IOC rules mean BC aren't allowed to contribute too much to the development, the equipment has to be commercial, whatever that means.
FES, Corima/Look and UKSI have been using 65mm front hub width for a while, I wonder if this Hope one is the same which would make the forks looks even wider?
Hope need to make them commercially viable to recoup their costs. Much cheaper than the UKSI but still wont be cheap.
