Choose your compound

Sintered is a good choice for cold, wet and muddy riding. It generates substantial heat, which can transfer to the caliper faster than with other compounds in our range. For high-heat applications, we recommend Enduro Pro and Factory Racing compounds. Semi-Metallic is a versatile everyday option for commuting, road, gravel and lighter trails on conventional bicycles.

All Enduro Pro and Factory Racing compounds are e-bike rated. Choose only an option offered for your exact caliper. If you need advice for heavy cargo or demanding descents and the recommended Enduro Pro Ultimate or Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic fitment is not listed, contact us before choosing another pad shape.

Brake Pads for HOPE X2 / RX2 / XCR Brakes FAQs

A little help with fitment, compounds and getting ready to ride.

How do I select the correct pad for HOPE X2 / RX2 / XCR?

Choose by the Hope caliper family, not the Tech lever name alone. Keep E4 / RX4+ / RX4-SH (HBSP323), original RX4-SR (HBSP359), V4/GR4/TR4 and X2/RX2/XCR pad groups separate. RX4-SR pads do not fit the HBSP323 calipers. Check the selected product’s exact compatibility before ordering.

Which of the available compounds should I compare?

Sintered is a good choice for cold, wet and muddy riding. It generates substantial heat, which can transfer to the caliper faster than with other compounds in our range. For high-heat applications, we recommend Enduro Pro and Factory Racing compounds. Semi-Metallic is a versatile everyday option for commuting, road, gravel and lighter trails on conventional bicycles.

Which compounds are e-bike rated, and which do you recommend for heavy loads?

All Enduro Pro and Factory Racing compounds are e-bike rated. Choose only an option offered for your exact caliper. If you need advice for heavy cargo or demanding descents and the recommended Enduro Pro Ultimate or Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic fitment is not listed, contact us before choosing another pad shape.

How should I prepare the rotor and bed in new pads?

Check the rotor’s condition, wear limit and permitted pad material. Follow the installation instructions for your caliper and our bedding-in guide, including rotor preparation when changing compounds.
