The fluid in braking system runs from the master cylinder to the brakes themselves mainly via rigid metal pipes. But there needs to be some flexibility in the system to allow the wheels to move in relation to body of the vehicle, whether for the purposes of steering or suspension. This is provided by fitting flexible brake hoses. Inflexible tubes would not allow for the articulation of the wheel ends without subsequent failure, hence use of flexible brake hose becomes important.
