Maybe if you are using a whopping great rotor with the E4 then the inside position is workable.
But yeah. Weird.
OK. Not that weird. If you google image search the calipers it shows that either position is workable - you just pick the one that works for your frame geo / mount / and rotor size

I've spoken to Hope and it's now their practice to mount the banjo inboard, to give it more protection.
Which makes sense I suppose. But using the same banjo doesn't: the caliper would need to be mounted at 3 o'clock for it to route the hose up the leg.
The guy at Hope suggested fitting a straight banjo, which is pretty poor having just spent
~£250 with them.

No, I take your word for it.
Just looked on the Hope site and the Tech 3 X2 (my rear) is set-up with the banjo on the outside.
But the Tech 3 E4 (my front) is the other way around.
WTFIGO?
