My biggest criticism would be change for change's sake. After getting it right with parts like the VX, Cyclone and original Superbe they moved backward or stood still. Or they didn't make simple necessary changes like making the Cyclone rear convenient to install a cable. Intead they make a Cyclone II that is heavier and doesn't shift as well.

I am in agreement as all of my experiences with Suntour VX, Superbe products
shifted smoothly and were as durible as anything on the market. Apparently
they had some lower end stuff in the 90s that was recalled for defects and that
added to their death nell.
