Choosing Semi-Metallic

Semi-Metallic is a versatile everyday option for commuting, road, gravel and lighter trails on conventional bicycles.

The Performance range is for conventional bicycles. For electric bikes, compare the e-bike-rated Enduro Pro and Factory Racing options; for heavy cargo or demanding descents, start with Ultimate Orange or Semi Metallic Blue.

HOPE Compatible Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pads FAQs

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

How do I select the correct pad for Hope?

The original RX4-SR (SRAM) Semi-Metallic product uses HBSP359. Hope lists a 31 mm reference width for this shape. It does not fit E4, RX4+ or RX4-SH calipers using HBSP323. Choose the separate E4 / RX4+ product for that family, and keep V4/GR4/TR4, X2/RX2 and M4 shapes separate. Check the exact caliper and original pad outline before ordering.

When should I consider Semi-Metallic?

Semi-Metallic is a versatile everyday option for commuting, road, gravel and lighter trails on conventional bicycles.

Is Semi-Metallic the same option as Enduro Pro Semi Metallic Blue?

No. The everyday Semi-Metallic option belongs to the Performance range for conventional bicycles. Enduro Pro Semi Metallic Blue is a separate e-bike-rated Enduro Pro choice, recommended for heavier loads and long descents. Check the full product name and exact caliper fitment.

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.
