The Hope HBSP157 hydraulic hose represents the excellence of high-performance braking for demanding cyclists. Manufactured by Goodridge for Hope, this braided stainless steel hose with a 5mm diameter guarantees exceptional resistance to compression and pinching, ensuring consistent hydraulic pressure and unparalleled braking response.

Technical Summary

This hydraulic hose is designed according to the Hope standard since 2005, with aviation-grade stainless steel braiding wrapping a PTFE core with a 2.4mm inner diameter. Sold by the linear meter (the ordered quantity determines the cutting length: 1 = 1 continuous meter, 2 = 2 continuous meters, etc.), it offers total flexibility to customize your setups. Optimized for all Hope braking systems (Tech 3, Tech 4, Race Evo, X2, E4, V4, Moto, Mono, Mini), it can also equip most 5mm hydraulic brakes with appropriate fittings.

Technical Highlights

• Goodridge high-performance braiding: Aerospace stainless steel offering maximum rigidity under pressure and extreme durability against mechanical and climatic stress
• Anti-expansion PTFE core: Minimizes hydraulic expansion under stress, ensuring firm and progressive lever feel even during repeated downhill braking
• Superior resistance: Designed to resist pinching, crushing, kinking and abrasion, ideal for demanding disciplines (enduro, DH, aggressive trail)
• Extended compatibility: Works perfectly with Hope brakes and adapts to other brands (Magura MT7, SRAM, etc.) with suitable inserts and olives
• British manufacturing: Manufactured in the United Kingdom by Goodridge, world reference in high-performance braiding for motorsports and cycling

Geometry and Standards

• Outer diameter: 5 mm (Hope standard post-2005)
• Inner diameter: 2.4 mm
• Recommended lengths:
  • Front brake: approximately 1 meter
  • Rear brake: approximately 1.5 meters (depending on frame geometry and internal/external routing)
• Frame compatibility: All frames with integrated or external cable routing

Applications and Use

This hose is intended for experienced mechanics and cyclists who wish to rebuild or customize their braking systems. It is perfectly suited for replacing worn hoses, optimizing braking performance, or adapting custom lengths for complex setups. Compatible with all terrains: XC MTB, trail, enduro, DH, gravel, cyclocross, road bike with disc brakes. Note that this hose is sold alone: fittings, inserts (olives) and copper sealing washers must be purchased separately according to your braking system.

Maintenance and Installation

• Clean cut required: Use a specific hose cutter to ensure a clean perpendicular cut
• Braiding preparation: Slightly remove the insulation and compress the olive into the braiding to facilitate fitting assembly
• Leak test: Always perform a pressure test and bleed the system after installation
• Regular inspection: Check for absence of friction, kinks or pinching during periodic maintenance
