The Pro 4 proved to be one of the most reliable and versatile hubs on the market. The Pro 5 builds on this with improvements throughout, 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 when compared with the Pro 4. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother big update comes in 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 \u0026amp; 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved sealing to stop dirt ingress and to reduce drag \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Labyrinth seal has zero drag for incredible freewheeling performance \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Pawls\/Springs design to increase longevity, load capacity \u0026amp; a reduction of drag. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased engagement from 44 to 108 with a new offset 6 pawl freehub design \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire cut pawls from high strength steel for maximum strength. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew step down axle design for a stiffer more durable freehub \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew hub body profile for increased stiffness without adding weight \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbike Specific hub designed for the demands of ebikes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully serviceable and rebuildable with simple tools \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable with all modern freehub bodies \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd spacers can be easily swapped to suit different frame and axle standards \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 bolt or Centrelock disc fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hope","offers":[{"title":"Shimano","offer_id":48058894549233,"sku":"HOCRLP4HG5","price":125.65,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/1580\/4145\/files\/zm_20240206-052341.jpg?v=1776540568","url":"https:\/\/novasportsbikes.com\/products\/hope-pro-5-freewheel-body-1","provider":"Nova Sports Bikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
