. 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.
. Please refer to the website videos and technical documents for more informa-
tion including servicing and maintenance - www.hopetech.com / Tech support
section.
The video logo indicates you can find some useful tips on the website
. 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.
. 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.

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.
INTRODUCTION
BOX CONTENTS
Congratulations, you have just acquired an highly versatile and powerful HOPE
hydraulic disc brake system proudly made in our Barnoldswick factory in Great Britain.
The new TECH3 Duo master cylinder associated with the X2, E4 or V4 caliper will suit
any riding style from XC to DH.
The new
TECH3 Duo master cylinder has been designed so you can operate the
front and rear calipers from one single side only, 2 fingers from one hand to control
each brake independently. The construction is derived from the proven TECH3 master
cylinder. With the finger reach and bite point adjustments on each lever, you can be
sure the levers will feel comfortable and suit your riding style. It also features a split
clamp for easy fitting, integrated reservoir for easy bleeding and SRAM shifter direct
mount options.
The TECH3 Duo master cylinder is only compatible with the following Hope
Technology calipers: X2, E4 and V4.
Throughout the range the rotors are available from Ø140mm (rear only) to
Ø220mm, for 6 bolt IS fittings. We’d recommend to use a smaller rotor/caliper
with the brake associated with the longer lever.
