VENHILL cables and hoses

Control cables and brake lines are much more complex - and a great deal more important - than many people realise. They are the essential link between a rider and his machine, directly transmitting his instructions to his bike at all speeds, in all conditions. Yet most riders barely give the cables and brake lines on their machines a moment’s thought.

It’s not surprising that we are pretty obsessional about controls. We have been making them for the last 35 years. We make cables, hydraulic lines and brake line fittings for bikes, quads, cars, karts and many other applications. It’s what we do.

We’ve tested and used our controls in the motorsport world for more than 35 years. We have a simple policy - we don’t pay people to use our products. We will provide their teams with the control cables, clutch, brake lines and the brake line fittings they need. We know that if we are chosen, it’s because we’re the best - not because they are paid to do so.

Brake lines are one of your bike’s most important components. They transmit braking force directly to the discs. Even a slight loss of pressure through standard, flexible rubber hoses means less braking force and feedback.

Rubber brake lines perish over time - they harden and crack. !at means they eventually
allow the absorbtion of water into the brake fluid. As the brake lines age, they will also allow expansion under pressure, reducing the efficiency of your brakes.

BRAIDED STEEL BRAKE LINES ELIMINATE EXPANSION AND WATER ABSORBTION AND WILL LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE BIKE.

We test all our brake lines to 1500psi - every single brake line that leaves our workshops.
Every 30 days we also test lines at random, pressurising them to 10,000psi. Your brakes are operating at around 25-30psi even under hard braking.

• Smooth bore DuPont Teflon hose - better heat resistance.
• Corrosion-free stainless steel overbraid - eliminates expansion so that all the braking
force is transmitted to the brake.
• Corrosion-free 303 stainless steel swivel unions - allows perfect stress free alignment of the lines during fitment to the bike. Direct swaged banjo fittings can be mis-aligned during manufacture leading to kinks and twists in the lines when fitted. In time this will stress the lines and could reduce efficiency.
• Dome-head banjo bolts - easier to work on cramped modern machines.
• PVC jacket - protects the braided hose and paintwork and you can choose from a range of colours.

• All brake line kits include fittings, banjo bolts, copper washers and installation guide.
• End fittings available in stainless steel or high quality chrome.
• Extensive range of fitments available.

If you need a non-standard fitment or your bike is not listed here, we have an extensive range hoses and fittings available to suit your application.

If there is no model-specific kit or you need replacement brake lines to pass a Ministry test, we can help...
!e Powerhose Plus dealer kit consists of a selection of hose lengths (all pre-manufactured with our stainless swivel unions at each end), fittings, banjo bolts and copper washers for use on brake and clutch lines.
Available with stainless steel or chrome fittings, all the brake lines included in the kit are TUV approved, manufactured and individually tested in our UK factory.

Select the hose length(s) required, fittings to suit, bolt together and fit to the bike. It couldn’t be simpler. We have also included a fitment guide detailing all the parts required for bike-specific kits in each kit.

• Supplied in a sturdy storage box
• TUV approved system
• Full fitment guide included
• Versatile system for brake and clutch applications.

Our Powerhose Plus off-road and motocross brakes lines are manufactured with the same
high quality materials and to the same standards as our road bike hose kit, providing a significant performance upgrade on standard equipment.

Featuring the same stainless braided teflon hose at the heart of the product, our off road
hoses also include:

• Rigid sections for fork leg mounting
• Protective boots at high impact areas
• Additional protection where necessary
• Swivel unions at end fittings for perfect fitment.
• Individually factory tested to 1500psi
• Available in a range of colours
• Used by top Motocross and Supermotard teams in UK and World championships

We’ve been making brake lines for off-road bikes for more than 30 years, so we pride ourselves on being able to supply braided brake lines for every make and year of off-road and motocross bike with hydraulic brakes as standard.
If you need a non standard fitment for your machine please get in touch to talk over your requirements.

We’ve been manufacturing and supplying cables for more than 30 yeras. In that time we’ve made cables for just about every off-road and classic motorcycle going.
But it’s a mistake to think all cables are the same, or that all manufacturers work to the same standards - they do not.

We have developed all our cables from OEM cables, so they are a performance upgrade giving far better durability, control and feel.
We can provide replacement control cables for almost any off-road or motocross bike - from classic Bultacos to the latest Yamaha 4-stroke machines. For a full list of fitments available please consult our full catalogue.

- marine-grade stainless steel inner wire for for strength and durability
- low friction Teflon liner, so our cables take far less effort to pull for greater control
- flatwound steel conduit gives strength and durability
- PVC jacket available in a range of colours
- ‘Bird-caging’ for strength (a special process that allows solder to penetrate the weave of the cable making the bond with the nipple much stronger)

All our cables are manufactured to ISO standards in our UK factory.

- MAKE UP YOUR OWN CABLES

If you need a non-standard cable, we can supply you with a universal cable kit. These are available for throttle and clutch applications and you can choose from kits that make a single cable to kits to make several cables.

For the workshop, we have put together a comprehensive kit for throttle and clutch applications and tucked it into a sturdy storage case. We’ve labeled each of the component compartments too so it’s easy to re-order the right one.

• All kits supplied with PVC coated flat-wound steel conduit
• Nylon liner supplied as standard
• High quality galvenised steel inner cable
• High quality machined brass/steel/aluminium components

We can also supply lined conduit and inner cable from the roll and quantities of individual
components - just give us a call for details. We can also supply nipple and ferrule/adjuster trade kits which contain large quantities of various nipples, ferrules and adjusters to cover a wide range of applications.

We even have a emergency cable repair kit designed to be kept under your seat or in your pannier. Should the worst happen and your cable snaps, the roadside repair kit contains enough throttle and clutch inner and solderless nipples to get you home.

All cable kits come with a wide range of components to suit most applications.
