Many traditional hoses fail the ‘whip test’, which mimics the movement of the hose during normal use on a vehicle. Hoses are typically whip tested to destruction to determine durability, but must last for at least 35 hours to be certified.

In whip testing, four HEL Performance brake lines were removed from whip test apparatus after 40 hours, and were still fully intact. Two of the hoses were tested further – one for 70 hours, and another for 93 hours. Both remained intact – something the independent test centre had never experienced in over 20 years of testing.

This is testament to the research and design, and the quality of materials we use, in every HEL Performance product.

When we began making brake lines in the UK, all our competitors were selling reusable items. Not for long… we quickly changed the market.
