WHEELS DUKE FURY STAR HD / HOPE PRO5 IS

The Fury Star HD is an aluminum rim designed for intensive use in Enduro and DH. Its internal width is 28.5mm. The rim is also compatible with E-bike.
These rims are used in the Enduro World Series and in the DH World Cup by the Team Commençal – Les Orres, the Team Scott SR-Suntour and by many other riders.

It is characterized by a lateral rigidity adapted to this use and offers an excellent strenght. The weight remains contained thanks to its profile and the Dynamal aluminum used.
This rim features a new modern lower and wider geometry with an asymmetric profile and hookless sidewalls.
A large tire and rim width reduces inflation pressures. This improves performance on dry ground, comfort, grip and limits the rolling effects of the tire under the rim in the downforce.
The rim holes are off-centered (offset), which allows the spoke brace angle to be further closed. Thus the rim is more stable and the lateral rigidity of the wheel is increased.
The tensions of the spokes between the two layers are more balanced, which guarantees better durability of the wheel.
The hookless walls (without hook) make it possible both to reinforce the rim and to reduce its weight. Anti-burp system: the tire bead is kept in position whatever its pressure, no risk of coming off the rim.

HOPE PRO 5

Building on Hope’s 30+ years of manufacturing hubs, the Pro 5 proved to be one of the most reliable and versatile hubs on the market offering the right balance between speed of pick-up, load capacity, durability and drag.
One of the key design objectives for the Pro 5 was the reduction of drag in the drive mechanism. This has real world riding benefits and was achieved by upgrading the sealing with a new zero drag labyrinth seal, and an improved ratchet and pawl system, with new springs. Both greatly reduce drag as well as increase durability and load capacity.
Another big advantage comes in the Points of Engagement (POE 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, and in real-world terms gives a speedy feel on the trail whilst keeping crank movement to an acceptable level without compromising the free running of the hub or its reliability.
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.
As with every product made at Hope durability and longevity are key. Everything about the Pro 5 has been considered, and tested to work in the worst conditions possible from seals to bearings….And eventually if something does wear out 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.
Completely new for the Pro 5 is the option of Centrelock disc fitting and an e-bike specific hub that comes with a freehub tailor made for the stresses and strains of e-bike use.
