Hope Tech 4 X2 Brake Lever/Calliper Black/Purple

The all-new Hope Tech 4 X2 Brake Lever/Calliper builds on 25+ years of experience designing and manufacturing hydraulic brake systems. The Tech 4 uses all new internal sealing for reduced friction and the pivot spins on roller bearings, allowing the spring rate to be reduced. The lower spring rate in turn gives a lighter lever action, reducing rider fatigue and keeping our legendary feel and modulation. Combine this with an updated X2 Postmount or Flatmount calliper for the best in class XC brake.Hope Tech 4 X2 Brake Lever/Calliper FeaturesIncreased power versus Tech 3Lever shape updated to provide a more ergonomic shape orientated to provide the best mechanical advantage during braking.Hinged clamp reducing weight and ergonomicsShifter integration improved for more adjustabilityTool-free bite point and reach adjustmentsRigid CNC'd one piece calliperCompatible with a wider range of current shifter optionsComplete brake available in Black, Purple, Red, Orange, Blue and SilverPostmount 9.74 calliperChoose either standard or braided hose (braided hose is an extra cost)30% pressure increase compared with the Tech 3 brakeThe hydraulic ratio improved by using a small diameter master cylinder boreMechanical ratio increase for the best balance of increased power and modulation, resulting in usable lever feel throughout the full range of reach and bite point adjustment. The mechanical ratio has been fine-tuned using real riding data to provide its best efficiency at lever forces typically used during riding.A linear relationship between brake pressure and lever force makes it easy and intuitive to control the braking power.Hinged clamp design to reduce weight and reservoir area increased to lower overall stack height. Shifter integration has been improved and now offers 30° of angle adjustment as well as neater packaging and compatibility with the latest shifters. Lateral adjustment on both sides of the master cylinder is also possible to give a wide range of lever position options.All Tech 4 brakes are supplied with new racing compound pads. They are designed to offer impressive performance straight out of the box with little bedding-in required, they are also more resistant to fade than standard organic pads.
