Description
The HOPE Fortus 26 W 26" PRO 5 12 x 135/142 mm rear wheel in orange pairs the Fortus 26 W aluminium rim with the Pro 5 hub. It is machine-built and then hand-finished by Hope in Barnoldswick, England. Its 26 mm internal width makes it suitable for trail and enduro riding with 2.25 to 2.5-inch tyres.
The welded 6061 T6 aluminium rim has eyelets, a 20 mm depth and a 31 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.
