Hope Tech Enduro-Pro 2 EVO wheels


HOPE'S PENNINE EVOLVED and manufactured Pro 2 EVO hubs are legendary for their sealing quality, easy any-axle versatility and 'above and beyond the call of duty' factory-direct back-up. The latest models have a quieter, faster reacting freehub too.

The new Hope-designed Tech Erduro rims have impressed so far as well. They're wide enough to shoulder any tyre with confidence or plump up skinnier rubber, and they inflate tubeless easily if you get the optional rim tape and valve kit.

Weight is noticeably high though, and the Lancashire hand-build quality isn't up to par - all our recent Hope wheels have lost spoke tension and gone baggy quickly, with this set noticeably soft after just three hours of hard riding.

Rim: 23/28mm
Freehub lag: 9°
Tubeless type: resdy
Sizes: 26in, 650b, 29in
Options: QR/15/20mm F, QR135x10/135x12mm R
XD: Yes

PRICE 560$
