Well that would make thngs pretty much the same as marzocchi then, shame would be nice to see some of these old school brands right up there with the best, raleigh being another that springs to mind.

Suntour as a brand is older than any of the other big fork producers, look at some old vintage bikes sporting suntour groupsets, the issue is they've spent ages producing crappy stuff nows the time they're gonna have to prove they can play with the big boys, and succeed where manitou failed and marzocchi have been failing since 2006

Looks like some nice kit to be coming out, though it does seem to answer questions that nobody asked hardly like a decent 9 speed groupset with a twin chainring left much to be desired these days. Speaking of 9 speed does this mean they'll no longer produce it cause that'll be a pain for many
