PRO GUIDE Mastertube - 4.5 mm hyper-reinforced tube French distributor Sifam has a direct replacement for the 4 mm heavy duty inner tubes used in offroad competition - Mastertube is a 4.5 mm specialty British-made Powerhose Plus front and rear brake hose kits are now available for the 2017-2020 Yamaha YZF-R6 ABS. Venhill Engineering's Powerhose Plus braided brake lines feature a DuPont Teflon core, which is resistant to loss of shape through heat, delivering more efficient fluid flow to the inner tube. Its reinforced and grooved structure is said to give it "perfect homogeneity" when pressurised. The 4.5 mm section provides increased resistance in extreme conditions while maintaining comfort and simple mounting. Available in 21", 19" and 18", their white valve cap makes them distinctive, which, in addition to a "recognisable and unique aesthetic", incorporate a valve core tool - simple but effective.

All cases come in a choice two different finishes, natural aluminium and black painted. K'MISSION is sold in pairs and features include reduced weight, reduced waste of materials, fewer components and standardisation of rivets. Said to be ergonomic and practical, its lid integrates four comfortable and sturdy belt strap loops and can be opened completely thanks to a reinforced plastic frame that avoids the use of straps or retention cables. The transport handle is located in the lid's hinge. The two lower attachment points can be replaced, which in the side cases are intended to absorb vibrations. Dimensions of the K'MISSION are 43.4 x 24.8 x 53.8 cm. Optional accessories include a waterproof cargo calipers and increased braking force compared to the originals. Stainless steel braid is wrapped around the core to prevent pressure expansion, with a PVC jacket bonded on to keep water out and protect bodywork from scratches. Threaded swivel fittings enable the hose to be positioned with zero twist. Venhill machines its own banjo fittings and domeheaded banjo bolts to ensure proper fitment and a consistent, quality finish. All Venhill braided brake hoses exceed American DOT and German TÜV requirements, and, for further peace of mind, every hose that leaves the UK factory is pressure tested to 1,500 psi. Venhill Featherlight clutch and throttle cables are also available for the 2017-2020 YZF-R6 ABS.
