Goodridge Motorcycle Brake Hose Guide
What is the difference between Standard, Hop-over and Race brake lines?
Race layouts are required by the ACU for twin caliper front brakes. Their regulations state that brake hoses should not be routed over the wheel, and specify that the lines must be joined above the top yoke. Our kits with ‘Race’ in the description have two lines from a double banjo at the master cylinder, with each line running to each caliper.
Standard (AKA Three Line) layouts are standard on many European bikes. One line from the master cylinder to a ‘T’ piece, and then a line to each caliper. Generally, we offer what was standard on the bike and the alternative of a race option.
Hop-over layouts have a line from the master cylinder to caliper, and a second line running from this caliper crossing over the mudguard to the other caliper. Many Japanese bikes have this layout as standard.
