Silicone Hose KitsEazi-Grip Racing Products Silicone hose kits are a direct replacement for the OEM rubber hoses, offering a longer life and higher temperature and pressure ratings than the original rubber-based hoses. Silicone hoses are normally used in racing motorcycles where extremes of temperature occur, to avoid failure at critical moments. Eazi-Grip hoses are guaranteed for life when used with Eazi-Grip hose clamps. Features
Why use Silicone Hoses?AgeingRubber hoses become hard and brittle with age: silicone hoses retain their flexibility and strength. Easier to work withRubber hoses are stiffer and can bond with the metal joints making them harder to remove and increasing the possibility of damage at a critical moment. Silicone hoses will not “stick” to radiator pipes. Chemical resistanceSilicone hoses have better resistance to chemical damage such as coolants, brake fluid or aggressive cleaning products. Noise/vibrationSilicone does not vibrate at the same frequency as rubber and does not transmit vibrations (noise) to the same extent, resulting in a quieter engine. Weather resistanceSilicone will withstand extremes of temperature far better than rubber hoses, recommended for extreme climates both hot and cold! AestheticsA coloured silicone hose with a gloss finish looks far better than the original dull matt black hose!
