Hope Union TC Clipless Pedals - Trail/All-Mountain Platform - CNC Machined UK
The Hope Union TC (Trail Clip) Pedals are the mid-platform heroes of Hope's clipless range, meticulously engineered for the demanding terrain of trail and all-mountain riding. Designed and manufactured in Barnoldswick, UK, the Union TC offers an outstanding balance of secure clipping, positive release, and excellent stability thanks to its semi-caged design.
The pedal body is fully CNC-machined from 2014-T6 aluminium billet, providing the legendary strength and vibrant anodised finish Hope is known for. The internals feature three cartridge bearings and a maintenance-free IGUS bush, making them fully serviceable and built for long-term durability in the harshest British conditions.
The unique dual-sided clip mechanism is built from stainless steel and offers highly adjustable spring tension, allowing you to fine-tune the engagement and release force to your exact preference. Uniquely, the pedals are supplied with two proprietary cleat options (4-degree or 5-degree float), along with cleat shims and pins, ensuring maximum contact area between your shoe and the pedal for unbeatable power transfer and stability.
Proprietary Dual Mechanism: Ensures easy, positive pedal entry, secure cleat holding, and a consistent, snappy release.
Optimal Stability: The mid-sized platform features 8 replaceable pins per pedal, providing excellent support and grip whether clipped in or not.
Customisable Float: Supplied with two pairs of stainless steel cleats: No. 4 (4-degree float / 12-degree release) and No. 5 (5-degree float / 13-degree release).
Premium Internals: Runs on three high-quality cartridge bearings and an IGUS bush for smooth, long-term performance.
Fully Serviceable: Designed to be completely rebuildable, protecting your investment for years of riding.
Iconic UK Craftsmanship: CNC machined in Barnoldswick and available in all six signature Hope colours.
