Description
The HOPE Fortus 35 W 27.5" PRO 5 12 x 148 mm Boost Red rear wheel pairs the Fortus 35 W aluminium rim with the Pro 5 hub. It is machine-built and then hand-finished by Hope in Barnoldswick, England. Its 35 mm internal width makes it suitable for enduro and trail riding on high-volume 2.5 to 3.0-inch tyres.
The rim is made from welded 6061 T6 aluminium with eyelets and has an 18.5 mm depth and a 40 mm external width. It comes with 37 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.
