SunTour (Maeda) was the most important Japanese manufacturer of bicycle components based in Osaka until 1988.

The company Sakae Ringyo (abbreviated S.R.), a major Japanese maker of aluminum parts, particularly cranks and seat posts, bought what was left of the bankrupt SunTour, and the combined companies are now known as SR-SunTour.

SunTour reached a zenith of sales and commercial success from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s. Its products range from suspension forks to derailleurs.

SUNTOUR Technologies:
PCS (Piston Compensator System)
Performance thru Controlled Speed. Santour has developed a refined damper platform that can perform at any riding level, functions simply and follows their QSP philosophy.

Q-LOC (Thru Axle Quick Release)
A patented quick release system for thru axles fully deserving of the name "quick". Q-LOC 2 is the logical evolutionary step, guaranteeing 100% compatibility with all kinds of hub axle designs.

HOLLOW CROWN (Hollow Crown Technology)
Lightweight forged hollow crown technology brings additional stiffness and keeps the weight down. It is 35 grams lighter than the solid crown. The new one-piece hollow carbon upper saves again 120 grams towards the forged version.
