Hope HB916 - H2

$8000 CAD
Have you ever wanted to pull up to the trail head and have everyone drooling over your bike? Do you think that having a Santa Cruz or yeti is just too mainstream? Want to spend just as much time admiring this work of art as you do riding it? Then I have the bike for you! It’s a sad day posting this bike for sale, it is my absolute dream bike, and I spent so much time and energy building it up and getting it to ride absolutely next level. However, after owning it for a season and barely riding it, I’ve decided it’s just a touch too big for me, and so it needs to find a new home. This bike is truly one of the best looking, highest quality and best riding bikes I’ve ever seen or owned. It just oozes craftsmanship throughout the entire bike. If you think it looks good in pictures, just want till you see it in person! The bike has been ridden less than 15 times over the past year and is in fantastic condition. It’s been ride wrapped since new and babied both on and off the trail. It does have a small mark on the left drop out as pictured. Spec list is as follows: Hope HB916 raw carbon - Size H2 (M/L) Ext E-Storia - 400/425lb spring (set for 170-185lb rider weight) Ext Era V2.0 - 170mm 44mm offset Hope Tech4 V4 brakes - 200mm Hope floating rotors Gx AXS shifter and derailleur (scratched but no issues with performance, could also come with a brand new XTR shifter and mech) Shimano XT m8100 10-51t cassette Shimano m9100 XTR chain 5dev trail/enduro 165mm Dub crankset w/ 30t chainring Hope T47 bottom bracket Wolftooth Resolve 31.6mm 200mm w/ one up v2 lever Specialized Power Comp 155mm OR Reform Tantalus saddle Hope 35mm carbon bar @770mm Hope 50mm Gravity stem Raceface Turbine R wheels (mullet) OR brand new WR1 union wheels 29er or MX for an extra $500. Continental Kryptoral Fr & Re DH casing. Bike will also include all the extras such as headset cups, bb spacers for different spindles, ext shock pump, AXS battery charger, spare shimano chain, etc. Something you want to change on the bike? Let me know and I will do what I can to make it happen. Located in Victoria, BC. Willing to meet up/ship for the right buyer. Feel free to message me with any questions. Cheers, Kyle

Review: Manitou Mattoc Pro Fork - Reversed Arched, Foward Thinking
I can only speak to my experience with S4 suspension and Manitou, but their customer service has been fantastic in the last couple years. Had a creaky CSU and an issue with the main seal in the airspring. Both times it was dealt with quickly and at no charge (other than having to ship the fork to S4 once for them to inspect the airspring issue).

Formula Announces 10 Year Support Promise & 2 Year Transferable Warranty
@DizzyNinja: fantastic brakes, especially if you dislike an on/off feel. They have tons of modulation and lever feel, while still offering lots of power (scary power if you use trickstuff power pads). They are also super low maintenance from my experience. Price point is really good as well.

Seb Stott's 2024 Predictions
@Ttimer: they don’t, but they do post graphs for the leverage change in each chainstay length. Do any brands currently compensate for that in their bikes? I can’t think of any.

Seb Stott's 2024 Predictions
The new Kavenz VHP V7 family of bikes has a dropout system that works with UDH. It does require different dropouts depending on chainstay length though, and isn’t just an integrated flip chip.

10 Things I Loved in 2023: Dario DiGiulio
@chakaping: Personally, I think it’s a great summer tire. Works well on hard pack, loose over hard, mixed conditions kind of stuff. Most of my time on them has been at bike parks in BC, like Whistler, with a little bit of wet weather riding this fall/winter in the PNW. It does fine in the wet, but probably doesn’t penetrate the slop nearly as well as the hillbilly. What I love most is the confidence in the corners. Those big side knobs just hook up and lock you in. There’s good feedback and just a ton of grip and support.

10 Things I Loved in 2023: Dario DiGiulio
Great list, Dario! Stoked to see you continue to grow and put out content with the Pinkbike team. If you’re into the specialized tires, especially the grid gravity casing, and haven’t tried the Cannibal yet, you need to, like immediately. Regarding the mallet E’s, I ran these for years and enjoyed many things about them. I’ve since swapped over to the Hope Union GC pedals this year and they seem to have solved all my complaints about the mallets, while still retaining the feel I loved about them. Your love of big bike makes me think you need a project/test bike with a dual crown fork, but also a dropper and 12spd drivetrain. Having a Kavenz VHP18 set up this way last season was outrageous, smashing park laps one day, followed by big climbs the next, and never worrying about being under biked is a riot. Only downside is you have much less of an excuse to not ride those spicy sections/features!

Video: Welcome to the 2023 Enduro Bike Field Test
This comment section really brings to light why so many bikes over the years “look like a session”. Any bike that doesn’t follow the classic form ends up being called ugly. Chalk it up to human nature and not wanting to stand out from the crowd? Personally, I’m stoked to see see with a wide range of designs, and all of these look fantastic IMO.
