Factory Racing Organic puts braking feel first for dry XC, road and gravel riding, with a quieter, responsive bite. This compound can wear very quickly in wet and muddy conditions. Factory Racing STEALTH pairs a steel backing plate with a quieter braking character for trail, road and gravel.

All Enduro Pro and Factory Racing compounds are e-bike rated. For heavy cargo, loaded touring and demanding descents, we recommend Enduro Pro Ultimate or Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic in the correct fitment.

Hope Road Disc Brake Pads FAQs

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

How do I select the correct pad for Hope?

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?

Factory Racing Organic puts braking feel first for dry XC, road and gravel riding, with a quieter, responsive bite. This compound can wear very quickly in wet and muddy conditions. Factory Racing STEALTH pairs a steel backing plate with a quieter braking character for trail, road and gravel.

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. For heavy cargo, loaded touring and demanding descents, we recommend Enduro Pro Ultimate or Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic in the correct 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.
