Crafted in Barnoldswick, UK, from aerospace-grade aluminium, the Hope Dropper Lever Clamp provides a rock-solid, minimalist mounting option for your cockpit. Specifically designed for standard 22.2mm mountain bike handlebars, this hinged clamp band allows you to mount your Hope Dropper Remote or SRAM-compatible shifter independently when direct-mounting to brake master cylinders is not preferred or supported.
Engineered with Hope's signature attention to detail, the clamp features a lightweight profile that saves cockpit space without flexing under heavy thumb actuation. Finished in a durable anodised black with laser-etched detailing, it delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and a clean aesthetic that seamlessly integrates into any handlebar setup.
Precision CNC Machined Construction: Manufactured in the UK from high-strength aluminium for ultimate durability and flex-free lever response.
Broad Compatibility: Designed specifically to mount Hope Dropper Levers as well as SRAM MatchMaker-compatible trigger shifters directly to 22.2mm handlebars.
Durable Anodised Finish: High-grade black anodisation protects against weather, sweat, and trail abrasion while maintaining a sleek, premium look.
Clamp Diameter: 22.2mm (standard MTB handlebar sizing)
Material: CNC-machined aluminium
Colour: Black
Interface Compatibility: Hope Dropper Lever, SRAM MatchMaker / MMX shifters
Weight: N/A
✅ Independent Cockpit Setup: Perfect if you run non-Hope brake levers or prefer positioning your dropper remote separately from your brake levers.
✅ MatchMaker / SRAM Compatible: Works seamlessly with SRAM trigger shifters and MMX-compatible dropper remotes.
✅ Built to Last: Heavy-duty British CNC construction ensures zero flex and long-lasting durability through harsh riding conditions.
❌ Direct-Mount Enthusiasts: If you run Hope Tech 3, Tech 4, or SRAM brakes, you may prefer a direct-mount MatchMaker adapter for an integrated setup.
❌ Non-Standard Handlebars: Only fits standard 22.2mm grip-area diameters and will not fit directly onto 31.8mm or 35mm stem clamp zones.
❌ Budget-Conscious Builds: Higher price point compared to basic stamped steel or plastic aftermarket bar clamps.
When installing the clamp on carbon handlebars, always use a friction paste (carbon assembly gel) on the inner band surface and use a torque wrench to tighten the fixing bolt strictly to 2–3 Nm. This prevents any unwanted slippage under aggressive thumb pressure without risking crushing your carbon bars!
