Shimano XT hubs, front derailleur, shifters, brakes, levers; Tourney XT cranks with Takagi chainrings. SR MTE-100 seatpost. Suntour XC pedals. Ukai 26x1.75 rims. Other sweet stuff.

My understanding is that this was the top of the line bike from Ross for this year and wow does it show! The (vertical!) dropouts are gorgeous, all threads and tubing/lugs are flawless to spec, head tube, lugs, fork crown, bosses, cable stops... it all just feels so stout and well made.
