Material and frame geometry are at the top of the list, but componetry also aid in making a bike fun to ride. The better components shift more quickly with easier motion.
Fit is also a key factor.
To acquire a bike that fits your basic wants and desires is a lot of work.
Campy Record versus its entry, Shimano Dura Ace versus its entry or SRAM Red Group versus entry?
Forks and seat posts can also reduce "jarring", but the better ones are pricier.
