Hope Fortus 30W Pro 4 Wheelset - Durable British-Made MTB 30mm Internal Width on Pro 4 Hubs
The Hope Fortus 30 W wheelset, paired with the legendary Hope Pro 4 Hubs, is an iconic British-made combination renowned for its strength, reliability, and distinctive, loud freehub sound.
The Hope Fortus 30 W Pro 4 Wheelset is the definition of a rugged, reliable, and entirely serviceable mountain bike wheel. Hand-built and assembled in Barnoldswick, UK, this combination is the go-to choice for riders prioritising durability and long-term performance across harsh terrain.
The Fortus 30W (Wide) rim is a robust, welded 6061T6 aluminium rim designed for modern trail, all-mountain, and Enduro riding. The 30mm internal width provides excellent support for modern wide-casing tyres (2.3in to 2.6in), optimising the tyre profile for better cornering grip and lower rolling resistance. Its bead hook is designed for secure tyre retention and easy tubeless setup.
The legendary Hope Pro 4 Hub is the heart of this wheelset, instantly recognisable by its distinct, loud buzz. Key features include:
High Engagement: Features a 4-pawl ratchet system with 44 points of engagement, resulting in 8.2 degrees of freehub engagement. This provides near-instantaneous power transfer when starting to pedal or ratcheting through technical terrain.
Reliability: Built with sealed stainless steel cartridge bearings throughout for maximum durability and weather resistance.
Adaptability: The Pro 4 is famous for its wide range of end caps and driver bodies, making it easily adaptable to different frame and cassette standards (HG, XD, Microspline).
The entire wheelset is laced with high-quality, reliable Sapim Race double-butted spokes and brass nipples, ensuring maximum stiffness and ease of truing.
