Hope Brake - Tech 4 - V4 - Black / Red

Our hard hitting downhill brake

The all new Tech 4 V4 builds on our 25+ years 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. The updated V4 caliper utilises hybrid style Stainless steel pistons with a phenolic insert allowing for smoother movement and less maintenance, while still able to manage high temperatures without heat transfer during extreme use.

Key Features:

– Increased power versus Tech 3
– Lever shape updated to provide a more ergonomic shape orientated to provide the best mechanical advantage during braking.
– Hinged clamp reducing weight and ergonomics
– Shifter integration improved for more adjustability
– Tool free bite point and reach adjustments
– Hybrid piston design
– Rigid CNC’d one piece caliper
– Compatible with a wider range of current shifter options

The V4 caliper is not compatible with all direct mount 180mm forks due to the large piston design and variation in mount positions. We recommend running the V4 caliper with the correct mount and a 200mm rotor in this application.
The V4 caliper is also not compatible with the 2021 Commencal Supreme DH frame 200mm Direct Postmount. conditions, ensuring consistent performance on demanding descents. Key Features: – Enhanced braking power compared to previous models – Ergonomically updated lever shape for optimal mechanical advantage – Hinged clamp design that reduces weight and improves ergonomics – Improved shifter integration offering greater adjustability – Tool-free bite point and reach adjustments for quick customization – Rigid CNC-machined one-piece caliper construction for durability – Compatibility with a broader range of current shifter options Please Note: The V4 caliper’s large piston design and mount position variations make it incompatible with some direct mount 180mm forks. For these applications, a correct mount paired with a 200mm rotor is recommended. Additionally, the V4 caliper does not fit the 2021 Commencal Supreme DH frame with a 200mm Direct Postmount. This premium brake system delivers superior power, precision, and reliability, making it an ideal choice for riders seeking top-tier performance on challenging downhill terrain.
