Hope RX4+ SL Flat Mount Complete Caliper - Mineral Version 2026

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

Why upgrade to the RX4+ SL (Mineral Version)?

The RX4+ SL 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 Mineral oil 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 frames and forks.
• Simplified Maintenance: New bleed screw compatible with SRAM fittings or Hope bleed tools (HTTBLRXMIN syringe - specific - available separately).
• Mounting Versatility: This Flat Mount (34mm spacing) standard can be installed on both front and rear. It allows the use of 140, 160, or 180mm rotors when using dedicated adapters (HBMX, HBMY, or HBMZ).

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).
