For mountain bikes? Light years. Or at least the execution and refinement of technology has been. Heck in any given 10 year period since the mid 90s it has been huge.

The all terrain bike? Yeah, not so much. Two things come to mind, though:

Much better tire options.

Better drop bar options (the bars themselves).

For the application of these bikes, 90s era brakes and drive trains work fine.
