Case Studies

Cannondale Prophet

The Cannondale Prophet has quickly established itself as an All-Mountain legend. Adjustable geometry, 140 mm of plush, balanced travel and lightweight aluminum construction combine for an ultra-versatile ride that wants to climb as much as descend. Born in the Northeast to roll on anything un-paved, worldwide.

Adjustable Geometry

You choose. 69 degree headtube for cross-country or 67.5 degree headtube for light freeride. A quick hit with your 5 mm hex adjusts the swingarm to conform to your riding style or choice of terrain.

BIKE WEIGHT: Cannondale produces and offers the "best in class" when it comes to bike weight, and stiffness to weight ratio. A bike's weight depends not only on the size of the frame and the specs selected, but the variences inherent within the manufacturing process as well. Calibration of the scale is also a factor in determining specific weight. Although we could give you "average frame weights", we feel this would be misleading. Because we are obsessed as you are about your bike's weight, we implore you to go visit your local Cannondale Dealer to help you determine the specific weight of any bike you may be considering. We know you'll be impressed.

SIZING: Individual fitting of a bicycle is a step-wise process and a series of compromises. Professional guidance DOES simplify the process and we encourage you to be fit properly by a trained bicycle professional. Where you ride and how you ride, your fitness, and flexibility are only some of the variables. Every body, regardless of weight, is different. Your body type is the only factor that does not change. Your inseam to height ratio, the length of your arms, the size of hands, the size of your torso etc. all factor into determining the correct fit of a bike. As a result, Cannondale highly suggests that you not rely on fit charts, but instead seek professional guidance and recommendations from an experienced bicycle shop. Buying a Cannondale is an investment in your recreational pleasure. Fitting a Cannondale should be like fitting a wedding gown, or an expensive suit. It should fit the individual as well as either of these other fine items. Telling a rider “you need one inch of standover clearance and your Six13 fits you” does not do the product or the investment justice. For all bicycle fit questions, please contact your Cannondale dealer.
