Yeah, I've just been through this. Yes you need the SRAM hose kit, the banjo is crimped on, you can't reuse it.
If they have hoses attached, you could do what I did and buy some TRP hose connectors and fit them inline somewhere along the hose and then add however much length of new hose on the other end. You will need several new olive and barb fittings for this but it's cheaper than SRAM hose.
Otherwise jagwire apparently do a compatible hose but I haven't tried it.

Thanks. It's seemingly impossible to find what I need in the country I live in, so I chose the obvious, sensible alternative and ordered a whole bunch of AXS parts instead as I happened to have some brand new Apex shifters (with cables) lying around.

At least I won't have to internally route a shift outer through my stupid carbon bars now. Clearly worth it...

What PhilDAS said. I was having a very similar issue with stock here in the UK, so bought some of those TRP hose couplers. They worked a charm but don't look very sexy (if that bothers you).

Go back to around page 350 if you're interested in the discussion we had on it here.
