Description
Hope Racing Compound Green replacement pads are selected by caliper shape, not colour alone. Use the model and shape below to choose the matching option.
Choose the matching Hope pad
Hope's current brake pad guide maps the available options as follows:
| Shop option | Hope pad code and shape | Calipers listed by Hope |
|---|---|---|
| E4 | HBSP323 · shape 37 | E4, RX4+, RX4-SH, Mono M4 |
| V4 | HBSP303 · shape 40 | V4, TR4, GR4 |
| X2 | HBSP237 · shape 27 | X2 |
If your caliper is not listed, compare the shape or code on the pads being removed with Hope's brake pad usage guide or confirm the model with us before ordering. Do not infer fitment from the green compound or a similar-looking brake name.
Compound and bedding-in
Hope classifies its green Racing compound as an organic-grade pad and lists XC, Trail/AM, Enduro and DH use. Hope describes it as formulated for increased power, shorter bed-in time and fade resistance; these are the manufacturer's claims, not independent comparative test results. Hope also says new pads need to be bedded in before use. Follow the procedure in the official guide.
Hope's brake pad product information states that pads include a spring clip and pin.
