The Hope Tech 4 Evo TR4 is designed for trail and all-mountain riders who prioritize precise braking control and consistent power delivery. By utilizing a four-piston, one-piece CNC machined caliper, it offers a 6.5% increase in braking ratio over its predecessor, making it ideal for technical terrain where modulation is key. While it provides a firm and responsive feel, users should note that rotors are not included and must be purchased separately to complete the installation.

No, rotors must be purchased separately.
The TR4 features a 6.5% increase in braking ratio and a redesigned cam mechanism for faster engagement.
While robust, these are optimized for trail and all-mountain use. For dedicated downhill, consider larger caliper options if needed.
It includes the primary brake assembly; ensure you have the appropriate adapter brackets for your specific frame and rotor size.
For optimal performance, a bleed is recommended once a year or whenever the lever feel becomes inconsistent.
This typically indicates air in the hydraulic line. Perform a full system bleed using the integrated bleed port.
Contamination on the pads or rotor is the most common cause. Clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol and check for glazed brake pads.
Check the brake pads for uneven wear and ensure the caliper pistons are moving freely; if necessary, clean the pistons with a silicone-based lubricant.
The Tech 4 Evo TR4 is intended for standard trail and all-mountain setups. Because the caliper uses a one-piece design, ensure your frame's brake mounts are clean and properly faced before installation to avoid alignment issues. Use high-quality mineral oil or DOT fluid as specified by the system requirements. For ongoing care, periodically check the pad wear and use the integrated bleed port for annual maintenance. Always ensure that the braided hose is routed without sharp kinks to maintain hydraulic pressure consistency. Note that since rotors are not included, verify that your chosen rotor size is compatible with your specific frame and fork mounts.
