Sam Nugent Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 WOW Schweet! I want one. SEXY. Nice rotor too lol. nice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Yeah does look sweet, and it has a vented rotor too, for the Downhill boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Yeah I would have thought they would be aimed at the downhill market, with the bigger piston size and post mounted. That rotor looks cool too, wouldn't mind burning one of those up in france. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Arnold Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 the rotor is a good idea for dh and enduro riding i guess, but as for the rest of the brake, it looks like they're changing it for the sake of changing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 They cant keep trying to sell the same brake for years though, noones going tobuy the same brake just cos its newer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Oh lordies, apart from the fact that it looks gash, i think Hope are trying to climb the ladder called 'Cycle Evolution' . The rotor looks quite cool. Seems as though it is trying to channel the dissapation (wasted heat) from the rotor. And, whats the deal with the sort of semi-external lever seal?Nice find, Mike. Would like some more information on it. It won't be any match for our Avid BB7/Avid Ultimate combo, eh, Mike? Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmt_oli Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Remember its just a prototype, im sure it will change- lever details ect, and cosmetic stuff is likely to improve. Hope have always had the industrial look, so i dont mind the design, certainly different. They have almost always been at the forfront of cycle disk technology. The vented rotor is an amazing piece of engineering, and must be great for long downhills. Not much use for trials though.The Hayes/post mount is something hope was bound to do at some point. people with post mount frames/forks have been getting very pissed off abotu having to get new caliper halfs to mount there hope- most get put of hopes all together. Its just something to widen the market. I personally think its a good design, as its easy to adjust the 'float' you dont have to fiddle around with washers.Overall- looks very promising indeed.
