Tires are always a good upgrade IMO. Getting the best tires for your given application is totally worth ~$150 in my book.
The fork and shock are both Fox's "performance" level models. I am sure they are pretty good, but there is better stuff out there.... but it is not cheap.
Personally, if that were my bike and I had some money burning a hole in my pocket, I would be looking at tires (if it still has the stock Nobby Nics.... not bad, just not my thing) and looking into getting a PUSH tune/damper mod on the fork and maybe the shock... but that is getting into a few hundred bucks.
For now, just ride it!
That's why I jumped on it lol. Seemed to be a decent spec. It has Vitoria Goma 2.4's on, running tubeless so tires have been addressed. I am looking at that on-the-fly damper adjuster that replaced the top cap (Seths bike hacks seems to love his) the only other thing I really want is a solid 1x11 or 1x12 setup. Rode it yesterday and it goes pretty well. Remote lockout would be nice... but that's just being spoiled lol
