Presumably this is because new models are on their way which will make these 'obsolete'.

Hope stuff won't ever be obsolete as their after sales service is 2nd to none and will have spares for old systems even now. I think its sour grapes!

That was a tounge-in-cheek comment - I've still got a set of original 1996 Hope Hydros (C2s) on the go on one bike...

I ordered some on Saturday morning, just got the email to say they're on their way - good shout by the OP.

Hope brakes don't get obsolete, they just get older. These will replace some 8 year old Hope minis which will be relegated to my winter hack bike. I don't consider the minis obsolete - I can still get all the spares for them and they still stop the bike.
Edit: just seen clubber's response - could have done with a smiley on that!

Sorry clubber, just used to a lot of people being very negative on this forum.

Mind you, the new design X2s are (IIRC) 15% more powerful!

Got my email today to say they have been dispatched, never thought it was going to arrive!

I managed to get a front but the rear was out of stock and got canceled. Ordered one from Merlin yesterday afternoon and it arrived a few hours before the one from Winstanleys came. So much nicer than the Elixir 3's they've replaced and only costing £100 even with getting one from Merlin as I've punted the Elixir's on to a guy a work.

Ordered M4 front on Saturday, in stock! Got an email yesterday saying they were unavailable and discontinued! Oh well, just my kind of luck

For what its worth, just bought some elixir r's off merlin - they are doing them for £45 not including discs.

Ordered front and rear m4s on saturday, got the front yesterday, but the rear discontinued. Quick phone call to the shop and im now getting the special edition m4 instead. Didn't want the same colour brakes anyway!!

Ah just had an email to say the front is out of stock!
Called them earlier in the week where they confirmed they had enough stock to cover both my orders so pretty pissed off now!
