Hope Fortus 35W Pro 4 27.5-Inch Boost Rear Wheel

Hope complete wheels feature components of the highest quality to meet the demands of the world’s hardest-going riders. Manufactured, assembled and tested here in the UK, quality control is stringent, and the less than perfect UK conditions definitely put the parts through their paces before they hit the shelves.

The Fortus rim is the successor to the Tech rim, with diameters and widths to suit virtually all mountain bikes. Tweaks have been made to measurements and extrusions have been improved throughout the range, and now replaceable coloured decals let you customise to suit the rest of your loadout.

The Fortus 35W is Hope’s widest rim. Designed for 2.5″-3.0″ wide tyres, it spaces out the sidewalls of the tyre for increased tread contact, and reduces the tyre’s ability to roll off the rim for more predictable cornering.

Built onto the ever popular Pro 4 hub, which features a CNC’d Aluminium shell and axle with precision sealed cartridge bearings for ultimate durability and lightning speed. Shimano/SRAM and SRAM XD freehub options allow any MTB drivetrain to be run.
