Hope Fortus 35 for eMTB?

[Master_G]

Hi all,

Got fed up with the Rovals on my '19 Kenevo, first of all the bearings were lasting about 20 rides, the pawls on the freehub shattered, broken spokes and freehub bearings lasted 6 months.

Just bought myself some Fortus 35's as the stock wheels were 38mm internal and was wondering, apart from the alloy freehub they come with (will change to steel), are these still up to the job of being mounted to an eBike?

Anyone else got the 35's on their bike and report back any issues?!

I know the 30's are eBike rated but internal width was too small and only difference i see is that they have the steel freehub as i know the alloy ones get chewed up on normal bikes anyway.

Thanks,

G.

Been running my 35’s on my Levo for over a year, no issues and ive slammed them around Llandegla more times than i can remember! They’re solid.

Does the freehub look worn (if still using the alloy one)?

I have the Steel hub but no it doesnt

I went for the hope fortus 30, although slimmer they have an additional support section brace inside rather than the 35. I have no interest in running tyres bigger than a 2.6 at the moment though.

I run 2.8s so kinda needed the extra width
