Well, they look like run of the mill HT bikes to me, nothing special, maybe just great.

One thing I noticed: some of the bikes are specced with Suntour, including at least one allegedly using XC/Pro. Has someone bought the name or reissued parts with this grouppo name? This was good stuff! Trust me, I still use an XC/Pro thumbie on the left side of my bike :cool:

For me was Suntour always something like "cheap and simply" version of Shimano, I knew only their shifters. But some time ago I noticed their forks,and in our bike magazines they were tested as very good ones. I am not sure if there are all typrs of Suntour on market in my country, but if I want to buy some cheap and good fork, I will buy Suntour:-)

That's probably SR Suntour. You see their forks on lower end rides here in the States, though not under the XC/Pro name. They are distantly related to the old Suntour, but I don't think they have the rights to the component packages or we'd see them reintroduced.
