COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS

Choose our House Special full build to ride what we ride. Solid components that won’t let you down on big days in the mountains.
However if you would prefer any other parts just let us know and we can put together a full custom build.

All Hope parts can be supplied in your choice of colour.

"We don't use steel because it's easy to work with. We use it because we think it is better. Read this book to find out why and how we make our bikes the way we do."

REAR TRAVEL

140mm rear travel may not sound like much but it is the magic number for a true alpine bike. When you are on a long alpine mission the bike needs to react efficiently under pedalling.

Frequently asked questions

What is the order process?

Press the button on this page and we can chat. Tell me how you want your bike. Tell me your weight and riding style so Fast can tune the shock perfectly for you. Tell me whether you want a full build and whether you want to change any parts. Once you are happy we issue an invoice and an estimated date for collection. When it is ready you come to Samoëns and ride the trails this bike was born to ride.

Can you make it longer travel?

No

Can I run a 170 fork?

No

Can you make a mullet version?

No

Can I have a tapered head tube?

No

Can I use a 30.9 seat post?

No

Why won't you deliver?

We want you to come and see where this bike was created. Come and ride the trails it was designed to ride. I promise you won’t regret it.

Why wet paint?

Most companies powdercoat mountain bikes because it is cheap and tough. We are not most companies. Wet paint is the best finish for a bike. It may not be as tough as powdercoat but with wet paint you get a properly finished bike. With some frame protection tape you don’t need to worry about scratches. If you really want your frame powdercoated we can arrange it. But it will have stickers rather than painted logos.
