Stéphane Guillaume – SR Suntour – Is the guest on En Roue Libre Business
Episode in French.
Stéphane Guillaume heads SR Suntour’s French subsidiary and the brand’s after-sales service structures in Europe.
With 30 years in the suspension business, Stéphane is a true enthusiast of a kind we see all too rarely.
And if you got scared seeing the length of this episode, don’t worry: it will fly by and you’ll get your money’s worth.
Because before joining Suntour, Stéphane spent 16 years at Marzocchi between 1996 and 2012 — in other words, the Italian brand’s heyday. He was at the heart of everything that made Marzo great: the freeriders, iconic models such as the Z1, the Monstar, the Shiver and the incredible RAC.
And you’ll see he has some great memories, which should bring back a few of your own.
Since 2012, he has taken on a major challenge: making SR Suntour suspension win at the highest level. And judging by the results of Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand Prévot, recently crowned Olympic champions at the Paris Games, it’s safe to say he has reached his goal.
In this episode, expect to discover:
– How Marzocchi became the iconic brand we all know
– A few barely believable anecdotes about the development of the brand’s most iconic models
– Why, despite mind-boggling market share and volumes, Suntour keeps such a low profile
– How it rose to the highest level by winning Olympic gold in mountain biking at the Paris Games
– How the technicians who will service your suspension tomorrow are trained.
– Some expert advice for understanding the role of suspension and the keys to good setup and maintenance
– Fascinating predictions about the future of suspension
– And much more…
