There's the rub. Some of that Z stuff looked like AX, some looked like Golden Arrow, some looked like SIS. We look back thinking there was a roadmap for both Shimano and Suntour but I think they were in a constant mad rush to innovate and redesign in order to win the market. There were all sorts of oddball stuff like 200GS, Exage 400LX, C700, Sport LX plus all the Deores. Most were good but what a marketing mess.
