Hidden in plain sight here at the Les Gets World Cup is a very potent-looking trail bike prototype from the lads and ladies at Hope Technology.
What looks to be a 120mm travel, 29″ wheeled Hope prototype is on display at their sand here at the Les Gets World Cup. The team from Barnoldswick are remaining tight-lipped about the bike so we’ve only got what we can deduce.
The frame is a full raw carbon frame like the other Hope offerings. The rocker and hardware are all the usual Hope CNC alloy fare. The bike itself is built with a Rockshox Lyrik Ultimate and a Super Deluxe Ultimate rear shock, SRAM GX gears, and the unsurprising smattering of Hope kit.
It’s clear that this is a rideable prototype as there’s some Morzine dirt in the nooks of the frame. There’s currently no release date and this is bike one of one.
