It\u2019s been a busy few years for Hope, what with making Team GB\u2019s radical Tokyo 2020 track bike<\/a> and adding the fully in-house manufactured 160mm-travel HB.916 to its mountain bike portfolio.<\/p>\n

So the UK brand could be forgiven for having a fairly quiet Eurobike<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n

That said, we still found a few gems nestled among the colourful array of parts adorning Hope\u2019s stand in Germany.<\/p>\n

First to catch our eye was the all-new Gravity stem. The design takes most of its cues from Hope\u2019s existing DH stem.<\/p>\n

The idea, according to Alan Weatherill at Hope Tech, was to take the strength and shape of the DH stem and strip it back to a lighter design.<\/p>\n

At 173g, the Gravity is a lot lighter than the DH stem.<\/span> <\/figcaption> Warren Rossiter \/ Our Media<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

The 35mm option we got our hands on tipped the BikeRadar scales of truth at 173g, a decent saving over the DH\u2019s 215g claimed weight.<\/p>\n

The Gravity stem will be available soon, priced at \u00a3130\/\u20ac150.<\/p>\n

Next on Hope\u2019s Eurobike list came the new 14-tooth, 12-speed jockey wheels designed specifically for SRAM\u2019s mountain bike drivetrains.<\/p>\n

The differential tooth profile is claimed to work smoothly, yet be durable in the mud. They\u2019re available in numerous colours too.<\/p>\n

Tipping our scales at 20.1g each, the jockey wheels are priced at \u00a345 a pair (US and EU pricing TBC).<\/p>\n

Free tools: Hope is offering open-source downloadable files to 3D print its tools and widgets.<\/span> <\/figcaption> Warren Rossiter \/ Our Media<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Hope\u2019s Eurobike news also included an update to all of its 30mm bottom brackets<\/a>, which now offer DUB compatibility at not extra cost.<\/p>\n

Also on display was a set of tools and widgets designed to make Hope brake servicing easier.<\/p>\n

Weatherill told us these tools are all based on items Hope staff have made and improved based on the experience of working with them day in, day out.<\/p>\n

Rather than manufacture the tools and sell them to Hope\u2019s customers, the brand is making the data files of the designs open source to allow anyone to 3D print them.<\/p>\n
