Hope New Release: The 20 mm Gravity Stem Has Arrived at Purebike!

Purebike Analysis: Why Switch to an Ultra-Short 20 mm Cockpit with Hope?

At Purebike, we closely monitor technical developments that shape mountain biking. The latest announcement from Barnoldswick, England immediately caught our attention: the arrival of an ultra-short 20 mm option in the renowned Gravity series by Hope.

The Cockpit: The Cornerstone of Modern MTBs

In recent years, frame geometries for Enduro, DH, and E-Bikes have evolved significantly: reach has grown longer and head tube angles have slacked out. While these changes provide excellent high-speed stability, they require adjustments to hand placement to keep the bike agile through tight twisty trails.

This is where a minimal reach distance makes all the difference. By bringing the handlebar as close as possible to the steerer tube, you alter the steering leverage:

  • Instant Reactivity: Directional changes become sharper in tight turns.
  • Balanced Posture: You regain a more natural position over the bottom bracket without overextending your upper body.
  • Control in Steep Terrain: More direct weight placement over the front end to maintain cornering grip without getting deflected by rough bumps.

British Craftsmanship Serving Precision

True to its heritage, the brand designs and manufactures its components in the UK, using precision CNC machining on a high-grade aluminium alloy selected for its superior mechanical strength.

To meet the current demands of modern riders:

  • The range supports both standard 31.8 mm handlebar clamp diameters and reinforced 35 mm setups.
  • The package includes the matching top cap and clamping bolt.
  • The lineup features 7 anodised colour options (Black, Silver, Smoke, Blue, Red, Orange, and Purple).
