Upgrade your eMTB rear wheel or build a Mullet conversion with the DT Swiss FR541 Hope Pro 5e rear wheel — the eMTB-specific Pro 5e hub laced to DT Swiss' freeride-grade FR541 rim, handbuilt at Tune Cycles.

  • Hope Pro 5e eMTB rear hub — purpose-designed freehub for electric bike torque demands
  • 108 POE via offset 6-pawl design, zero-drag labyrinth seal
  • DT Swiss FR541 alloy rim — 30mm internal, reinforced for freeride and eMTB use
  • DT Competition spokes and Squorx Prolock nipples — thread-locked for lasting tension

The Hope Pro 5e rear hub is built specifically for eMTB use. The freehub body is engineered to handle the sustained high-torque loads that mid-drive motors transmit through the drivetrain — a weak point in standard hubs under electric assist. The 108-point engagement provides near-instant response when power is applied, and the zero-drag labyrinth seal keeps the hub clean and free-running in all conditions.

Compatible with Boost 12x148mm rear frames. Specify freehub body (Microspline, XD or HG) and rotor mount standard (6-bolt or Centrelock) when ordering. Rim diameter also available in 29" or 27.5".

Hope Technology hubs are backed by a lifetime warranty. DT Swiss rims carry a 5-year warranty. Warranty claims for this product should be directed to Tune Cycles. Return the item to us with proof of purchase and we will manage the warranty process with the brand on your behalf.
