Marin Wolf Ridge vs Cannondale Prophet 600
 

I want to get a full suspension bike and have narrowed it down to these two.
At the moment I am tending towards the Marin. I had the original Mount
Vision some years ago but regreattably sold it.

I am getting back in to mountain biking and I want a do everything bike - up
hill, down hill, cross country, single track, bomb holes small jumps. I am
not very brave so don't do big hit stuff or steep downhill. I just want a
reliable, comfortable, fun bike that will increase my confidence to go a bit
quicker.

What are your thoughts?

Cheers

Andrew

How did you narrow it down to those two choices? Test ride both? If so,
then you don't need our help; pick the one that "feels" better. And if not,
then our help won't help either (you really need to ride 'em).

PS: Buy the red one!

:-P

The Prophet really is a free-style bike. If you want to do cross-country
stuff on a bike that can still do the other stuff nicely, I'd try a Santa
Cruz Blur. The Blur (and the Superlight) are do-everything bikes in a way
that a free-style machine like the Prohet really isn't.

If it were me, I'd go Marin. But I just like Marin.

Buy what you like, what fits, and what you can afford.
