Motorcycle brake hoses: differences between systems with ABS and without ABS

Tubi freno moto: differenze tra impianti con ABS e senza ABS

Choosing the right brake-clutch hoses is essential to improve the safety and response of your motorcycle's braking system. Whether you have a motorcycle with ABS, without ABS, or are looking for a racing upgrade with direct hoses , on Agmoto.com you will find the best solutions, including the prestigious Accossato brake and clutch hoses , synonymous with performance, reliability and style.

Difference between brake hoses with ABS and without ABS

  • Brake hoses for ABS systems follow a more complex path: they pass from the brake master cylinder to the ABS control unit , and from there to the calipers. This requires specific hose kits, shaped and connected for each model, in order to guarantee compatibility and safety.
  • Brake hoses without ABS , on the other hand, connect the master cylinder directly to the calipers , with a simpler and more linear system. They are ideal for older motorcycles or for those who prefer braking without electronic management.

What are straight brake hoses?

Direct brake hoses (or racing lines ) are used to bypass the ABS control unit , creating a direct connection between the lever and the calipers. This improves braking responsiveness, but deactivates the anti-lock braking system , which is why they are mainly used on the track or by expert users.

Pros and Cons of Direct Hoses

✅ Advantages:

  • More prompt and responsive braking
  • Improved lever sensitivity
  • Simplified and lighter system

❌ Disadvantages:

  • Loss of ABS support (not ideal on slippery surfaces)
  • Not always approved for road use
  • More technical assembly, requires expertise
