Built for the extra torque and weight of an e-MTB, the Hope Fortus 30 E-Bike rear wheel pairs a wide 30mm alloy rim with Hope's e-bike-specific Pro 5 hub and a steel freehub body – machine built and hand finished in Barnoldswick, England.

Highlights

  • Pro 5 E-Bike hub with a steel freehub body for durability under motor torque
  • 54 points of engagement from an updated 4-pawl design with wire-cut high-strength steel pawls
  • 30mm internal rim width, optimised for 2.4"–2.8" tyres
  • 148 x 12mm Boost, 6-bolt disc mount
  • Tubeless ready – 32mm tape, valve and wipe included

E-bike-specific Pro 5 hub

The Pro 5 E-Bike hub trades outright engagement for strength: an updated 4-pawl ratchet gives 54 points of engagement, the pawls are wire cut from high-strength steel, and a step-down axle design makes for a stiffer, more durable freehub. Hope's zero-drag labyrinth seal keeps dirt out, and the hub is fully serviceable and rebuildable.

Fortus 30 rim

The welded, triple-cavity 6061-T6 aluminium rim has eyelets for spoke-bed strength, a 30mm internal width (35mm external) and a 23mm profile, laced 32-hole J-bend with black Sapim Race double-butted stainless spokes and silver brass nipples.
