. Don’t overestimate your technical capacities. This brake system must be fitted
by a competent cycle mechanic using the correct tools. Incorrect installation
could result in brake failure that could cause serious or fatal injuries.
. Please refer to the website videos and technical documents for more informa-
tion
including servicing and maintenance - www.hopetech.com / Tech support
section.
The video logo indicates you can find some useful tips on the website
. This brake system has been designed to be used only on two-wheel vehicles
with human propulsion. Any other application is not advisable and could result
in the failure of this product.
. Your brake system will generate heat during braking. Never touch either the
disc or caliper after long braking period as this could cause severe burns.
. Before each ride always check the brake for proper function, the brake pad for
wear and that there is no system damage resulting in fluid leaks.
. It’s common sense to also check that your wheel’s quick release systems are
securely installed and tightened.
. Your braking performance will improve in almost all conditions. Please take
time to become familiar with your new brake. Always ride within your own
ability.
. Brake pad contaminated with brake fluid, chain lubricant or unsuitable bike
cleaner will need replacing because the overall brake performance will be
greatly diminished.
. If you have any doubts or questions please contact your dealer or the appropri-
ate distributor for your country.
.
If you decide to ignore these important safety warnings and instructions, you
are doing so at your own risk and Hope Technology cannot be held responsible
for any consequences resulting of the misuse of the brake system.

Once again, don’t overestimate your technical skills. If you are not familiar with
this sort of installation we advise that this brake system should be fitted by a
competent cycle mechanic.
INTRODUCTION
BOX CONTENTS
Congratulations, you have just acquired an highly versatile and powerful HOPE
hydraulic disc brake system proudly made in our Barnoldswick factory in Great Britain.
The new TECH Evo master cylinder associated with the X2, M4 or V2 caliper will suite
any riding style from XC to DH racing.
The new TECH Evo master cylinder has been designed to make your riding
even more enjoyable. The new improved cam cinematic will give a smooth and
progressive feel. With the finger reach and bite point adjustments, you can be sure
the lever will feel comfortable to use. It also features a split clamp for easy fitting,
ambidextrous design and integrated reservoir for easy bleeding.
The one piece caliper is machined from a solid billet of aircraft spec aluminium
. The
caliper is designed to offer power and stiffness. As the caliper is PostMount type,
depending on forks, frame and rotor size, an adaptor bracket may be required.
Throughout
the range the rotors are available from Ø140mm (rear only) to
Ø203mm, for IS fittings but also the HOPE Pro3 SP-XC3 and Pro3 SP-AM4 wheelsets.
