The Hope Mono Minis got a serious overhaul - There is a new “Moto”lightweight lever with a split clamp, that gives a smooth, progressive feel and more power, while providing an easy fitting. The integrated master cylinder reservoir makes it easier to bleed. The lever reach is also adjustable. Black hose and steel rotor are standard. The caliper is cnc’d machined from a solid billet of aluminium with a stiffer caliper bridge and 3D machined pockets. Besides reducing the weight by 35 grams per side, Hope also made a more rigid caliper, which improved the feel of the lever. This year, the color is a silver caliper with black bore caps allowing access for servicing. The caliper pistons are phenolic to isolate the caliper from the heat generated in the pads. Hope also introduced a saw-style rotor, which is surely different than the other brands out there. 340 grams per side.
One Kit Includes: Rotor, standard black hose, lever, caliper, and hardware to outfit a front OR rear. Brakes are also pre-bled and ready to bolt onto your bike. If desired, we will also pre-install stainless hose instead of the standard black hose (choose option below).
Rotor Sizes Available: 183 or 160 MM for the front, and either a 183, 160, or 140 MM rear (we can also special order Rohloff or Coda compatible rotors upon request).

If you select the floating rotor upgrade, a black floating rotors will be shipped unless you follow up the purchase with an email specifying a different color. Please note that any color other than black can delay shipment time for up to two weeks as they are special orders.
