Buying a rear disc brake. Can someone explain what 650 refers to?

In what context?

hard to tell without the link, but might be the hose length (which sounds awfully short for a rear)

Short for a rear but if "Euro" stock then that could be the hose length for a left hand brake lever.

Probably hose length. Too long is better than too short.

A link would be handy. Or even a model number.

750 just about long enough for the front even though it's listed as L/H. Guess that's why they are reduced.....

Short as **** hose length, is it still worth it when you add the cost of a new hose.
