the prophet recently beat the fsr and got a 10 out of 10 in a bike test in one of the mags. looks to be a superb bike and if i was in the market for a 1000 quid fs, tht would prob be my choice.
the fsr got 9/10 and is still considered a top notch bike for the money.
the prophet is more "all mountain" whihc means longer travel and is designed for more hardcore type stuff but is stil a cpable xc machine (although will be heavy). the fsr is an actual xc bike with 100mm travel at both ends.
so figure out if you want a hardcore or an xc bike and decide accordingly0 -
just read the article i refferred to in my last post and realised the fsr and prophet are almost identical weights so again, my choice purely on the reviews i have read, would be the prophet0
