Hope Tech XC S-Pull - Pro 4 Straight-Pull 27.5 / 650B Front Wheel

The Hope Tech XC straight-pull 27.5 inch front wheel packs in all the legendary reliability that Hope has been known for over the years into a reasonably priced and ultra-dependable package, perfect for challenging cross country races or trail adventures in the mountains.

British developed and built, Hope Tech hubs are made to take on the rigors of UK riding, with all the slop and wet grit that makes it so special. The new Pro 4 hubs are built in-house at Hope from a forged 2014 T6 aluminium billet and feature larger spoke flanges for stiffer wheels and stainless steel bearings for smooth and dependable rolling.

This 27.5” front wheel is available in 100mm width. It comes with 15mm and QR adaptors, and 20mm and 9mm conversions are available separately, so is convertible to adapt to whichever standard you need.

Hope have designed a lightweight rim, made from 6056 T6 aluminium, and welded for extra strength. The 32 spoke holes are eyeleted to deal with the stresses from the forces of challenging terrain. Completing the build are black, stainless steel Sapim Race/Sprint double butted spokes, and silver brass nipples. The Straight Pull (S-Pull) spoke configuration helps keep spoke tension even across the wheel, helping reliability. This combination allows for the increases security of a stronger wheel, yet keeps the wheels lightweight to help rolling speed.
