The first of these layers is a durable internal Teflon core line, which works to deliver the brake fluid. Surrounding that is the braided stainless-steel sheath, which works to stop any swelling or deformation of the brake line when brakes are applied.

This sheath alone is less prone to damage than a traditional rubber hose, however Terrain Tamer have added a third outside plastic layer, which provides abrasion resistance and protects the stainless steel & Teflon layers from contaminants or damage from dust, dirt & grime.

Together these three layers act to extend the life of the braided brake lines and provide peace of mind for a part that commonly falls prey to a case of ‘out of sight, out of mind’ until a problem occurs.

High brake pressures can cause swelling in standard rubber brake hoses, and age and contaminants from rough 4WD environments can wear the rubber down or cause cracking and deterioration in the outer sheath.
