The Hope Pro 4 boost hubs have been my go-to for a reliable wheel build for a few years. This is the third set I have built up in the last year. One was for myself, the second was for my buddy, and this current is for my brother. 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. Not only is the fit and finish on the Hope Pro4 hubs top-notch, but the value on these is incredible. The cost is about 20 to 30 percent less than other high-end options. You have an array of anodized colors to choose from. The engagement is spot on at 44 points of engagement which equals 8.4 degrees. They are lightweight as well, around 181 grams for the front and 311 grams for the rear.
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. This wheelset will be replacing his OEM wheels on the Santa Cruz Nomad 4. We were aiming to make it lighter and stronger than the OEM set. 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.
