Pros: Bombroof aluminium rims built up on quality hubs and with brass nipples. They are built to last and take a beating.

Cons: Strength and durability does come at a cost. These are not the lightest wheels out there so weight weenies might want to look elsewhere. Loud hubs aren't for everyone. If you do find that they are too loud you can always pack some extra grease into the freehub to quiet things down a bit.

    A great wheel

    I wanted a second set of decent wheels so I could use the cheaper versions that came with my bike for road tyres. These appeared at a great price on MTB direct, so I jumped at the chance.

    The Hope Fortus series are a solid wheel and I think the sound is fine, so didn't see a need to pack them full of grease as mentioned in the description.

    I was stoked when they arrived!

    Hope setup is awesome

    This is got to be my favourite wheel that I've ever owned, I've been through a few and so far, after a month of testing, it's great. Strong rim and fast hub. The hope pro 4 hub has a unique sound that everyone can recognise when flying through the air. And it's fast, the hub is perfect

    I highly recommend this hope setup for downhill and dirt jumps and even just a day at the bike park with the kids. It's strong enough to take a big hit and nimble enough to pop out a trick or 2

    Just buy it!
