HOPE Pro-4 Nabe im Video

From our very first Ti-glide hubs launched back in 1993 we’ve have had a reputation for producing some of the most durable and high quality hubs on the market. The mainstays of this reputation has been our attention to detail in both the bearings we use and our inspection processes. All bearings are from world renowned manufacturers to ensure the highest quality. Also every hub shell, freehub and axle produced in our Barnoldswick factory has all bearing diameters rigorously checked to ensure no unnecessary loads or pressures are placed on the bearings.

Hope are one of those company’s where people are key. Steel City Media visited the Hope Factory to meet the people involved in designed and developing the hubs. This short film, “Behind the Hub” highlights the key stages of manufacturing and assembly involved to bring you that infamous click….

There are several improvements we’ve introduced on the Pro 4 hubs. They now use a 44 tooth ratchet mechanism which gives a 10% quicker engagement over the Pro 2 EVO. Also with the move to larger wheel sizes we’ve increased the flange diameter, adding important stiffness to wheel builds, even with non Boost width hubs. The final change is on the Shimano compatible freehubs which will be supplied ready to take 11sp cassettes.

PS: Die erste Lieferung der neuen PRO-4 Naben erwarten wir hier in der Schweiz ca im Februar....
