FAQs

What type of riding is the Hope Tech 4 EVO GR4 best suited for?

The Tech 4 EVO GR4 is engineered for aggressive riding disciplines such as gravity, enduro, and e-bike applications where maximum stopping power and control are paramount.

How does the new cam mechanism improve braking?

The new cam mechanism is designed to reduce the free lever stroke, resulting in a quicker engagement point and a more responsive brake lever feel.

Can I use this brake with any rotor size?

Compatibility with rotor size depends on your frame and fork's maximum rotor size allowance and the appropriate adapter used. Consult your bike manufacturer's specifications.

How do I bleed the Hope Tech 4 EVO GR4 brakes?

Refer to the Hope Tech 4 EVO GR4 manual for specific bleeding instructions. Generally, it involves using a bleed kit with appropriate mineral oil and following a step-by-step process to remove air from the system.

What is the advantage of hybrid pistons?

Hybrid pistons help to manage heat effectively during sustained braking on long descents, reducing the risk of brake fade and maintaining consistent performance.

Does the caliper increase frame clearance?

Yes, the revised bore cap is designed to improve frame clearance on modern bicycle designs without compromising the caliper's strength.

Is this a complete brake system or just a lever/caliper?

This product is for the right-hand brake lever and caliper. You will need to purchase a separate left-hand brake assembly, hoses, and a rotor to complete a full braking system.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever feels spongy or lacks power

The brake system likely needs bleeding to remove air bubbles. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for a hydraulic brake bleed.

Brake pads are not engaging properly

Check for contamination on the rotor or pads. Clean both thoroughly with a dedicated brake cleaner. Ensure the caliper is correctly aligned with the rotor and pistons are moving freely.

Brake lever has excessive free stroke (play)

Adjust the lever reach or bite point if applicable on your model. If the issue persists, a bleed might be necessary, or check for wear in the lever mechanism.

Squealing or noise during braking

This can be caused by contaminated pads or rotors, or improper bedding-in. Clean components and re-bed the brakes according to manufacturer recommendations. Ensure brake pads are correctly installed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional stopping power suitable for aggressive riding.
  • Improved lever feel and modulation for precise control.
  • Durable construction with a focus on stiffness and heat management.
  • Designed for modern bike geometries with enhanced frame clearance.
  • Simplified maintenance with an integrated bleed port.

Cons

  • May offer more power than needed for casual or cross-country riding.
  • Requires proper setup to achieve optimal performance.
  • High-performance components may come at a premium price point.
  • The specialized design is optimized for demanding use cases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure proper brake line routing and connection to the lever and caliper. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for bleeding the brake system to remove air and ensure optimal performance. Adjust lever reach to suit your hand size and preference. Compatibility with rotors and adapters will depend on your specific frame and wheelset standards.

Compatibility: This brake system is designed for use with standard hydraulic brake rotors. Ensure your frame and fork have the appropriate Post Mount or Flat Mount (adapter dependent) fittings for the caliper. Check compatibility with your existing shifter and dropper post routing if using integrated cockpit designs.

Care: Regularly clean the caliper and rotor with a degreaser and water to remove dirt and debris. Periodically inspect brake pads for wear and replace as needed. Perform a brake bleed annually or when the lever feels spongy. Avoid using harsh solvents directly on seals or the master cylinder.
