The fork, wheels, and brakes are probably the biggest difference makers. The fork is a fox which is awesome and nicer and the wheels are better and probably lighter and the brakes are probably twice as good as there other juicy 5's and alot lighter. Most of the other components are about the same. They may be different brands like shimano and sram but they are pretty much the same. The front derailleur and the shifters are the only other real difference and they are a step up on the better build. Also one other thing the seat post in this build is a thompson and you can't beat a thompson seat post. Hope that helps.
