Description
The HOPE RX24 700C PRO 5 Standard 12x148mm Boost 24-Spoke Rear Wheel – Purple combines the RX24 aluminium rim with the Pro 5 hub. It is designed and assembled by Hope in Barnoldswick, England. This 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 tubeless tyres from 32 to 50 mm, and up to 60 mm for larger-volume setups. It comes pre-taped, with an aluminium tubeless valve matched to the hub colour. Hope states a maximum system weight of 130 kg, including bike and luggage.
This wheel uses J-bend spokes, the most widely used standard: any workshop can supply a replacement spoke, an important consideration for a touring bike. The black double-butted Sapim Race spokes and brass nipples prioritise durability over saving a few grams, in keeping with the wheel’s intended use.
The Pro 5 hub uses Hope’s pawl-based design, with a 54-tooth ratchet and six offset pawls providing 108 engagement points, or 3.33° between engagements. The bearings are replaceable, and most wear parts remain available individually.
Choose the freehub body variant to suit your drivetrain — Microspline, Shimano HG or Sram XDR. The freehub body can also be removed later.
Wheel sold individually. Choose the disc mount variant: 6-bolt or Centerlock.
