Sun Metal Products (Sun Ringlé Brand) bicycle products are known and used worldwide by professional bike racers in BMX and mountain bike competitions around the world.
Sun Metal Products dates back to 1946 when Ken-Jen Metal Products started production of tricycle seats. In 1948, Ken-Jen became Sun Metal Products and started a wire-spoke wheel line. In 1954, it developed wheels for lawnmowers, garden utility vehicles and stationary bicycles. In 1974, Sun Products began production of alloy rims for high performance, off-road motorcycle racing. By the early 1980s, half of the world’s professional racers were using Sun’s aluminum rims. In the 1980s, Sun also began developing high-end alloy bicycle rims. In the 1990s, Sun expanded production facilities in Indiana for high-end alloy rims, and built manufacturing plants in China to provide products for the growing Asian bicycle manufacturing industry. In 1996, Sun Products was recognized as one of the world’s best rim makers with numerous victories in the World Cup, NORBA Nationals and a silver medal at the Olympic Games held in Atlanta. In 1997, Sun Products purchased Ringlé Racing Components and increased product development for the Ringlé brand. |
