Wheels built around Hope’s bombproof Pro 5 hubs, machine built then hand finished in Barnoldswick using no nonsense, standard J-bend Sapim Race Stainless Steel spokes with silver brass nipples. The wheels are available with a choice of Fortus rims, from 23 mm up to 35 mm internal width.
Hub options include every mountain bike size we’ve ever heard of!
The 30W rim is our best-selling Hope option, if you ride a modern enduro or trail bike using 2.4″-2.8″ tyres this is probably the size you need. We see the Fortus 30W as a comparable rim to the DT Swiss EX 511, up to the DH end of Enduro riding.
