability, yet require less maintenance than the original equipment. Made in the UK using marine-grade stainless steel inner wire that runs through a teflon liner for minimum friction and light action, feel and control are enhanced, while pressure on the hands is reduced, especially in stop start traffic and during long rides.

Each cable is ‘bird-caged’ – a special process applied to the end of the inner cable wire, which allows solder to penetrate the weave of the cable, making the bond with the nipple much stronger. The teflon lining also removes the need for lubrication.

Venhill Powerhose Plus braided brake lines feature a DuPont® Teflon® core, which is resistant to heat, softening, expansion and loss of shape, delivering more efficient fluid flow to the callipers, and increased braking force compared to the originals. Stainless steel braid is wrapped around the core, to prevent further pressure expansion. All Venhill braided brake hoses exceed American DOT and German TUV requirements, and, for further peace of mind, every hose that leaves their UK factory is pressure tested to 1500psi.

Throttle cables retail at £36.77 the clutch cable costs £20.46. Prices for braided hose kits start at £78.49 (front) and £53.79 (rear). All are available in a choice of colours at no extra cost and prices include VAT. Call Venhill on 01306 885111 or visit www.venhill.co.uk for details.
