The Sakae Ringyō ( Japanese 栄 輪 業 , literally: "Wheel manufacture Sakae", English Sakae Ringyo Ltd. ) was a Japanese manufacturer of bicycle components .

The company manufactured cranks, stems, handlebars and control and bottom brackets. In the heyday of racing cycling in the 70s and 80s, the company equipped bike manufacturers such as Motobécane , Raleigh and Pinarello with components. According to Sheldon Brown , the company was the number 2 Japanese manufacturer after Shimano in terms of bicycle cranks. The Sugino AT was the first to introduce the chainring size 110 mm / 74 mm. Together with Suntour , Sakae Ringyo was acquired by the Mori Kōgyō (Mory Industries) group and became SR Suntour .

The successor company SR-Suntour produces cheaper components in Taiwan for the global market.
