Hope RX4+ SL Front Flat Mount +20 Complete Caliper - DOT Version 2026

HOPE RX4+ SL Front Flat Mount +20 - 4-piston power for road and gravel
Hope's benchmark caliper evolves to become the RX4+ SL Front +20. Entirely CNC-machined from a 2014 T6 aluminium block, this caliper combines exceptional lightness with increased structural rigidity. Its monobloc design eliminates "lever fade" to offer surgical braking precision, even on the longest descents.

Why upgrade to the RX4+ SL Front Flat Mount +20 (DOT Version)?

The RX4+ SL Front +20 caliper uses 4 phenolic resin pistons of different diameters (2x14mm and 2x16mm) to guarantee perfect modulation and consistent braking power. This version is specifically designed to work with DOT 4.0 or 5.1 brake fluid, making it perfectly compatible with SRAM Road/Gravel groupsets.

What's new in the SL version:

• Slimline Design: New bore caps reduce the overall width of the caliper, offering better compatibility with the most compact modern forks.
• Simplified Maintenance: New bleed screw compatible with SRAM fittings or Hope bleed tools (HTTBLRXDOT syringe - specific - available separately).
• Mounting Versatility: This Front Flat Mount +20 standard is designed for 70mm bolt spacing. It allows for 160mm or 180mm rotors depending on the adapter used.

Key features:

• Monobloc CNC machining: 2014 T6 Aluminium for optimal thermal dissipation.
• Pads included: Delivered with two types of pads (Blue for road use, Red for CX/Gravel).
• Customisation: Available in 7 Hope anodised colours (Black, Silver, Red, Blue, Purple, Orange, Smoke).

Practical advice: Ensure you use exclusively DOT 4.0 or 5.1 fluid. The use of mineral oil would irreversibly damage the seals of this version.
