The EX511-Pro 5e is built specifically for eMTB riders who want the same proven enduro rim construction as our standard EX511 builds, but with a hub and spoke spec upgraded to handle the extra demands of motor-assisted riding. The Hope Pro 5e hub features a reinforced freehub body designed specifically for the higher drivetrain torque loads generated by eMTB motors, while Alpine III triple-butted spokes in the rear add an extra margin of strength where it's needed most.

  • DT Swiss EX511: 30mm inner width, tubeless ready, EWS-proven alloy rim
  • Hope Pro 5e eMTB-specific hub: reinforced freehub body, 108-point engagement (3.3°)
  • Zero-drag labyrinth seal for efficient freewheeling and extended bearing life
  • DT Alpine III triple-butted rear spokes handle the higher torque loads of eMTB use
  • Boost 110/148mm axle spacing; swappable freehub and end caps

The Pro 5e shares the same improvements over the Pro 4 as the standard Pro 5 — faster engagement, lower drag, stiffer shell — with the added reinforcement to handle repeated motor torque pulses that can stress standard freehub interfaces over time.

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