Cyclus Tools DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid

Cyclus Tools DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid

Upgrade your workshop or home garage with the Cyclus Tools DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid (100ml). Engineered in Europe specifically for high-stress hydraulic bicycle disc brakes, this premium synthetic fluid is formulated to handle the intense thermal loads of aggressive riding.

When pushing your bike to the absolute limit on steep descents, heat buildup can cause inferior fluids to boil, leading to vapor lock and a dangerous loss of stopping power. Cyclus Tools DOT 5.1 features an exceptionally high dry boiling point that actively prevents steam bubble formation. By maintaining absolute fluid density under high temperatures, it ensures your brake levers remain incredibly stiff, predictable, and responsive right when you need them most.

Key Advantages

• Anti-Vapor Lock Performance: Advanced synthetic chemistry prevents fluid boiling and harmful steam bubble formation, eliminating the "spongy lever" feel during continuous alpine downhills.

• Ultra-Low Viscosity Optimization: Flows effortlessly through modern, intricate hydraulic master cylinders and caliper internal ports for lightning-fast lever snapback and piston retraction.

• Superior Corrosion Inhibitors: Formulated to protect internal aluminum cylinders, steel components, and delicate rubber seals from premature wear and moisture corrosion.

• Convenient 100ml Workshop Size: The ideal volume for multiple full-system brake bleeds without leaving an excessive amount of leftover fluid to absorb atmospheric moisture on your shelf.

Technical Specifications

• Fluid Classification: Synthetic Glycol-Ether (DOT 5.1)

• Container Volume: 100 ml

Compatibility

• System Requirements: Engineered exclusively for high-performance hydraulic brake lines specifying DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1 fluids.

• Brake Line Match: Natively services all glycol-compatible configurations including SRAM Code, Level, Guide, G2, and legacy Avid assemblies.

• ⚠ CRITICAL SYSTEM RESTRICTION: Strictly incompatible with mineral-oil-based brakes (such as Shimano, Magura, or SRAM DB8/Maven platforms). Putting DOT fluid into a mineral oil brake will instantly destroy the internal seals and cause total brake failure.
