Most silicone hose companies have been offering a black ‘classic’ hoses for some time now, but we here at Viper have never been quite happy with the products on the market.

Up until now manufacturers have produced the matte black look by adding chalk. Not ideal. You can see it and feel it when you examine the hoses, so we set about offering a better quality ‘classic’ hose and now we’ve come up with a way to do it….

We take our usual gloss black silicone and treat the outside of the hose with a special process to achieve a finish that is undistinguishable from the original rubber hose, but it has all the advantages of a top quality, modern silicone hose. It’s matte black – and it will stay that way!  The process doesn’t degrade the silicone either, so Viper Classic Hoses will not crack, expand, or shrink over time. Ideal for classics due to spend the winter months in the garage. This process is exclusive to Viper – No other silicone hose company offers anything like this!

Note: Because this is an additional process the manufacturing time is longer and therefore we do not hold this option in stock, but you can order it on any of the hoses in our range. Also Viper’s Matt Black ‘Rubber-Look’ hoses are supplied unbranded to maintain the original ‘Rubber-Look’ on classic and historic cars.
