Bit noughties aren’t they? Brakes have improved so much now, I don’t really see the point.
Also heavier, so not very Enduro.
+1, ‘plastic’ hoses are usually braided now anyway with PTFE liner. The main reason to get goodridge or hel etc hoses was to get the better liners and braided outer back when hoses were made form re-enforced rubber (My MG midget for example has goodridge hoses). These days the stock plastic hoses are pretty good.
Braided hoses these days are biggest way to throw money at your bike for absolutely no improvement whatsoever, except for making the inevitably badly tarted up anodized mess of bike they happen to end up on look even worse.
+1, they kinda looked good, then they just looked tacky. I guess because bikes generally got lighter and parts tend to be carbon, or smoother forged shapes rather than square edged blocks of bare/anodised CNC’d metal.
