Hope EVO GR4 Brakes (Braided Hose)

The Hope Tech 4 Evo GR4 is built for riders who demand control, strength, and precision. It’s a four-piston gravity brake designed for trail, downhill, and e-bike use. The smooth lever feel, durable braided hose, and strong stopping power make it one of the top choices for riders upgrading to Hope brakes in New Zealand.

Lever Cam Design

A redesigned cam reduces free stroke and delivers a firmer bite point. Power builds smoothly through the braking zone, improving control on steep or fast terrain.

Piston Movement

The roller bearing pivot and dual guide bushes keep the piston straight and smooth across the full lever range. This precision movement creates consistent brake feel and reliability.

Easy Bleeding

Hope added a bleed port to the master cylinder so you can bleed the system without removing the lid. The internal design helps remove air pockets for a clean, even bleed every time.

Yes. The GR4 offers the power and control needed for heavier e-bikes, especially for trail and enduro riders.
