The Hope Pro4 hubs offer a great bang for your buck. It's a short term solution but when they start getting loud again, apply some Dumonde Tech freehub oil. If you want to quiet them down, just put more freehub oil in the hub. With the Hopes, they hear the buzzing of the rear hub and don't get spooked because we aren't sneaking upon them. I normally ride with a bell to alert hikers and other riders on the trails that I'm around the corner.

Now the sound of the Hope Pro 4 hub is loud, no doubt about that. My buddy and I have been on ours for a little over a year and the hubs are still smooth and spin freely. Dust and dirt are the enemies here so the seals have to do their job or the bearing get crunchy. Our riding environment is rocky technical, loose over hard southwest desert riding. His normal rides are around 10 to 12 miles for reference. We did a 19-mile ride in rough and rocky terrain and he was able to keep up. Plus, lighter rolling mass makes for a less fatiguing ride. The engagement on the Hopes is better than the Novatecs so technical climbing was made easier. The lower rolling weight made for easier acceleration and a snappier ride. He felt the difference immediately after the first ride. On our scale, the Hope build saved almost a pound compared to the old set which had the low-end Novatec hubs and WTB ST i29 rims. We were aiming to make it lighter and stronger than the OEM set. This wheelset will be replacing his OEM wheels on the Santa Cruz Nomad 4. On this build, my brother wanted the Hope Pro 4 boost hubs laced to Stans Flow MK3 27.5 rims, Sapim Race double-butted black spokes, and black brass nipples for durability. They are lightweight as well, around 181 grams for the front and 311 grams for the rear. The engagement is spot on at 44 points of engagement which equals 8.4 degrees. You have an array of anodized colors to choose from. The cost is about 20 to 30 percent less than other high-end options. Not only is the fit and finish on the Hope Pro4 hubs top-notch, but the value on these is incredible. Obviously, my brother kept hearing my buddy and I raving about how great these hubs are so he had to try a set for himself. One was for myself, the second was for my buddy, and this current is for my brother. This is the third set I have built up in the last year. The Hope Pro 4 boost hubs have been my go-to for a reliable wheel build for a few years. In this review, our customer Lee builds up a custom set of wheels with some black Hope Pro 4 hubs. Their Pro 4 hubs are a great option if you are looking for something that is affordable and very well made. Hope Tech is a relatively small brand out of the UK that produces insanely beautiful components and parts. They contain the photos, thoughts, feedback & overall review you are looking for.
