Bombing through the rain forest like woods of Michigan on my Cannondale Prophet. I made a custom bracket for the GoPro HD camera that mounts on the upper rear shock mount. Seems to be pretty solid. This was on the last mile of a 10 mile trail that surrounds Mid Michigan Community College (MMCC) which is south east of Harrison Michigan (north of Clare on old 27).
Cannondale presents the Prophet. This movie is about technology, design and test drive of Prophet
It sure got some excellent brakes
Is the guy in front of you super tall? His seat is WAY high…
@DecapitaTino . thats a nice bike. we should trade . i can give my mongoose lol
The only damn thing i don’t like about this bike is the weight…
@ROLLERBUG
What the fuck are you talking about?
$3000
how much does this bike cost?
Do you still have a job now there made overseas……sad
Profit ! Its a bicycle….. You can get an R1 for that much, or a used GSXR 1000 or a Hayabusa for as much as Cannondale is asking for there bikes. Get realistic Cannondale.
yes, a DH bike is ideal, but were not talking full body armor and 50 degree inclines here. Ive ridden this bike down Whistler and it takes a fucking pounding. Your body will too with the 140mm, but it holds up just fine!
Because you need a DH bike to go Dh, It was defiantly retarded for miles Rockwell to ride 3″ super V’s downhill back in the 90′s. Your totally right you need a 220mm bike the go down a hill or you will crash 100% of the time. Is that why its called ALL MOUNTAIN instead of All mountain as long as the mountain never goes down?
Can you also drive it for like 3 hours with a friend who is riding on a hardtail?!
Like doing a bit of cross country?!
@chazmaniac624 Spent a year doing DH races etc on a STP, Came in top 3 most times [hardtail and under17]
Only just got myself a new bike, Got a Haro and I’m loving it
my friend got one and he hates it
@Chris385261 so true. my friend has been joining my rides with an old, rusty bike with no suspension. we haven’t been doing downhill (not enough protective equipment), but the terrain hasn’t been nice, and his bike manages just fine.
The fork would throw me off.
@chazmaniac624 lol Iv downhilled with it, its mad fun. You can downhill with any bike…..Its just easier with some more then others…
I have the Jekyll and the Scalpel both bikes kick some serious ass. Love my Lefty. People look at me weird because of my shock. They have no idea how well the Lefty handles. Great shock for great steering. Lol!!!!
@chazmaniac624 if you owned one you’d know that you can lower the seat and float over almost anything. It starts to wobble at 40+mph but every downhill isn’t mammoth mtn
I just cant get used to the one front shock look…..
I have the burn orange color one sitting in my garage for 2 years now and never rode it. I should take it out sometime.
моновилка, дурость какая-то !!!
ganz gut, verstehe englisch nur nicht so gut …daher
Use it for what you want. Back in the day downhill bikes had that much travel.
COOOOL, hey by the way, what’s the name of the song in 5:42 ?
i love cannondale frame but cant afford one… its my dream bike.. i wish god some one will give me one cannondale bike
thats my dream bike , , , i wish someone with a good hearth will donated me a cannondale frame , i lost my bike on the typoon ondoy flood
word.
Great Bike. I’ve tried Specialized’s FSR and all the VPP bikes, and when you are riding there is vertually no difference between the Cannondale a FSR and VPP rear suspantion design. The main thing to be asked here is where does all the steering control come from? the front of the bike. Where does most of the trail impact come from? the front. What brake has the most affect of stopping? the front. The rear suspention is not as important as the industry leads everyone to believe.
