from: www.srsuntour-cycling.com/standard.xml?vpID=187 LEFT for suspension: Remote lock by grip and underbar shifter for remote travel adjust. Safety design all in one remote control. RIGHTfor drivetrain: Compact moveable grip for rear derailleur and underbar shifter for front derailleur enables one motion shifting even at extreme riding conditions. watcha think?

super hi-tech. these are for the real mtbike geeks! no offencement but galing ng technology ng suntour. this might be the "comeback product" of suntour for their components. back in the early 90's they were dominating the raod and mtn bike scene then they just disappeared. Will the mtnbike community accept this technology? this is the BIG (question)

Super Hi-tech nga.. But I think Suntour is on a wrong marketing strategy again. Yes, they are the top Bike component company sometime ago, but not now. The components cannot be mixed and matched with your ordinary Shimano or SRAM or (place manufacturer here). So if you want the shifter, you might as well change your FD, RD, and cranks(?). Being at the bottom of the market, I say they should have made compatible components for Shimanos or SRAMs, but with better design/look, strength, and lower price. my Php .02

nice.....just a question to gripshift users, my friend got SRAM and he said he can't shift when they were all wet from rain. his gloves are just sliding at the grips. maybe it's the grips, maybe it's the gloves, maybe his grip is loosening Suntour should market this product really good, although it might take a while getting used to it, especially if you're not into travel adjust or suspension lockout. OT: btw, what SRAM RD model can be mated with a shimano shifter?

I used a shimano cogset with a suntour RD on my old chromoly bike.... Also a suntour gripshift with a shimano front derailluer. XC-Pro Model older versions.
