Not sure what to get yet. I'm kinda leaning toward the 5 or 6" travel bikes. I know that sounds crazy, but I think it might be fun to change things up a bit.

I am wondering whos gotten a new bike they really liked. I'm interested in Socom reviews. I've always like the m3. But what about those medium hit type bikes?

Cannondale prophet MX. I have the 4x from last year, its a 5.25" travel, thru-axle frame with a 67.5 head angle and sub 13" bb. Rides like a mini DH bike and I do 5000 ft+ climb rides with it. Best handling all around bike Ive seen yet.

I'm interested in Socom reviews.

Since you asked, here's my insight and I'm going to be real objective with my socom review.

The pros
First, top notch speed and quality paintjob.

The cons
Seat tube hole is hard to keep clean.

There's a black-ish marr mark on the left side of the top tube.

Imperfection, there's a thing sticking beyond the flat top of the "M".

I hate this.
I hate the hump near the headtube/top tube junction.
It reminds me a whole lot of the SC Nomad whale hump...ugh!

Based on my experience and the weight of this review, you should definitely get one.

Get a Dean titanium hardtail, a very light weight wheelset, and some sticky tires.
