Hope Tech 3 V4

Yes, the Hope Tech 3 V4 is specifically engineered to operate two calipers from a single lever. It features independent internal circuits, allowing you to manage both braking systems simultaneously with one hand.

Absolutely. Both the reach and bite point adjustments are tool-less, meaning you can fine-tune your lever feel and engagement point on the fly without needing to carry extra tools.

The pistons use a hybrid design combining stainless steel with phenolic inserts. This construction effectively manages high temperatures and prevents heat transfer to the brake fluid, ensuring consistent performance even during aggressive, sustained braking.

While the V4 is powerful enough for enduro and all-mountain riding, it is versatile enough for cross-country use if you prioritize maximum stopping power and heat management. However, if you are looking for the lightest possible setup, you might find the four-piston power more than you strictly need.

The CNC-machined aluminum is highly durable and rigid, but like any hydraulic system, you will need to perform periodic bleeds to maintain peak performance. The anodized finish is robust, but it is best to avoid harsh chemical cleaners to keep the finish looking sharp.
