The all new
Tech 4 X2 builds on our 25+ years’ experience designing and manufacturing hydraulic brake systems. The
Tech 4 uses all new internal sealing for reduced friction and the pivot spins on roller bearings, allowing the spring rate to be reduced. The lower spring rate in turn gives a lighter lever action, reducing rider fatigue and keeping our legendary feel and modulation. Combine this with an updated
X2 Postmount or Flatmount caliper for the best in class XC brake.
Key Features :
- Increased power versus Tech 3
- Lever shape updated to provide a more ergonomic shape orientated to provide the best mechanical advantage during braking.

- Shifter integration has been improved and now offers 30° of angle adjustment as well as neater packaging and compatibility with the latest shifters. Lateral adjustment on both sides of the master cylinder is also possible to give a wide range of lever position options.
- The Tech 4 retains the tool-free bite point and reach adjustments from the Tech 3
- All Tech 4 brakes are supplied with new racing compound pads
Flatmount Caliper Mount options :
- Mount Z: Required to fit the X2 FM caliper onto Front Flatmount standard and use a Ø160 disc – Front Flatmount standard is typically found on road/gravel/CX forks
- Mount Y: Required to fit the X2 FM caliper onto Rear Flatmount standard using Ø160 disc – Rear Flatmount std is typically found on the back of some road/grave/CX frame but also lately on light XC frames
- The caliper will also fit directly on Flatmount rear standard using a Ø140 disc.
Note : The Flatmount X2 caliper is designed for use with the Hope Tech 4, Tech 3, XCR Pro and Tech/Tech Evo levers only.
