50mm fork tubes, biggest out there?
I have yet to find anything bigger than 50mm as used on the Hyper. I have even begun a game of checking every new bike coming onto the market while reading the print mags, nothing is equipt with 50mm tubes. The biggest common size used on the largest of cruisers seems to be 43mm. So it makes me wonder what kind of riding environment Ducati was expecting for the Hyper?

Marzocchi also makes a 53mm fork for Supermoto, MX, offroad. This fork is supposedly available for the HM but I haven't actually seen it in person yet, just photos.

This 53mm Marzzochi is legend.
It's been a long time people are waiting to put their hands on it. And I think the price is still unknown...
But yeah, it looks gorgeous and i can clearly picture my Hyper with it
Maybe the new Evo SP fork will be a nice alternative.

pretty smooth! So now we know there is a larger aftermarket set available. Do we know of anyone using a larger set on a stock bike?

Oh i know the 53mm are already out there.
The legend I'm talking about is the Marzo 53mm for Hypermotard, which is way different from the one shown on the marzo website and your picture.
