DescriptionThe whole story▼
Reliable, fade-free braking starts with the fluid in the line. Bardahl XBF Racing Brake Fluid DOT4 delivers a dry boiling point of 328°C and a wet boiling point of 204°C — figures that keep vapour lock firmly off the table whether you are threading through city traffic or carrying hard speed into a track-day hairpin. At 500ml it is the ideal size for a full system flush or a top-up, offering genuine racing-grade performance at everyday-friendly value.
Key Features
- Dry boiling point of 328°C eliminates vapour bubble formation and maintains consistent pedal feel under sustained braking loads.
- Wet boiling point of 204°C sustains safety margins even after moisture absorption — critical for longer sessions or high-frequency road use.
- Silicon-free fully synthetic formula is precisely matched to modern carbon, ceramic and steel brake systems without compromising seals or hoses.
- DOT4-specification fluid is compatible with all current DOT3 and DOT4 brake circuits, covering a vast range of sport, superbike and track machines.
- Race-proven chemistry gives confidence that the same fluid trusted in competition protects your road or track bike every ride.
- 500ml volume — enough for a complete system flush on most motorcycles, with practical packaging for straightforward DIY servicing.
Performance You Can Feel Every Time You Brake
Brake fluid is the single most overlooked consumable on a performance motorcycle. Standard DOT4 fluids absorb moisture over time, steadily lowering their boiling point and introducing the risk of a spongy, unpredictable lever. Bardahl's XBF Racing formula uses a silicon-free synthetic base that resists moisture ingress and maintains its thermal ceiling far longer than conventional alternatives. The result is a firm, consistent lever feel from the first press of the brake to the last corner of the day.
Road and Track Versatility
XBF Racing is not a single-purpose fluid locked away for race weekends only. Its compatibility with carbon, ceramic and conventional steel brake components means it slots straight into the braking systems fitted to everything from a Yamaha R1 or Ducati Panigale to a Honda CBR 600 RR or Aprilia RSV4. On the road, the elevated wet boiling point provides an extra layer of protection against brake fade during alpine passes or spirited back-road riding. On track, the 328°C dry ceiling handles repeated hard stops without the pedal feel softening through a session.
