I am a huge fan of Hope brakes. As you can probably tell by most of the test bikes. For 2009, Hope is updating it’s line and getting rid of the Ti 6’s. This is the first sighting of the 2009 Mono Mini’s at Eurobike. The redesign brake lever has more adjustments and the caliper is an all new one piece machined unit.
More Changes Coming From Hope
- Redesigned Moto Lever
- The End of the Ti 6
- New Mono Mini’s
- A More Powerful Redesigned M4
Why Are Hope’s The Best Brakes On The Market?
Superior modulation and power. It just doesn’t get any better than Hope brakes and they are making them even better for ’09. I have owned 2 sets of Mini’s, 2 sets of M4’s and 1 set of Moto’s. The only brakes that even come close are the Formula’s. From what I hear (I haven’t ridden them yet), the new Formula One’s are supposed to be on par with the Moto’s. Some ride time will confirm this, but until then…Hope’s are the king of brakes.
Be on the lookout for reviews on the ’09 line from Hope. It should be a great year for this component maker based out of the UK.
