These wheels are a great upgrade for your off the shelf MTB.  We spec these to be a jack-of-all trades, focusing on the 32 spoke hub size and insider tip... Trek, Giant & Specialized often use the 350 hub internals for their top end OEM wheels. 

This makes it a great upgrade choice for dual suspensions under $8k that typically come with 3-pawl hubs and lack the engagement and servicability of the star ratchet system.

You can choose the axle and rotor mounts to match your frame and a compatible rim width and diametre to suit.  Please note that if you're looking for a a wheel with the little bit extra then the DT 240 hub is worth the little bit extra.

Hope Pro 4 Boost 32H Hubset

With a time tested reputation for bullet proof quality and reliability, Hope brings the advantages of Boost to their benchmark disc compatible rear hub. The 6mm wider rear Boost standard means the bracing angles of the spokes in wheelbuild are improved, so that complete wheel stiffness, efficiency and strength is increased significantly.

DT Swiss Sleeved Aluminium Rims

These rims bring the tech of DT's all conquoring Enduro rims to an affordable price by using a sleeved rim join.  an All of these rims share the same technology.  What differers is the rim width to suit different tyre widths.
