Description
The HOPE Fortus 30 W SC 29" PRO 5 12 x 148 mm Boost Silver rear wheel pairs a Fortus 30 W SC aluminium rim with a 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 tyres from 2.4 to 2.8 inches wide.
The rim is made from welded 6061 T6 aluminium with eyelets and has a single-cavity construction, 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 (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.
Choose the freehub body variant to suit your drivetrain — Microspline, Shimano HG, Shimano HG Steel or SRAM XD. The freehub body can also be removed later.
