The all-new Hope Tech 4 X2 Hydraulic Disc Brake is the culmination of of Hope's 25+ years experience of designing and manufacturing some of the best brakes ever made. With 30% more power than the old Tech 3 X2 along with a lighter lever action, the Tech 4 X2 is a stunningly lightweight and powerful brake ideal for cross country, down country and lightweight trail bikes. 30% extra power compared the old Tech 3 leverLever shape updated to provide a more ergonomic shapeHinged clamp reduces weight and improves ergonomicsTool free bite point and reach adjustments for easy, personalised setupRigid CNC'd one piece 2 piston post mount caliper for lightweight yet powerful stoppingSupplied with new Racing Compound pads for improved power and modulationThe Tech 4 X2 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. Not only this, but the updated lever and blade provide a 30% increase in pressure over the Tech 3 lever for a bucket load of extra braking power! The Tech 4 lever also retains Hope's signature tool free bite point and reach adjustments. The updated X2 caliper features 2 large pistons for excellent braking power and ease of maintenance mixed with exceptionally lightweight. If you want the ultimate lightweight brake that perfectly blends power, style and reliability, look no further than the Hope Tech 4 X2!

Carbon Braided Rails Rather than a conventional solid or tubular rail, fi'zi:k's rails use an outer sleeve of braided carbon fibers forming a tube, with the void inside being filled by unidirectional carbon fibers. This construction is strong, light and stiff. Wing Flex Technology Wing Flex shell has engineered flexibility along the edges where the inner thighs contact the saddle. By allowing this area to flex, the rider can achieve a full range of leg movement in a wide range of riding positions. Wing Flex allows the saddle to adapt to the rider rather than the rider having to get used to the saddle. Integrated Clip System The Integrated Clip System (ICS) is an integrated interface in the saddle's base to allow quick attachment and removal of ICS accessories such as the Fi'zi:k saddle Pa:k and Blin:k light. It is a clean, easy, fast and secure attachment that does not require any tools. Tundra M1 is for The Snake: Flexible Spine If you are very spinally flexible (far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Snake.
