Kevlar hose compatibility confirmed.
Kaha brakes are fully compatible with 5mm diameter kevlar brake hoses — ideal for lightweight applications and upside-down forks.
Our standard titanium hose fittings work directly with kevlar hose and remain fully reusable, with no olives or consumable parts required.
The larger internal bore of kevlar hose slightly reduces hydraulic resistance, contributing to a lighter lever feel. Due to the hose construction, expansion is typically around 10–20% higher than our stainless braided hose, resulting in a slightly softer overall lever feel.
Specific hoses including Shimano BH90 and the Trickstuff Beta Kevlar Hose have been tested and provide the best results. We’ll also have our own high oressure kevlar hose option available on the website shortly.
