Hope Technology Press Release

Introducing the long-awaited carbon version of our tried-and-tested EVO cranks. The Carbon crank has been designed to maximise the advantages of carbon fibre, through a unique construction method whilst using very small aluminium inserts to keep weight down. This, coupled with an optimised lay-up, ensures a good balance between ride feel, stiffness, and isolation from trail chatter.

Longevity and serviceability are considered in everything we do, and the Carbon crank is no exception. With a 1K outer fabric used for enhanced abrasion resistance. The crank also features replaceable pedal threads, and like the Evo cranks, its axles and chainrings are interchangeable, making it compatible with most drivetrains and frames. Covering you for the future.

Much like our HB916, Carbon Bars & Seatpost, the crank was designed, tested and manufactured in our Barnoldswick factory, showcasing our commitment to maintain the highest standards of Carbon fibre production in the UK.
