The Hope Pro 5 E is the eMTB-spec variant of Hope's top-tier rear hub, purpose-built to handle the increased torque demands of electric mountain bikes. A steel freehub body handles the punishment that would fatigue a standard alloy interface, while the rest of the Pro 5 feature set remains intact.

  • Steel freehub body (Shimano HG, Micro Spline or SRAM XD) withstands sustained eBike motor torque
  • Four pawls and 54 points of engagement, chosen by Hope for durability
  • Zero-drag labyrinth seal for excellent dirt exclusion without drag penalty
  • New pawl and spring design for increased longevity and reduced freehub drag
  • Step-down axle design stiffens the freehub interface under high-torque conditions
  • Revised hub body profile increases stiffness without adding weight
  • Fully serviceable and rebuildable with simple tools

eBikes stress hubs far harder than regular MTBs — higher torque, heavier loads, and more sustained climbing put conventional freehub bodies under pressure. Hope's steel freehub resists the spline notching that can happen with alloy bodies under eBike loads. The rest of the hub draws directly from the Pro 5 platform, including the new sealing and improved pawl geometry.

Fits 148x12mm Boost rear dropouts. Designed for use with compatible eMTB cassette systems on the steel freehub body.

Spoke Count: 32H. This is the only option on this listing.
