After 4 years, Hope have updated the Tech 4 range, here's the new EVO!  Yeah, just EVO - not Tech 4 EVO.

With changes to both master cylinder and calipers, there's a good chunk more power if you want it - and 3 new lever shapes to choose from, so you can tweak to get the brakes running just how you like them.

There are 3 brakes in the EVO range.  All feature the new EVO master cylinder with updated cam, built in bleed port (yay!) additional piston guide bush and the option of 3 different lever shapes.  Brakes will come with the Standard lever, but there's now options to purchase either a Power or Control lever shape - to really fine tune the brakes to your preference!

This document explains the new lever options in full.

EVO GR4

- 4 piston downhill, Enduro and big-hitting ebike brake

- new larger pistons

- new large pad shape

- £240 with Black hose

- £250 with Braided hose

EVO TR4

- The all-round Trail option

- new larger pistons (just not quite as big as the GR4!)

- new larger pad shape (same as GR4)

- £225 with Black hose

- £235 with Braided hose

EVO X2

- Lightweight XC brake

- Post or flat mount versions

- £205 with Black hose

- £215 with Braided hose

All brakes will come fitted with the standard lever, with the Control or Power levers as an additional option.  We're awaiting confirmation from Hope, but expect these to be around the £30 mark.  

Hope will open the order book in August, with deliveries beginning in September for the first of these brakes.  

Until then - we've added a deposit product on the website - click here.  You can place an order for this to pay a deposit, we'll then contact you to confirm details on which model, colour and hose option you want.  That then gets you in the queue as soon as possible!
