Description
The HOPE Fortus 30 W SC 29" PRO 5 12 x 157 mm Super Boost Black rear wheel pairs the Fortus 30 W SC 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 trail and enduro riding with 2.4 to 2.8-inch tyres.
The welded 6061 T6 aluminium rim has eyelets and a single-cavity construction, with a 20 mm depth 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, or 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 157 mm Super Boost hub spacing, found on some enduro and electric bikes with wide swingarms. The wider spacing allows for more symmetrical spoke lacing, making the wheel laterally stiffer.
Choose the freehub body variant to suit your drivetrain — Microspline, Shimano HG, Shimano HG Steel or Sram XD. It can be removed later.
