The Hope Technology Suspension hub is a solution to flexy forks. Its stiff construction and oversized body helps assist in making the fork track better through corners and stops brake rub on sprints. By limiting such factors, this hub allows you to go faster, without having the bike rob you of energy. With its sealed bearings, you can be sure of smooth operation for the lifetime of the hub. We guarantee it.

Incredible durability, superb bearings, light weight, good looks. What more do you want?
Weaknesses:
None!
Similar Products Used:

Bottom Line:
I've been running this hub for about 4 years now and have put it through incredible amounts of abuse. When I changed my bike, the only thing I kept was my front wheel - because of this hub. It's still running as smoothly as ever. I think it will probably last a lot longer than I do...

Well, this hub outperforms anything. I love it. Serviceable without a ton of tools. Buy it and you wont need another front hub for the rest of your life.
(guess you can give it to your children and they can pass it on to your grandchildren etc. as well)
