Once again, don’t overestimate your technical skills. If you are not familiar with
this sort of installation we advise that this brake system should be fitted by a
competent cycle mechanic.
Congratulations, you have just acquired the high tech and lightweight Race X2
hydraulic disc brake system. This brake has been specially designed for XC racing use
only and aimed for those looking to associate low weight with high braking
performances.
The Race master cylinder will give a smooth and progressive feel. It features a split
clamp for easy fitting, integrated reservoir for bleeding and adjustable lever reach.
The one piece X2 caliper is machined from a solid billet of aircraft spec aluminium.
The caliper is designed to offer power and stiffness. As the caliper is PostMount type,
depending on forks, frame and rotor size, an adaptor bracket may be required.
The full stainless steel or floating rotors are available in Ø140mm (rear only) and
Ø160mm, for IS fittings (6 bolts) but also the lightweight HOPE Pro3 SP-XC3 wheelset.
Please bear in mind that this brake system hasn’t been designed to be used in harsh
alpine conditions (or similar). . Don’t overestimate your technical capacities. This brake system must be fitted
by a competent cycle mechanic using the correct tools. Incorrect installation
could result in brake failure that could cause serious or fatal injuries.
. This brake system has been designed to be used only on two-wheel vehicles
with human propulsion. Any other application is not advisable and could result
in the failure of this product.
. Your brake system will generate heat during braking. Never touch either the
disc or caliper after long braking period as this could cause severe burns.
. Before each ride always check the brake for proper function, the brake pad for
wear and that there is no system damage resulting in fluid leaks.
. It’s common sense to also check that your wheel’s quick release systems are
securely installed and tightened.
. Your braking performance will improve in almost all conditions. Please take
time to become familiar with your new brake. Always ride within your own
ability.
. Brake pad contaminated with brake fluid, chain lubricant or unsuitable bike
cleaner will need replacing because the overall brake performance will be
greatly diminished.
. Please refer to the website videos and technical documents for more informa-
tion including servicing and maintenance - www.hopetech.com
. If you have any doubts or questions please contact your dealer or the appropri-
ate distributor for your country.
. If you decide to ignore these important safety warnings and instructions, you
are doing so at your own risk and Hope Technology cannot be held responsible
for any consequences resulting of the misuse of the brake system.
