Torque RT700

what happened to the RT700? I'm looking around and most sites have it listed as discontinued.

I just got off the phone with the Canadian supplier. Apparently they have gone out of business. I am quite disappointed by this. Now what?

Torque was having issues fulfilling orders a few months back. It's good stuff too bad they couldn't continue. A few sites online still have it available for sale however. I heard Project Mu G-four is an excellent brake fluid as well.

I heard Prospeed RS683 is believed to be the same product, relabeled.

Based on past and current studies, the experiences have been different.

Would you recommend the Prospeed for track use?

Like the Torque RT700, we advise discretion since everyone has a different threshold of what good brake fluid is. We also carry Project Mu, Winmax, and Motul brake fluids for good reason as well.
