When i got my Prophet it came with an RP2, a mate went the US and got me an RP23 which i hastily bolted on and rode. This turned out to be a high volume unit so it flew through its travel very easily. I swapped it for a standard volume air can this week annd what a difference! The bike feels way more nimble, even lighter! far less pedal strikes when climbing (as the shock did not give up all its travel) and it generally feels smoother!

Surprised at the difference, only changed because a few people on here said that high volume was wrong. Cheers who ever that was - new bike syndrome again today 🙂

set the sag at 25-30% - any higher and it would have been too firm. If thatw as the case why sell a standard and high volume can?
