HOPE, the famous English brand of Barnoldswick unveiled on its stand during the Eurobike 2015, a beautiful cassette which will be available for sale mid-January 2016. This cassette is a “long term development project". Based on the confidential steel DH cassette, HOPE products range offers two (not to say three or four?) new cassettes: A 10-speeds and an 11 speeds cassettes. (see pictures at the bottom of this page).
The first part is constituted of seven sprockets (10-12-14-16-18-21-24) machined in a single piece of hardened stainless steel. This is the masterpiece and you will understand, by the use of hardened stainless steel, that it is strong and resistant ready ride over time (and probably it was long tested in wet conditions under an unpredictable "English weather" ).
