Favoriate Trail:Mueller Park Canyon
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $1100.00
Purchased At:Bikers Edge
Strengths:Very comfortable ride, easy to maintain with componentry and mechanical disk brakes.
Weaknesses:Weight, the stock handlebars are a bit wide, I like a narrower grip
Similar Products Used:Cannondale Jeckyl, Haro Extreme X3
Bike Setup:I added a crash ring in place of the front ring for log and rock clearance and switched out the pedals. Other than that, it is stock.
Bottom Line:This is a fun bike, Its nice to lock out the rear shock for the long climb and open it up for a nice smooth downhill ride. Both front and back shocks are very adjustable to get the desired feel. The bike has far exceeded my expectations.

Favoriate Trail:slickrock
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Purchased At:REI
Strengths:Very versatile, well balanced, feels great under you, climbs well and descends even better. looks great.
Weaknesses:a tad heavy
Similar Products Used:tested cdale rush, novara float, marin palisades trail
Bike Setup:stock except: crank bros candys, thomsen stems, and ithys amore saddle
Bottom Line:I love this bike. It's my first full suspension and after spending 10 years on a GT hardtail, I was aprehensive about loosing pedaling efficiency and gaining weight. But after a couple of amazing trial rides I have no more doubts. This bike is a beautifully engineered all-mountain machine.

Favoriate Trail:lots
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $1500.00
Purchased At:revolution cycle
Strengths:In canada the bike comes with marazocchi Am3 instead of the lower AM4 that comes on the bike in the states. Good omponent set up. Good defeniion of an all mountian bike. on this bike you can change the headtube angle to 69 degrees for XC or to 67.5 degrees forfreeride. Manito radium r shock is not bad.
Weaknesses:pedals need to be changed the bike comes with the weird strap in pedals. manito radium r shock is not the greatest but it does the job.
Similar Products Used:none like this.
Bike Setup:Marazocchi AM3 fork, manitou radium r shock,Avid juicy 3 cable disc brakes. sram x-7 shifting package. All other parts like the seat and grips are cannondale.
Bottom Line:This bike is the perfect definetion of a all mountian bike. Before choosing this bike i looked around at other all mountain bikes and found that lots of them were only for one riding style. Some allmountians like the norco fluid 2 were aimed more twords cross country but the norco six two was aimed more to the freeriding. The prophet has a good mix allowing you to do XC with out any problems and lets you do a fair amount of freeriding. For me this was the perfect bike i could go do some XC for part of the ride and then go hit some jumps at the end of the ride. Thois bike works well for freeriders who want to still ride trails. I dont recomend this bike if all you do is freeride or if you do heavy freeride.
