Hope Brake - Tech 4 - V4 - Black / Bronze

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

Please Note:
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. previous models. Key features include:
– Enhanced braking power over prior versions
– Ergonomically updated lever shape for optimal mechanical advantage
– Hinged clamp design that reduces weight and improves ergonomics
– Improved shifter integration for greater adjustability
– Tool-free bite point and reach adjustments for easy customization
– Hybrid piston design for smooth operation
– Compatibility with a wider range of current shifter options
Please note that the V4 caliper’s large piston design and mount position variations may limit compatibility with certain direct mount 180mm forks. For these applications, a 200mm rotor and the correct mount are recommended. Additionally, the V4 caliper is not compatible with the 2021 Commencal Supreme DH frame 200mm Direct Postmount. This brake system is a premium choice for riders seeking powerful, reliable, and finely tuned braking performance on demanding downhill terrain.
