"With such a great price and free shipping, I couldn't resist buying this brake to replace my Avid BB5 front brake. It came pre-assembled and pre-bled out of the box and was super easy to install. It is easy to adjust and works brilliantly. Highly recommended."

Awesome brakes!
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"A beautiful set of brakes they look the part and they deffently out perform alot of other manufactures out there they are also very quite if set up right which is easy you will not hear or feel them rubbing on the disc which alot of other brands do.
Also there floating disc are unique have not seen any other brand supply them.
Take note the Hope X2 are 4 piston and they are not much dearer they would be perfect for the front these are only twin they are deffently good enough but if you want the best go the 4 piston for the front."

Hope Rear Disc
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"This Disc Brake was easy to install. Everything went together well and was also easy to bleed. There is even a video on Youtube showing you how to do it. Once installed a short amount of time is required to set up just where you want the bite point and the reach. Once completed this brake has worked great."

Byebye Juicy 5, Hello Tech X2!
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight
"I've ridden with Juicy 5's for a while now and they were touch and go, but i put up with it for the good modulation.
I have to say, these brakes have completely changed my opinion of braking! I can't believe how much stopping power these little beauties have, and I'm impressed by the modulation with them too.
Very adjustable thanks to the bite point control and reach adjust, and they are the easiest brakes in the universe to bleed. Just a bottle and a pipe and you're sorted!
They're not too heavy either, and considering the quality that you're buying into, they're so cheap they might as well give them away.
All in, it's well worth getting these because it will be the best set of brakes you ever own."

They looks the nuts and work even better
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Versatile, Good Fit
"I've just done my first trail today with my new front X2 brake set. All I can say is perfect.
Obviously the first 10km was quite spongy but as the brakes wore in, the power came in tremendously fast but it was very progressive and controllable.
Towards the end of the day, I completed a 1000m decent with staggering control and I can't wait to get the rear brake to complete my set.
On top of this, they are cheaper than the competition so I simply don't understand why OEM's use them.
Either way, they are staggeringly better than my Avid Juicy 5's and far more controllable.
Very happy and the bling factor is superb. I had passers by coming over to take a look while stopping for a drink!
My only con is the hose was too long (but that's unavoidable for a generic setup), and the hose was twisted meaning I had to take it over to my local mountain bike shop to make some final adjustments. No biggy really.
Massively recommended! (Braided hose and floating rotor of course!) ;)"

Superb
Pros: Adjustable, Good Fit
"Great brakes, very solid feel.
Not sure if they are meant to come pre-bled and ready to fit but mine needed bleeding as mine were full of air.
Fantastic now they are bled and bedded in."

Best Brake i have ever owned
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged, Versatile, everything
Cons: none
"I bought a set of these brakes around 3 weeks ago now, and they have been used for 16 rides, the first ride i went out on on these i thought i would go to a downhill track and test them out to see how good they really are. So we arrived at my mates private track, and i did a run and got a big shock when i pulled the brake, the stopping power is imense, i was not expecting it to be so sharp and strong it was like hitting a brick wall, I just stopped dead, the pads and shear braking power would not let the rotor carry on slipping, they took bite and kept hold. These are truely the king of stopping power and we all know that hope are the top brake producing company in the world."

Done with Juicy 7's!
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, High Quality, Lightweight
"First Wiggle awesome order to receipt UK to Canada in less than a week!
Product is perfect the Tech X2 levers are cool and look good on my Stumpy. Levers are a little longer than the stock Juicy so they had to be mounted inside the gear selector. Install was straight forward took me less than an hour to remove and replace. So far things are great braking is strong and controlled. Bang for the buck compared to others is high. In all I am very pleased with the quality, fit and finish. Reach adjust is awesome!"

Top brakes from Hope
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged, Versatile
"Stunning performance and looks, beautifully machined kit. Fitted them onto my Santa Cruz Blur which was pure simplicity, up and running in no time. Complete custom fit thanks to adjustable brake contact point and lever adjust, the levers feel perfect for powerful one-finger stopping, no dramas fitting next to XTR triggers. I did shorten the braided hoses which did cause them to fray and prove difficult to reseat into the olive and housing, a few tips on this would have been useful! Overall modulation and power is spot on and they look the business, v highly recommended."
