I loved my Hope Tech3 V4s when they were well bled and functioning properly but found them to be the most frustrating and annoying bleed I've ever had to do, and I did them countless times. While one could largely pin the blame on me for not being very good at it, I had poor results from shops as well if they weren't extremely well versed in servicing Hope brakes specifically. (Shout out to BikeCo in Whistler for being the best I've encountered) Nothing bleeds quite as easily as a Shimano brake, but I've happily settled on Maguras for the power, feel, and "easy enough" bleeding.
