The EVO X2 is Hope's brake for XC, downcountry and lighter-duty trail riding: a rigid one-piece CNC caliper with two 22 mm hybrid pistons (phenolic inserts to manage heat, smoother movement, less maintenance) on the new EVO lever. Tech EVO lever: longer lever hook for control under hard braking, dimpled blade for grip in all weathers, new cam that shortens the free stroke while keeping Hope's feel and modulation, roller-bearing main pivot, two guide bushes on the master-cylinder piston, bleed port on the body, tool-free bite-point and reach adjusters, hinged clamp. Riders who value lever feel and control over sheer power.

This listing is the front brake with the right-hand lever, post-mount caliper - one complete brake: lever, 2 m black hose (cut to length at fitting), caliper and Hope racing-compound pads, fully bled. Buy the front and the rear for a complete set, or see our Tech EVO X2 brake set with rotors. Choose the colour in the dropdown: the first colour is the lever and caliper body, the second the accents.

Rotors: 1.8 to 2.3 mm - Hope's Floating (6-bolt or Centre Lock) and Fixed rotors. We build the X2 set on 160 mm rotors. Fluid: DOT 5.1 (DOT 4 compatible). Pads: the X2 pad (HBSP237). A flat-mount X2 caliper exists for gravel and light XC frames - ask us.

Hope Technology covers its disc brake systems for two years from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship (proof of purchase required). Brake pads and rotors are wear items. Return the product to Tune Cycles and we manage the claim with Hope's Australian distributor on your behalf.
