Hi Kyle,
The Cura 4 brakes actually don't ship with the quick disconnect feature (it is an aftermarket upgrade) but I highlighted it in my teardown, with Jeff, of the Cura 2's when I reviewed them - here's a [**link**](https://nsmb.com/articles/formula-cura-brakes-teardown/).
It worked really well for me and is an especially nice addition if you're trying to move brakes around on different internally routed frames with tight entry/exit ports since the line doesn't need to be cut every time.
It's just like the quick fittings on an air compressor or garden hose just with an additional spring that acts as a failsafe. Remove the spring with a pic and then the pull back on the caliper fitting to pop the line off. Now I will say I've had fittings leak in both those applications so while I had zero issues with the feature it is an added complexity in an otherwise perfectly simple system.
