Is it available for purchase? I certainly couldn't locate it. It would eliminate a major reason I won't consider hydraulic brakes

I got in touch with trp to get an update on that ...

The beauty of hydro lines is that you can bend them all around and not have to worry about linking a cable, like with mechanical brakes. It makes traveling very easy since you can wrap the handle bars around the frame (mostly) however you want.

What bike/bar/brake system are you thinking about where you would need to quick disconnect the hose while traveling?

Please let us know what you find out. I find this product interesting.

I have a cervelo p5x and a canyon ultimate both with sram etap.

If i was able to disconnect, it would just be easier to pack the bike, that is why i am looking for it.

Looks handy and clever.

But, on the down side:
- a big bulky connector, more suitable for gravel or commuting vs TT
- less simplicity
- and 2 more new points of potential failure ...

If you would like to see how this is done at a high level check out Staubli connectors. They are what you would use in an industrial or motorsports application. If you have ever seen the LeMans cars change an engine in a couple minutes these are the connectors that allow them to do that. Or an F1 team change out a caliper without re-bleeding it.

They are not inexpensive, but boy are they impressive.

SRAM and Shimano have similar technologies:
