Motorcycle controls specialist Venhill will be presenting its expanded range of cable and hose kits at EICMA.
During 2019 the British manufacturer has focussed on developing kits for the current models of off-road bikes as well as popular ranges of road bikes that are more than three years old.
Operations Manager Martin Bradfield explained Venhill's strategy: "The off-road market is all about giving riders a competitive edge, so they buy the latest model and upgrade cables and hoses for performance and reliability.
"With road bikes, the market is changing. In the past owners would replace the rubber brake hoses on new bikes with braided steel lines. However, today the majority of new motorcycles are purchased using finance schemes and owners are unwilling to make changes.
"However, once a bike is over three years old, owners start to think about replacing worn out cables and hoses. We are also finding that older sports bikes are used widely in club racing and on track days, so we have been developing kits specifically for popular models in this bracket."
Additions to the range include the latest off-road bikes from KTM, Kawasaki and Yamaha as well as popular sports bikes such as the Kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja 2013-2019 and Yamaha R1 2015-2019.
All Venhill kits are designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment and are made in Venhill's ISO 9001 accredited factory in the UK, near London. Every brake line is tested to 1500 psi before leaving the factory and is approved to DOT and TÜV standards.
Cables are made using marine-grade stainless steel inner wire for minimum stretch and a low-friction PTFE liner for a smoother action, without the need for lubrication.
