Suspension..
Fox Vanilla 125 ( lowered to 80mm), the fork works wonders especially during the long desent( i'm talking about 40 km on rough , loose gravel ,rocky mountain roads between 35 to 45kph) and its soaks up almost everything that comes its way.
Brakes..
Avid BB7 Mech disc for the front and Avid sd7 V brake for the rear (both front and rear equipped with Koolstop pads), as for the front mech disc it, performs very very well. Good braking power, modulation is fantastic, no worries of losing braking power during long descents.
Drivetrain..
Rohloff Speedhub 14speed, I highly recommended to all who intend to go for long tours , easy to do maintenance and cleaning of your drivetrain. So far in my tour with very dusty road conditions it performs very well, you won't believe its so easy to look after it (as my other tour partners need to clean and do some minor adjustment to their deraillaur system every now and then).
