In the UK yes - I am sure you are right.
But in mainland Europe Hope can be pretty invisible. In my part of Denmark, I've only ever seen some floating rotors on anyone other than my own bike - but no brakes, hubs, headsets or anything. Tune and KCNC have Hope's segment pretty sewn up (with bad stitching IMHO).
I'm currently selling it as a niche product, believe it or not. Just sold the first set of brakes yesterday (replacing a pair of seized Hayes Ryde) - and expect the guy to be blown away by them when he picks up the bike tomorrow. Nobody has really heard of Hope here though, TBH.
