La Hope HB916 è pura adulazione da enduro
All'inizio di quest'anno, Hope Technology ha annunciato la nuovissima bici da enduro Hope HB916. È spudoratamente una macchina da corsa di razza, come dimostrato da Joe Barnes sul circuito del World Enduro. Una piattaforma di sospensione "semi" a quattro barre con perno alto offre 160 mm di escursione della ruota posteriore, con una corsa dell'asse prevalentemente posteriore su un telaio in carbonio allentato con generosi numeri di portata e passo. E ha una scatola per i sederi, dove si possono riporre in sicurezza i propri sederi (panini, non piccoli amici) durante il fine settimana di distruzione.
È facile vedere l'appello, giusto? L'HB916 è alla moda e sembra un'arma assoluta. Ed è realizzato interamente nel Regno Unito presso il quartier generale di Hope Tech a Barnoldswick. Ero entusiasta di provarlo sui migliori piatti scozzesi.

Per prima cosa abbiamo dato una buona occhiata alla Hope HB916 al CORE Bike, dove è stata presentata per la prima volta con tre telai incredibilmente meravigliosi in mostra. Puoi acquistare il telaio Carbon Finish con una bobina Ohlins TTX22M, una bobina Ohlins TTX2 Air, una bobina Fox DHX2 o un ammortizzatore Fox Float X2 Air per £ 3.595 / € 4.500. Ciò include una serie sterzo Hope e un movimento centrale T47.
La finitura neutra (bianco e nero) ti costerà un po’ di più: £ 3.845 / € 4.800, con la finitura Chameleon l’opzione più costosa a £ 4.095 / € 5.100. Come un camaleonte, cambia colore a seconda di come la luce lo colpisce, e sotto è ancora possibile vedere la finitura in carbonio. È davvero favoloso.

Abbiamo già trattato tutti i dettagli dell'Hope HB916. Prima di immergermi nelle mie impressioni sulle sue prestazioni sul percorso, è opportuno ricordare ciò che è necessario sapere.
Con una forcella da 170 mm di escursione e un set di ruote da 29″, l'HB.916 ha un angolo di sterzo di 64° e uno sbraccio di 470 mm in H2. Ma, grazie alle calotte della serie sterzo regolabili e al flip-chip sull'interfaccia del fodero del sedile oscillante, questa bici da enduro ha non meno di quattro configurazioni di installazione. Il primo consente di ridurre l'angolo di sterzo a 63,2°, mentre il secondo corregge la geometria della bici quando la ruota posteriore da 29″ viene sostituita con una ruota da 27,5″. Pertanto, hai quattro grafici geometrici su cui approfondire.
