Hopey Steering Damper
The best bicycle steering damper in the worldÂE
With the hopey bicycle steering damper, Downhill racers experience enhanced stability, improved cornering, and a far less fatiguing ride. This is because the steering damper absorbs the hits that throw the bike off line. XC riders and Roadies share the same benefits, plus, find that the damper helps with climbing. Technical climbs are easier, you hold your line and won't need to step off as often. Power climbs are more efficient, since more or your energy input is directed straight forward.
What does it do?
The hopey stabilizes the handlebars for increased control and more efficient pedaling.
How does it work?
The hopey is a hydraulic rotary damper that locks inside the steer tube. As the handlebars turn, a paddle inside the damper pushes oil through a hole thus creating damping. A unique valving system, produces damping as the handlebars turn away from center but eliminates damping as the handlebars return back to center (free return).
Why does this help?
Rake and trail... A bicycle is designed to stand up and pull the front wheel straight. The rake and trail of the front end is what makes this happen. The hopey enhances this trait and helps both bike and rider stay smooth and straight. Climb easier & crash less
