Hope Technology Carbon Bar and AM/Freeride Stem
Hope has been pushing into new territory over the past few years, experimenting with new materials and new products. Not only have they got their heads around carbon manufacturing, but also they've made entire bikes from it, and all this designed, tested and manufactured in Barnoldswick, UK. As well as bike creation, they've been busy making their carbon handlebars, which...
Hope Technology Tech 3 E4 Brakes
When it comes to high-powered brakes, Hope has to be in the mix. Having been involved in disc brakes since the very beginning, they obviously know their stuff, proven by the legions of fans that will have nothing else on their bike. Looking like they've come straight from a lump of metal (because they have), the E4s represent Hopes top...
Hope Technology Enduro – Pro 4
Purveyors of fine quality British engineering, Hope have been at the forefront of component manufacturing for what seems like forever. Having developed an almost legendary reputation in the bike industry, they represent durability and reliability to the core, alongside an 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' mentality towards product development. For many years now the Pro II hubs have...
Hope Technology F20 Flat Pedals
The F20 has been around for a while now, in a typical Hope 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' style. True to form these pedals are CNC machined out of a good solid lump of aluminium giving a ridged finish with a slightly concave shape to the body. The pedals run on three cartridge bearings and one bush all...
Hope Technology R4+ LED
Hope needs no , renowned for high-quality engineering and manufacture; they have been making lights alongside all their other products for many years. The R4+ represents the latest version of their 2000 lumen (1500 measured) light. The light unit is a beautifully machined piece, with 4 Cree LEDs held within a solid and fantastically detailed case, with etched logos, plenty...
Hope Technology Vision R1
Hope launched the R1 as a smaller sibling to the very popular R4 light, which we tested last year. The R4 boast an impressive 1000 lumen output and the R1 comes in at 500 lumens with a 2 cell instead of a 4-cell battery. It’s smaller and lighter than the R4, and comes with bar, helmet and a head mount...
Hope Technology Vision R4
The R4 from Hope has been around for a year or so now, and has had plenty of time to prove itself in the field and out on the trails. There are, as ever, many happy customers and, as fans of the previous incarnation, we were keen to see how the Vision R4 performed. First up, it is tiny in...
Hope Technology Pro 2 on Mavic 721 Wheelset
Weight: 987g Front 1114g Rear Wheels take a battering at these kinds of events; a solid week of blasting downhill over tough and rocky conditions means plenty of wear and tear. The Hopes appealed for a few reasons, low maintenance and durability being the main ones. We opted for the standard Pro 2 Hub built onto Mavic 721 rims; these...
Hope Technology Tech M4
Weight: 279 Grams (caliper, lever and standard hose front brake) The Tech M4 has been around for a little while and it has plenty of time in the field. Initial doubts about the fragility of the lever have proved unfounded and as usual the brakes are living up to the usual Hope standards of quality. Out of the box there...
Hope Technology V2 Brakes
Weight: 615g (full brake with 180mm rotor, braided hose and all bolts and fittings) The new Tech V2 is the strongest and most powerful brake Hope have in their line up at the moment. While it might not be the lightest bit of aluminium on the market, it is certainly one of the beefiest. We opted for the braided hose...
Hope Technology Vision 4
One thing you know you will get with a Hope product is quality, and with the Vision series of lights that is ever present; neatly packaged and beautifully machined the Hope Vision 4 really is one of the daddies in the lighting business. This light has 4 stationary beam settings and an additional flash setting. The static settings: low, medium,...
