Its a very competetive market and all manufacturers offer comparable products at similar price points...compare hardtails within a few $ of the 4500 and you'll see what each mfg does to make you want to buy their product...but its a balance, one may offer a better fork, but cut back on the deraileur...there's no magic here, everyone buys from the same suppliers, including the frames
