Courage to Change the Market
With established reputations and experience in the hydraulics market, Simon Lane and Chris Porter launched HEL Performance’s new approach to motorcycle brake lines. The rest is history…
HEL Performance’s market distinction was, and remains, simple: our brake line products have never competed directly with reusable ones. Our system – the first fully swaged brake line in the UK market – uses only stainless steel and titanium. We’ve always shunned mild steel or aluminum, as they invariably corrode. Sure, stainless steel fittings cost more to manufacture, and to buy. But for us, cost has never, and will never, be more important than quality. Or safety.
Since we introduced our swaged system, our competitors have followed suit because it makes so much more sense. This is great for the market, and merely qualifies our leadership in bringing tamper-evident, safer, permanently attached brake line fittings to the fore.
We’re glad we were brave – brakes are better now.

Quality over Compromise. Always.
HEL Performance was also the first in the industry to apply a PVC cover during hose manufacture to protect vehicle paintwork. Until then, covers were typically applied by heat-shrink, which not only meant a substandard finish, but also made it almost impossible to colour-match future lines accurately. Such a move meant significant investment and vastly expanded stock holding, but it secured the highest quality finish in the marketplace – and the reputation that comes with it.
Soon all our competitors replaced in-house heat shrinking with pre-covered hose. And when we decided to be the first manufacturer in the world to offer coloured stainless steel fittings instead of aluminium ones, we ruled out electrolytic corrosion in the lines. We simply didn’t think it was right to use aluminium if it meant potential brake line failure.
