Where can I get tubeless spoke wheels for my hyper?
I'm interested on getting spoked wheels for my HM EVO SP. Tubeless preferably.... Laced on Excel rims.
Any recommendations?
Thank you in advance

None but the look.
I was into it when Ducati introduced the Evo SP at Milan with spoke wheels, but quickly realized few things :
*/ Heavier than 10 spokes cast wheels
*/ Stronger for dirt where the Hyper has no real business to do
At this point, there's no option for a rear spoke wheel for our single sided swingarm anyway.
The one that was displayed at Milan was based on a DID rim and the hub was designed by a small italian company. It remained a prototype.
Cost involved in the production of such a wheel would have been crazy high compared to much better and cheaper option.
I do beileve an Alpina Tubeless front spoke wheel could be fitted on Hyper.
You can see the spoke wheels very very well on this video:

You can try writing these guys and see if they will make them for you. I know they can make hubs in house.

Alpina makes them for Supermotos.
There also is a thread where someone wanted spoke wheels like they had at EICMA when they debuted the Hyper. He found it was made by DID/Excel iirc. Do a search, that should help you further.

Seems like a lot of work that would probably cost you as much as getting an additional bike

Were you thinking of this thread? Awesome Wheels - look similar to EVO SP launch
Love to have some badass spoked wheels. Love 'em on bikes, on cars, on bicycles.

Just for the looks. I know it's heavier than the forged wheels. Yup, the launch of the evo sp showed those gorgeous wheels.
For serious paces, I'd definitely stick to the forged wheels... Or some BST's.
