If there was ever a track to test Hope's new 6-pot calipers on, it was always going to be Andorra. Hope told us they are pretty close to production of these bad boys, in the meantime, what we know is that they feature a radial brake mount and that the caliper float is built into the body itself. The pistons are smaller than on the V4...but there's 6 of them now!

The Barnoldswick boys have also been cooking up some bigger rotors...at 223mm, these definitely go to 11.

The team have got thermo-sensitive stickers deployed, to measure caliper heat build up.
