Hope Tech 4 E4 Front Brake

The all new Tech 4 E4 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 E4 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.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- Choose either standard or braided hose (braided hose is an extra cost)- 30% pressure increase compared with the Tech 3 brake- Hinged clamp design to reduce weight and reservoir area increased to lower overall stack height.- Shifter integration has been improved and now offers 30° of angle adjustment as well as neater packaging and compatibility with the latest shifters. Lateral adjustment on both sides of the master cylinder is also possible to give a wide range of lever position options.- Hybrid-style pistons that allow smoother movement and require less maintenance, and a phenolic insert to manage heat transfer during extreme use.- The Tech 4 retains the tool-free bite point and reach adjustments from the Tech 3
