Details Revealed for Hope's New HB912 120mm Trail Bike - Core Bike 2026

Hope Technology has unveiled initial details for their new HB912 trail bike, showcased at the recent Core Bike 2026 event. The highly anticipated model features 120mm of rear wheel travel, positioning it squarely in the burgeoning short-travel trail category. While full specifications remain under wraps, the announcement confirms Hope’s continued expansion beyond their renowned componentry into complete bicycle manufacturing, with the HB912 set to become their latest offering.

This move is significant given Hope’s meticulous, in-house manufacturing ethos and their previous limited-run HB series bikes, which have cultivated a cult following. The 120mm travel segment is increasingly competitive, with brands vying for riders seeking efficiency without sacrificing capability. For Hope, this isn't just another bike; it's a statement of intent, leveraging their component expertise to deliver a cohesive, British-made package that aims to stand apart from mass-produced alternatives.

Another Hope bike, another meticulously engineered statement. One can only assume the wait for this one, like its predecessors, will be inversely proportional to its eventual availability.
