Not seen this posted on STW yet, but the new 6 pot Hopes have been announced with a crazy price tag!

Trickstuff need to up their pricing game. 😀

 

Used to have a set of the old 1st gen 6-pots back in the day, horrendous brakes, needed bleeding every 5 minutes. Hope (sic) these are easier to live with.

I’d have to try them to be sure but I’m doubting the hassle of six pistons to deal with is going to offer any worthwhile benefit.

More detail on Pinkbike but I’ve yet to see a picture of the huge pads.  Piston area is on par with other brakes and they will use the existing Evo lever so it’s down to number of pistons and fancy materials to work some magic

Looks like 2 sets of V4/GR4/TR4 pads to me.

Happy about the radial mount - it was mint on the rear of the HB.160 and made spacing out for bigger rotors much easier, but then I'd expect a lot of propaganda from Big Rotor Mount to try and tell us it's a terrible system.

Apparently one big pad has been confirmed

Well, for most cases it will actually be a +20mm post mount to radial adaptor.  Few are going to have a radial mount frame or fork

A new Hope DH bike in the works perhaps?

They look lovely but even if they're twice and good as Hope's 4 pot brakes I'd still stick with my Dominions.

I have a set of the original Mono M4s gathering dust that I seem to recall were about £140 an end!
