Description
The HOPE Fortus 30 W 29" PRO 5 Trial / Single-Speed 12 x 135 mm Silver rear wheel combines the Fortus 30 W aluminium rim with the Pro 5 hub. It is machine-built and then hand-finished by Hope in Barnoldswick, England. Its 30 mm internal width makes it suitable for enduro, downhill and electric mountain bikes, with tyres from 2.4 to 2.8 inches wide.
The rim is made from welded 6061 T6 aluminium with eyelets. It has a triple-cavity construction, a 23 mm profile and a 35 mm external width. It comes with 32 mm tubeless rim tape, a valve and a preparation wipe. Hope recommends a maximum pressure of 55 PSI (4.1 bar).
The wheel has 32 black double-butted Sapim Race spokes with J-bend heads and brass nipples. The Pro 5 hub uses Hope’s pawl mechanism, with a 54-tooth ratchet and six offset pawls providing 108 engagement points, or 3.33° between engagements, compared with 44 points on the Pro 4. The sealed stainless-steel cartridge bearings are replaceable.
This version has a single-sprocket freehub body without cassette splines: one sprocket is fitted and held in place by spacers. This set-up is used for trials, dirt jumping and single-speed riding, and allows for a much more symmetrical spoke pattern.
Choose the Single Speed freehub body from the variants to suit your drivetrain; it can also be removed later.
