Overview

The EVO TR4 is Hope's four-piston trail brake for medium-duty use, balancing impressive power with a firm and consistent lever feel. Super-smooth lever actuation gives clear braking feedback.
It shares the EVO lever with the GR4 - increased lever hook, dimpled blade, revised cam, roller bearing pivot and a bleed port on the master cylinder body - and uses a one-piece caliper with larger pistons and the same larger pad as the GR4 for improved lever feel and consistency.

- Shares larger pad with GR4
- EVO lever with roller bearing pivot
- Firmer bite point, shorter free stroke
