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 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 launched the R1 as a smaller sibling to the very popular R4 light, which we tested last year.

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.

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.

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.
