Hope HB.130 trail bike short test
Hope, the English expert for aluminium milled parts, is celebrating its complete bike premiere right at the beginning of 2020. We rode the Hope HB.130 right away.
The high-end forge Hope is known for its elaborately milled add-on parts. Now the English company is also manufacturing two complete bikes in Barnoldswick. The HB130 aims to make trail bikers happy. What makes it special: Hope laminates the main frame from carbon fibre, the chain stays are milled from aluminium and the hollow aluminium seat stays are bonded to the milled dropouts.
Price 7,500 euros (frame 4,700 euros)
You can find out whether the classy, expensive, exclusive Hope HB.130 also performs well in practice in the test, which you can download as a PDF below.
You can find the complete individual test including all data, points tables and grades in BIKE 1/2020.
