Hope Tech Has Some New Bits at Eurobike 6

The big news from Hope was their recent launch of the carbon HB.160 bike, but they’re working some new projects and product updates. They’re working a lighter version of their existing crank for XC and cyclocross applications. The crank arms are hollowed-out to remove material and weight. They’re sealed back up with a bonded plate keeping the cranks extremely stiff but also light. The spindle interface has been updated to a self-extracting bolt design and Hope is claiming a 500g weight with chainring. They may be working on something similar for trail / enduro use.

Hope’s six-piston v6 hydraulic disc has been seen on Adam Brayton’s World Cup bike at steeper tracks. Hope is still unsure about production availability, but if nothing else, it could be a contender for the e-bike market.

Finally Hope’s carbon handle bar is a production item. We’ve seen it at tradeshows for a couple years and now it’s for sale. The bar is made in the UK at Hope’s carbon factory, has a 20mm rise, 780mm width with 5-degree upsweep and 7-deg backsweep.
