R1 and R2 hoses refer to types of hydraulic hoses that are defined by the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standards. An R1 hose is a single-wire braid hose, designed for lower pressure applications, while an R2 hose is a double-wire braid hose, which is reinforced for higher pressure applications. The additional wire layer in R2 hoses provides increased durability and pressure handling capacity compared to R1 hoses.
