Well said, Drew. Though the engine and skill of the rider can make up a lot of what modern bikes have (the generally the riders lack the skill because of it). For example, I've ridden down wash boarded roads on my Hunqapillar a lot faster than my ride partner, who had front shocks. His shocks cushioned ever bump slowing him way down while I reached a speed that allowed me to cruise smoothly over the top of them. On single track climbs and trails, I easily keep up (when I want to) with anyone on the trails. All on a bike that feels far more fun to ride because the fun isn't only in the speed it is in the bike and the joy of how it handles.
