Wheels built around bombproof Hope Pro 5 hubs, machine built then hand finished in Barnoldswick using no nonsense, standard J-bend Sapim Race Stainless Steel spokes and silver brass nipples.
The wheels are available with a choice of Fortus rims, from 23 mm up to 35 mm internal width. Hub options include every mountain bike size we've ever heard of. (NB Images show the Shimano HG freehubs.)
The 30W Single Cavity rim option is a bit lighter than our best-selling Hope triple cavity 30W option. The 30W SC fits in the Hope range at about the same place as the XM 481 fits in the DT Swiss range. If you don't need wheels that can take DH runs, or if you are fairly light, these are worth considering.
If you ride a modern enduro or trail bike using 2.4"-2.8" tyres, this is probably the size you require.
