Emphasis on 'kinda'.

SunTour Maeda made its mark with quality components at good value.
The current offerings by SunXCD are just really expensive rebadged components. They may be good quality, but they certainly arent priced like SunTour components were when compared to other offerings.

The derailleurs are clearly made by Microshift and are an old Microshift offering with a few aesthetic changes(and maybe mechanical, no idea there).

Very limited availability boutique-like components with boutique-like pricing...not really like the SunTour Maeda of old.
