According to a report in the industry magazine Bike Europe, all forks and shocks will be built in the Suntour factories in Taiwan from the 2009 model year. Until now, Suntour had only produced the cheaper entry-level models for the Italians. According to Suntour, the expanded partnership will make it the largest suspension fork manufacturer in the world. Last year, SR Suntour produced around six million suspension forks in Taiwan and China.
