Description
The HOPE RX24 700C Pro 5 Standard front wheel 12 x 110 mm Boost 32 spokes Smoke pairs the RX24 aluminium rim with the Pro 5 hub. Designed and assembled by Hope in Barnoldswick, England, it is the brand's versatile gravel wheel: low-profile, robust and repairable, built for long-distance trails and bikepacking as well as weekend rides.
The rim is made from welded 6069 aluminium, shot-blasted and then anodised black, with neutral grey decals. Its 24 mm internal width and 23 mm profile accommodate 32 to 50 mm tyres set up tubeless, and up to 60 mm tyres on higher-volume builds. It comes taped, with an aluminium tubeless valve matching the hub colour. Hope states a maximum system weight of 130 kg, including bike and luggage.
This wheel uses J-bend spokes, the most common standard: any bike workshop can supply a replacement spoke, which matters on a touring bike. The black double-butted Sapim Race spokes and brass nipples prioritise durability over saving a few grams, a choice that suits the intended use.
The Pro 5 hub uses Hope’s own pawl mechanism, with a 54-tooth ratchet ring and six offset pawls providing 108 engagement points, or 3.33° between engagements. The bearings are replaceable, and most wear parts remain available individually.
Wheel sold individually. Choose the disc rotor mounting option from the available variants: 6-bolt or Centerlock.
