The top-spec DH and freeride wheelset from Tune Cycles' handbuilt range — Hope's Fortus 30W rim paired with the brand's latest Pro 5 hub. The big upgrade over the Pro 4 version is engagement: 108 points (3.3°) via a 6-pawl offset design means near-instant power delivery when you need to sprint out of a rough corner or correct your line mid-descent.

  • Hope Fortus 30W rim: 30mm inner width, 21mm depth, 720g (29er), designed for DH and freeride
  • Hope Pro 5 hub: 108-point engagement, zero-drag labyrinth seal, redesigned stiff hub shell
  • Boost 110mm front / Boost, DH, or Super Boost rear — one hub covers all spacing standards via end cap swap
  • Available in 29", 27.5", and 26" rim diameter
  • DT Competition black 32H spokes, Squorx ProLock brass black nipples

The Fortus 30W rim was engineered by Hope for the specific punishment of freeride and downhill — repeated big impacts, high tyre pressures, and the kind of loads that stress-test everything in the build. The Pro 5's new hub shell profile and step-down axle design add stiffness over the Pro 4 without adding weight, and the zero-drag labyrinth seal keeps the hub running cleanly even in the worst conditions.

Compatible with Boost, DH (150mm), and Super Boost (157mm) rear spacing via swappable end caps. Multiple freehub body options available. Handbuilt in Australia by Tune Cycles.
