Tech 4 V4 Steel Standard Hose Disc Brake

The Hope Tech 4 V4 disc brake exceeds once again the performance of the popular predecessor. This achieves the 4-piston brake with improved ergonomics, higher braking force and minimized wear. The brake ratio has been fine-tuned based on real riding data to achieve the best efficiency and the typical precise braking feel. The linear relationship between lever force and brake pressure allows easy and intuitive control of braking performance.

The most powerful model of the brand was designed specifically for Downhill use where maximum as well as consistent braking performance and reliability are the most important factors.

Rotor and adapter available separately!

• Available to fit 160, 180, 183, 200, 203 and 220mm front and rear rotors
• Standard hose version
• 30% pressure increase compared with the Tech 3 brake
• Hydraulic ratio improved by using a small diameter master cylinder bore
• Mechanical ratio increase for the best balance of increased power and modulation, resulting in usable lever feel throughout the full range of reach and bite point adjustment. The mechanical ratio has been fine-tuned using real riding data to provide its best efficiency at lever forces typically used during riding.
• Linear relationship between brake pressure and lever force making it easy and intuitive to control the braking power.
• 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 consisting of a stainless-steel piston shell, which 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
• All Tech 4 brakes are supplied with new racing compound pads. They are designed to offer impressive performance straight out of the box with little bedding in required, they are also more resistant to fade than standard organic pads.
