You know I had never heard of Paioli till I saw their name on
the Derbi forks

Interesting website & they have various USD legs
even a 37mm geared to 125's as well as 41mm & more

Paioli made the forks on my kids 50/65cc KTM and Husky MX bikes back 15-20 years ago. They weren't anything special on those bikes but they made good upper end forks too. I think they were the supplier for a few Ducatis and maybe Guzzis too.

I'm sure they are a big step up from our 1970 forks regardless. Whenever I handle mine I recall the old CB350s and Hodakas that wore similar forks. The ones you posted there look amazing.
