NOX Composites Wheels with Hope Hubs

Gravel in depth

NOX Composites Skyline wheels on Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs

Our gravel pick from the NOX Composites and Hope parts we build with. The NOX Composites Skyline is a hookless carbon rim, 23mm inside, 22mm deep, about 345 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs in 28 hole.

• Anti-Burp Bump. A slight rise between the center channel and the bead seat helps a tubeless tire seal during setup. Once seated, it resists the bead moving inward, which NOX says makes burping less likely on a bad landing or at low pressure.
• Drag cut at the seal and the ratchet. Hope says the Pro 5's labyrinth seal keeps dirt out with zero drag. On the road, the RS4 rear goes a different way, with a reduced-drag two-pawl ratchet at 44 points, or 8 degrees.

NOX Composites Teocalli wheels on Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the NOX Composites and Hope parts we build with. The NOX Composites Teocalli is a hookless carbon rim, 26mm inside, 22mm deep, about 385 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.1 to 2.4 inch tires. We lace it to Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.

• RockGuard bead. NOX calls the bead the most vulnerable part of a carbon rim, so it adds thickness there and orients the surface fibers to resist impact, and says the layup limits delamination if a crack starts. Its RockGuard HL mountain rims also leave out the bead hook, because forming one creates a weak spot, with a recommended 45 psi limit.
• Spacers that change with your bike. End spacers swap to suit a different frame or axle, so the hub can move to your next bike. Hope publishes a conversion kit chart, and the Pro 5 front covers QR, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 20mm, Torq and Boost.

Road in depth

NOX Composites Falkor 55D wheels on Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs

Our road pick from the NOX Composites and Hope parts we build with. The NOX Composites Falkor 55D is a hooked carbon rim, 18mm inside, 55mm deep, about 415 grams in 700c, sized for about 25 to 32mm tires. We lace it to Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs in 24 hole.

• Rock strike coverage. NOX warrants its rims against defects for as long as the original owner has them. It also has a two-year rock and road strike policy for the rim, though the owner may pay for labor, parts or shipping.
• A stiffer axle and shell. Hope says the step-down axle makes the Pro 5 freehub stiffer and more durable. The front hub shell is machined from a single forged billet, with a larger flange for a stiffer wheel.
