Motul RBF 600 racing brake fluid 1.5 Litres
£37

Motul RBF 600 factory line brake fluid is a 100% synthetic brake fluid particularly suitable for the demands of racing and for those who require a high performance brake fluid. The high performance DOT 4 brake fluid is particularly suitable for race application and exceeds the DOT 5.1 and DOT 3 standards. The very high dry and wet boiling point of RBF 600 is far better than Dot 5.1 brake fluids and enables effective braking even under extreme conditions. RBF 600 brake fluid is suitable for all types of hydraulic actuated brake and clutch systems requiring a non silicone fluid.
