I am thinking of getting a Prophet as my first FS. What do you guys think of them as an all rounder? I mainly do single track. With the odd 40mile XC nothing too extreme.
I was looking at an 09 Prohet 2. What else for the same money do you think?

DL - yeah, it wasn't what I was looking for (as I already have one) but the price was right and so far I'm struggling to justify changing it. Don't think my riding will even justifies changing it for a while either...
Al-London, I've not had mine long enough for any long term impressions, but I bought mine to extend my riding, as I already had a short travel full suss. The Prophet 2 is a great buy, but for your first full-susser it 'maybe' too much bike for pure XC rides, and put you off a full-susser due to it being more than the riding requires.
I'd suggest that a shorter travel full suss might be a better introduction, something like the Rush, this is not complaint about the Prophet more about getting the right tool for the job.
Anyways, feel free to ignore me!
