Brakes/Levers/Pads

Brass compression olive for Hope hydraulic disc brakes.

Brass hose insert for Hope hydraulic disc brakes.

All our brake pads are designed and dyno tested in-house at Barnoldswick All pads are rigourously tested by us and our Pro riders to ensure maximum performance and longevity We keep a wide range of pads to suit all our brakes Almost all our brake pads are available in sintered or standard compound options All our brake pads come with the necessary hardware

Designed specifically for our V4 brakes. The Vented Rotor is highest performing disc for the harshest operating conditions. The outer is constructed from three pieces to create a gap between the external braking surfaces to help reduce heat build up.

KEY FEATURES

The vented rotor is designed specifically for our V4 brakes.

Highest performing disc, for the harshest operating conditions.

Outer is constructed from three pieces to create a gap between the external braking surfaces.

The rotor uses internal fins to allow the air to flow between the two friction parts, the induced air flow significantly reduces heat build up in the rotor.

Fantastic and consistent braking performance in wet conditions thanks to its capability to clear the water layer through its fins.

Dyno tests show up to 15% less heat build up compared to our floating rotors.

Vented outer is joined to aluminium centre allowing 1 of freedom in a true floating design.

Available in: 203mm and 220mm sizes in a 6 Bolt fitment.

3.3mm Thick

Weight 203mm: 288g

The Tech 4 V4 builds on our 25+ years’ experience designing and manufacturing hydraulic brake systems. The Tech 4 uses all new internal sealing for reduced friction and the pivot spins on roller bearings, allowing the spring rate to be reduced. The lower spring rate in turn gives a lighter lever action, reducing rider fatigue and keeping our legendary feel and modulation. The updated V4 caliper utilises hybrid style Stainless steel pistons with a phenolic insert allowing for smoother movement and less maintenance, while still able to manage high temperatures without heat transfer during extreme use. KEY FEATURES - Increased power versus Tech 3 - Lever shape updated to provide a more ergonomic shape orientated to provide the best mechanical advantage during braking. - Hinged clamp reducing weight and to improve ergonomics - Tool free bite point and reach adjustments - Hybrid piston design - Rigid CNC'd one piece caliper - Compatible with a wider range of current shifter options - Complete brake available in Black or Silver with colour accent options of; Black, silver, purple, red, blue, or orange. - Choose either standard or braided hose (braided hose is an extra cost) - 30% pressure increase compared with the Tech 3 brake - 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 that 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. For more information on all our pad compounds see the new pad guide here. - Max rotor thickness with V4 Caliper 3.3mm - Available in Black, Silver, Bronze, Red, Blue, Orange & Purple **Please Note** The V4 caliper is not compatible with all direct mount 180mm forks due to the large piston design and variation in mount positions. We recommend running the V4 caliper with the correct mount and a 200mm rotor in this application. The V4 caliper is also not compatible with the 2021 Commencal Supreme DH frame 200mm Direct Postmount
