A popular upgrade with off-road competition riders since the 1970s,…

A one-stop shop for high quality British-made control cables and hydraulic hoses for off-roaders.  Motorcycle control specialists Venhill have updated their off-road catalogue for 2023, with hundreds of new cable and hose applications added to the must-have manual for dirt-bike riders. A one-stop shop for high quality hydraulic brake lines and control cables, Venhill’s catalogue covers the major names and specialist off-road brands - from AJP to Yamaha - and from classic twinshock motocross, trials and dirt bikes from the 1970s right through to the latest MY23 models. Additions for this year include Clutch Cable Kits for 1976-1986 models of Yamaha’s iconic Dakar-winning XT500; Rear Brake Hose Kits for the latest generation of Honda CRF450R, WE and RX; plus new Throttle Cable Kits for KTM and Husky two-strokes, including the 2021-2022 KTM SX 125, 150 and 250cc models, and the 2021-on Husqvarna TC125 and 250. Developed and precision made in their UK factory, Venhill control cables and hydraulic hoses are trusted by some of the World’s leading MX teams like World Champion Jacky Martens’ JM Honda Racing and Big Van World MTX Kawasaki.

Venhill’s Powerhose Plus brake lines feature a DuPont® Teflon® core for improved heat resistance, more efficient fluid flow and increased braking force. They’re wrapped in a marine-grade stainless braid and bonded PVC jacket for protection and use threaded swivel fittings for zero-twist positioning. Refined since their introduction in 1993, Venhill’s Featherlight clutch and throttle cables deliver improved performance and durability along with smoother action.Each one features marine-grade stainless steel inner wire and a 'teflon' PTFE liner for minimum friction and a lighter action.  They’re also ‘Bird-caged' – a special process applied to the end of the inner wire, which allows solder to penetrate the weave of the cable, making the bond with the nipple much stronger.

Venhill update Powerhose Plus Dealer Kits

British motorcycle control specialists Venhill have expanded their popular Powerhose Plus Dealer Kits to offer more choices of hose and fitting colours.

Ideal for professional and enthusiast workshops alike, there are now three kits available: one with Black fittings, a second with Chrome and a third with Stainless steel. Each comes with a choice of Clear, Carbon and Black Hose options.

Housed in a handy and durable toolbox, the kits come complete with 30 assorted hoses, ranging from 150mm to 725mm in length, plus a selection of fittings needed to cover a wide range of motorcycles, quads, scooters and/or specials. Additional fittings, hoses and banjos can be purchased separately as required.

Venhill manufacture Powerhose Plus lines in their UK factory and every one features a DuPont Teflon core, which offers much higher resistance to heat than cheaper alternatives. This prevents softening, expansion and loss of shape, and has a consistent internal diameter and smooth bore, for efficient fluid flow.

Venhill use marine grade stainless steel braid to wrap around the core, to prevent further pressure expansion and this is covered with a PVC jacket to protect against damage. Threaded swivel fittings allow the hose to be positioned with zero twist for an easy and fuss-free fit.

For complete peace of mind, all Venhill braided brake lines are built to exceed DOT and TUV requirements, and every hose that leaves the Venhill factory is pressure tested to 1500psi.

Retail prices for the new kits are as follows (all prices include VAT);

Powerehose Plus Chrome Fittings: £709.77

Powerehose Plus Black fittings: £709.77

Powerehose Plus Stainless fittings: £884.75

Venhill upgrade Tracer 700 controls

Upgrade the brake lines and control cables on the Yamaha Tracer 700 with these new kits from British manufacturer Venhill.  

A direct swap for the factory-fitted versions, the Venhill Featherlight-specification throttle and clutch cables offer improved performance and durability, yet require less maintenance than the original equipment. Made in the UK using marine-grade stainless steel inner wire that runs through a teflon liner for minimum friction and light action, feel and control are enhanced, while pressure on the hands is reduced, especially in stop start traffic and during long rides.

Each cable is ‘bird-caged’ – a special process applied to the end of the inner cable wire, which allows solder to penetrate the weave of the cable, making the bond with the nipple much stronger. The teflon lining also removes the need for lubrication.

Venhill Powerhose Plus braided brake lines feature a DuPont® Teflon® core, which is resistant to heat, softening, expansion and loss of shape, delivering more efficient fluid flow to the callipers, and increased braking force compared to the originals. Stainless steel braid is wrapped around the core, to prevent further pressure expansion. All Venhill braided brake hoses exceed American DOT and German TUV requirements, and, for further peace of mind, every hose that leaves their UK factory is pressure tested to 1500psi.

Throttle cables retail at £36.77 the clutch cable costs £20.46. Prices for braided hose kits start at £78.49 (front) and £53.79 (rear). All are available in a choice of colours at no extra cost and prices include VAT.

Upgrade Harley-Davidson Cables with Venhill

Harley-Davidson owners can now fit Venhill’s high quality cables to their ride, following the introduction of replacement throttle and clutch cable kits to their catalogue. 

All kits are universal, supplied with cables that are unfinished at one end, so that they can be cut to length.

All of the connections are designed to fasten securely without the need for soldering, so these are proper DIY kits for ‘home mechanics’, made to the high standard expected from Venhill.

The Dual Throttle and Idle cable kits [pictured below] come in both push-fit and threaded versions, to suit a wide range of models. Extra long – at 1350 mm / 53 inches – they allow for bikes fitted with high handlebars, and come with either 90° or 75° bends, in a choice of black or braided steel outers. The black cables have longitudinal conduit (not coiled) which won’t pinch on bends, so they won’t restrict cable movement.

The Clutch cable [pictured above] is also made extra long – at 2080 mm / 82 inches – and comes in black or braided steel finishes to match the throttle. Like all Venhill cables, they’re designed to deliver improved performance and durability, along with smoother action.

The Dual H-D Throttle and Idle Cable kits (push-fit and threaded) retail at £37.08 with a black outer and £61.80 in braided steel.

Clutch Cable Kits sell for £30.90 in Black and £52.52 with the braided steel outer. All quoted prices include VAT.
