HOPE Pro 5 12x142mm 32H Rear Hub

The Hope Pro 5 is the culmination of 30+ years experience manufacturing hubs. While it’s predecessor the Pro 4 was known for it’s reliable construction, the Pro 5 builds on this with improvements throughout, offering the right balance between speed of pick-up, load capacity, durability, and drag. 

Hope prioritized a reducing drag in the drive mechanism by utilizing a zero drag labyrinth seal, and an improved ratchet and pawl system, with new springs. The Pro 5 features an increase in the points of engagement (from 44 to 108) using an offset 6 pawl freehub design, where 3 pawls are engaged at any time. This achieves the right balance between speed of pick-up, load capacity, drag & durability. Externally the shell takes a new profile to add stiffness without adding weight whilst housing a new axle design enabling the use of bigger bearings in a better arrangement to fit the latest freehub standards whilst increasing load capacity. 

The Pro 5 is fully serviceable and rebuildable with simple tools, or if you need to change drivetrain standards one hub works with everything. So swapping freehubs is easily done, and changing end caps to suit different frame and fork axle standards future proofing your wheels.
