We had to wait for it, but it’s worth it, the HB912 by HOPE. A short-travel trailbike that might be the only bike you’ll ever need. To ride and to admire.

The HB912 is built for fast trail-riding, whether up-or downhill. The modern trail geometry and the 130/120 mm of travel offer the right ingredients for fast climbs and confident descends. An adjustable 65–66° head angle allows riders to tune the bike’s handling to suit their riding style, and the steep 77.5° seat tube angle keeps pedalling efficient and comfortable. 

The carbon fibre frame is designed and manufactured at the HOPE factory in Barnoldswick, UK. The front triangle is constructed in one piece while the chain and seat stays are a hybrid construction of aluminium to fit the pivot bearings perfectly. The matching high-quality HOPE components are a feast to the eye, as could be expected.

The HB912 is available as frameset, either in green or carbon look, and as complete builds featuring a SRAM XO drivetrain and a RockShox Pike Ultimate 130 mm front suspension. Of course, a full HOPE finishing kit is included.

Price* frameset: from £3.950 (including RS Ultimate shock, headset and BB)

Price* complete build: from £7950.00
