MCoen Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Beginning of September last year Bikeradar showed a picture of a new Trialsbrake from Hope called "the zone": (Article on Bikeradar.com). Has there been any updates on the brake? I cannot find any information on it. Here is the picture from Bikeradar.com: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCoen Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/complete_brake_levers/hope_race_lever/c71p11537.html New lever. The caliper is still the same nope, that is not the same brake. The one in the link is the lever of the Hope Race X2 a XC specific very light brake but not the new trials specific brake they showed at bikeradar. And the Race X2 has a specific caliper as well.

SamKidney Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 nope, that is not the same brake. The one in the link is the lever of the Hope Race X2 a XC specific very light brake but not the new trials specific brake they showed at bikeradar. And the Race X2 has a specific caliper as well. Only in the same way that the Hope Tech lever and the Hope Mono levers can be used with many of Hopes callipers? The tech lever is used with the X2 calliper, the M4 calliper, V2 calliper, as well as being compatible with the Mono Trial Calliper also. The Hope race lever IS the very same lever shown at Bikeradar, and is being sold as the race lever to make the product more appealing to an outside market aswell as the Trials market for which it was originaly intended. And the calliper isnt a specific calliper to the Race lever, its the very same calliper used on the Tech X2 brakes. Tech X2 Race X2 Both use the very same calliper.
