HOPE rear wheel 29" E-Bike Fortus 30W | Pro 5 6-hole | 12x148 mm Boost | black
Install, ride and forget about it. Hope components have always been synonymous with durability and robustness. The latest generation of their wheels is in no way inferior. You can really let it rip with them and even the occasional riding mistake will be forgiven.
The Fortus rims in particular, with their multi-chamber construction, contribute to their indestructibility. Made from high-quality 6061 T6 aluminum, they can accommodate tires up to 2.8" wide with their enormous inner width of 30 mm. This provides additional grip and comfort. The welded ends ensure a perfect look and increased stability. The reinforced rim flange can withstand even heavier punctures without damage and, of course, the Fortus can be converted for tubeless use. A set of rim tape and valve is already included in the scope of delivery.
The Pro 5 e-bike hubs from the English cult manufacturer from Barnoldswick are at the center. The experience gained from 30 years of designing and manufacturing high-quality drive elements has been incorporated into their development with the aim of improving proven technology to meet the demands of current and future bicycle technology.
The design of the rear hub differs significantly from its predecessor, with an enlarged body that generates more rigidity without increasing the weight. This is noticeable above all in a significantly more direct ride. At the same time, the diameter of the spoke flange has been increased, making it easier to build very stable wheels.
The highlight of the rear wheel hub is the new freewheel system with 6 pawls. All six are engaged simultaneously when riding and can absorb and distribute the high power of the e-bike drive evenly. In addition, the freehub toothing has been increased from 44 (Pro 4) to 54 teeth, which results in a low free travel of only 6.66°. In contrast to the "normal version", the freehub body of the special E-bike hubs is made of steel, which results in less wear and a significantly longer service life.
The hub can withstand negative external influences for a long time, thanks to the high-quality anodization and the very well-sealed stainless steel industrial bearings. Should the ravages of time take their toll on the hub, it can be dismantled and serviced with little effort. It can also be easily converted to a different hub standard.
Sapim Race spokes are used to connect the rim and hub. These classic round spokes have a butted center section and provide more damping than straight spokes. They are also better able to withstand high load peaks. The Race spokes enable very stiff and stable wheels for practically every area of use.
