Hope Tech 4 Evo master cylinder features a redesigned cam mechanism, reducing the lever's free stroke while preserving the legendary progressiveness of Hope brakes. The result: a firmer bite point, followed by a smooth, perfectly controlled power increase for safe and modulated braking on the steepest descents. The kinematics are supported by a main pivot on bearings and additional guide bushings, ensuring smooth piston movement throughout the stroke.
Three lever options are available (Standard, Power, Control) to match your riding style: Standard (the default option fitted on Tech 4 Evo brakes) for optimal balance, Power for maximum mechanical leverage, and Control for a closer-to-bar feel. All levers feature a new textured surface for better grip and comfort and allow independent adjustment of reach and bite point.
