Set of brakes HOPE Tech 4 E4 | kevlar hose | silver-black

Brake lever

• the brake lever body is made on CNC machines from 2014 T6 aluminium alloy, which is used in aerospace
• ergonomic aluminium brake lever with a very soft step thanks to the roller bearings
• longer lever offers a 30% increase in power over the Tech 3 version and modulation or power delivery over a longer lever step range
• the end of the lever is equipped with small dimples at the end for firm contact between the gloved finger and the lever surface
• thanks to the "snap-on" handlebar sleeve, the profile is reduced and there are no protruding screws
• the lever can be combined with adapters for mounting the shifter directly on the brake lever sleeve with a 30° tilt
• the lever is specifically left or right handed and the correct model must be purchased for its positioning
• the lever can be removed from the handlebars without removing the grips or the shifter
• 9.5mm brake piston is sealed with 1x conical seal and 1x o-ring
• precision machined and tested hydraulic axial system using DOT 5.1 brake oil
• with the HOPE Tech 4 brake lever it is possible to adjust the distance of the lever from the handlebar and the lever step without the need for tools (by turning the wheels on the end lever)
• expansion tank cap, available in various colour combinations
• set screws for adjusting the lever pitch and distance can be purchased in different colour combinations

Brake caliper

• the caliper, like the lever, is made on CNC machines from 2014 T6 aluminium alloy, which is used in aviation
• the caliper is made from a single piece of CNC machined aluminium and there is no loss of power as with a split caliper
• The HOPE E4 caliper is a 4-piston caliper, i.e. it contains a set of 4 independent pistons
• The large 16mm pistons give the brake high performance in all situations
• the pistons are hybrid or made of smooth stainless steel and are filled with phenolic inserts to absorb the increased heat load
• the caliper is equipped with an expansion spring between the brake pads
• the pads are secured in the caliper by a locking screw
• the caliper is supplied with organic HOPE Race brake pads (green)
• this is a compound that has increased efficiency, long life and is faster to break in
• this is a version of the pads that is bonded into one via 2-pistons on each side
• WARNING: the pads must be run in before use, or the bed-in process must be carried out (repeated starting and smooth braking)
• swivel banjo brake hose connection, which allows the hose to be directed away from the caliper and towards the wheel
• post mount or PM mounting of the brake caliper
• M6 screws for mounting the caliper to the frame or fork (using an inbus wrench) are also included
• precision engineered and tested hydraulic system using DOT 5.1 brake oil

Hose

• the brake is supplied with a 5mm diameter kevlar hydraulic hose
• the length of the unshortened hose is 2000mm
• parts for shortening the hose to the required length are also included with each brake (1x hose barbed fitting / 1x hose olive / 1x copper seal)

Recomended disc rotor

• combine the brake with HOPE Floating, HOPE Standard brake discs
• Recommended discs are available in 140, 160, 180, 200, 203 and 220mm diameters

Weight

• the weight of the one brake is 343g (including the full length of hose, without disc and fixing M6 screws)
