Most of the problems with Accushift had been cleaned up by 1990. Superbe Pro was still top-quality componentry, but Shimano had taken over the market. Superbe Pro sealed hubs were of course excellent. There was the famous hidden-spring brakeset which functioned well and is now collectible. Sun Tour SL replaced Sprint in 1991. A bit from the 1992 catalog: | Most of the problems with Accushift had been cleaned up by 1990. Superbe Pro was still top-quality componentry, but Shimano had taken over the market.

One last unusual piece of engineering was the Sun Tour Command Shifter. They were something like STI or Ergo and mounted just inside the brake levers on the handlebars. The front shifter had the ratchet system, the rear could do either indexed or friction modes. They worked well, save for the fact that you couldn't shift from the smaller to the larger chainring from the drops (which is when you would want to do so). If you were clever, though, you could solve this by using the Sun Tour Spirt derailleur mentioned earlier. | One last unusual piece of engineering was the Sun Tour Command Shifter.

Sun Tour stopped producing components in March of 1995. The name was bought by SR, but the component designs did not survive. | Sun Tour stopped producing components in March of 1995. The name was bought by SR, but the component designs did not survive. | ||
