carbon frames don't belong on anything that leaves a groomed xc trail,think tou will ever see Simmons riding anything like that on the shore? All style, no substance. don't waste your $.

are u kidding me trailchef look at guys riding teh scott ransom carbons up whistler carbon can be very strong some companys just suck with tehre process i bet this bike will withstand alot more then u think. and it would be good to see an alluminum version to make it a bit more affordable for people.

hey ratherbeoutriding, almost every comment on PB is someone's opinion. i have seen a cannondale that needed repair more than any bike i have ever seen (and it wasn't due to being riden too hard) so i am of the OPINION that they are a piece of shit. i don't care about the factory, i care how the bike performs and how durable it is, and for the money, he could have gotten a much better bike. i will say this, he seems to be happy with it even if he is fixing it all the time. so in the future i will try to make sure MY OPINION matches yours, but if it don't, i'm afraid i still won't shut my mouth. you'll just have to accept the fact that not everyones opinion agrees with yours. cheers.

I had a Prophet and it launched my riding to new levels. I outgrew it cuz of the flexy rear. This looks like they addressed that....too bad it's not better looking (paintjob aside)

There's no point to having that many pivots and or all that crazy linkage...

its a single pivot and yes tehre is a point to the "crazy linkage" look at teh judge with the scissor link its staged travel i bet this bike will be the same. look at the demo bikes there linkage is more f*cked up then this.

Demo's FSR is in no ways "f*cked up," it's perfect.
