Even SLs have the same geometry, just a shorter travel shock.

STD 140mm Prophet:
XC 69 degree's
FR 67.5 degree's

Obviously probably not too relevent to the OP original question, but I've seen it said and pictures previously that the Prophet MX/X/4X with [u]160mm forks[/u], the pictures included the frame "settings" with those angle marked:
XC = 67.5 degree's
FR = 65 degree's
Only the MX/X/4X were sold & warrenteed with 160mm forks, obviously with 140mm fork it'll be exactly the same geometry as the STD version.
Though many ppl have ignored the warrenty and put 160mm on anyways, and not died!

My '06 Prophet had the 2 settings marked at 67.5 and 69, but that was before they put the gert big spacer at the bottom of the headtube. The spacer was 18mm deep and was put there so you didn't swipe your top caps off the standard fit Pikes, etc. that were fitted later on - early Prophets had Lefty forks so didn't need clearance under the downtube. So that's prolly why they updated the wee stickers showing the geometry as the spacer will have knocked it all back a degree or two.
