Expirience with the Hope HB 916

Ludwig Döhl Even Obelix knew that the British are crazy. There's no other way to explain why a small forge from Branoldswick is trying to defy the laws of the global market economy. Because the HB 916 is not only designed in England, but also manufactured there. With a 63,2 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. When it comes to the seating position, Hope chooses the middle ground between sporty and comfortable. For trail lovers, one point dominates: the HB 916 scores in the decent with an extremely good geometry, a high-quality suspension and grippy tires.
