Hope Pro 5 Centre Lock Rear Hub 148×12 (Boost)

The Hope Pro 5 Centre Lock Rear Hub 148×12 is a premium Boost MTB rear hub built for riders who want quick engagement, smooth freewheeling and long‑term reliability in real trail conditions. Designed for modern mountain bikes using Centerlock disc rotors, it’s a popular choice for custom wheel builds and performance upgrades, especially for riders who want a hub that can be serviced, rebuilt and kept running season after season.

At the heart of the Pro 5 is a redesigned drive system that increases engagement from 44 to 108 points, thanks to an offset 6‑pawlfreehub layout. The result is faster pickup when you stomp on the pedals—perfect for technical climbs, punchy accelerations out of corners, and fast trail riding. Hope also focused on reducing drag and improving durability with updated sealing and internal designs, making this hub well suited to dusty trails, wet weather riding and high‑kilometre training blocks.

Why riders choose the Pro 5 Centre Lock rear hub

Faster engagement for technical riding
With 108 points of engagement, the hub delivers quick power transfer for steep climbs, slow‑speed tech sections and repeated surges.

Improved sealing for Australian conditions
Updated sealing is designed to reduce dirt ingress and help maintain consistent performance through mud, dust and water crossings.

Low‑drag Labyrinth seal for smooth freewheeling
The Labyrinth seal design is aimed at maintaining strong sealing with minimal drag for a smooth, fast roll.

Stronger, stiffer freehub support
A revised step‑down axle design supports a stiffer freehub interface for durability under high torque and rough riding.

Built to be serviced, not replaced
Fully serviceable and rebuildable with simple tools, making it a great long‑term investment for riders and workshops.

Adaptable to different setups
End spacers/end caps can be swapped to suit different frame and axle standards, and it’s available with modern freehub body options depending on drivetrain.
