I am planning on getting a prophet mx, i just wanted your oppinion on how it rides uphill and just in general frail feel, i decided to go for it as i was trying a rm slayer, i liked the descending feel and the adlustable geo via the lockout shock ond wind down forks for climbing but just felt it was too much like a dh bike and i never needed all of the travel, so I thought about the prophet.
What i want to know is will it climb better (at about 31lbs or so) as its a single piviot id be woried about pedal bob compared to the slayer, also descending wise i want somthing thats abit tighter and a bike that doesnt do all the work for you but that i can throw oround rather than the charge through feel of the slayer but still with good geo, so ultimately will i just end up dissapointed that the prophet isnt so much aimed as ploughing through or will it be more what im looking for?(sorry thats abit vague but its hard to get my point across)
