A purpose-built eMTB rear wheel for riders replacing a worn-out stock wheel or converting a non-eMTB build to handle motor-assisted use. The EX511-Pro 5e rear uses the same reinforced hub and heavy-duty spoke spec as the full eMTB wheelset — just without the need to replace a still-functional front wheel.

  • DT Swiss EX511: 30mm inner width, tubeless ready, proven enduro alloy rim
  • Hope Pro 5e eMTB-specific rear hub: reinforced freehub body, 108-point engagement (3.3°)
  • Zero-drag labyrinth seal; swappable freehub and end caps for compatibility flexibility
  • DT Alpine III triple-butted spokes handle sustained motor torque loads
  • Squorx ProLock brass nipples throughout

The reinforced Pro 5e freehub body is the key upgrade over standard hub builds — the higher, more sustained torque loads from eMTB motors can cause premature wear on standard freehub interfaces. Alpine III triple-butted spokes in a 32H build add the tensile strength to match.

Compatible with Boost 148mm eMTB frames. Freehub options: Shimano HG, Shimano Microspline (12-speed), SRAM XD. Handbuilt in Australia by Tune Cycles.
