I looked at the Hope RX4+ 4-piston disc brake callipers nearly two years ago and it's time to revisit that discussion. The reason is simply something I often repeat in my reviews: I don't like to descend.
If I had to call out a particular product category, it tends to come up the most often when I am covering something from our best road bike wheels. Wheels, especially deep aero wheels, have an outsized effect on descending stability because of the constant redirection of wind as you come around a curve. Still, it's hardly limited to that placement. Every time I test a new bike or tyre, descending capabilities are something I pay attention to.
