The PR6-XC Race alloy frame with the DT XM180 rear shock (now with Fox RP2 option) is a responsive aggressive race machine.
Special Tubing
 The
PR6 is made of a special (PR6) 6000 series aluminum designed especially
for this frame. Combined with triple butted tubing the result is a very
strong, rigid and high performing frame designed for speed.

Shock
The specially tuned Fox RP2 or DT Swiss XM180 suspension allows you to build a speedy racebike as well as a
comfortable All-Mountain bike. From our experience, climbing is amazing and this bike really punches above its weight. We honestly thought this bike seemed quite fragile until we took it through all the technical trails around here in Stirling and the 7stanes trail centres. The plush travel truly makes the descents a joyride.
Ride on top technology
By mounting the suspension
on the top tube Pronghorn Racing offers a more horizontal and forward
distribution of the energy while increasing the stiffness and rigidity
of the rear end. It rides like a hard tail uphill and a full suspension
when you need it on downhill or technical trails. Pronghorn calls it
Ride On Top – there is no energy lost when hammering up steep hills
or technical trails.
The Geek version
The short technical explanation is that the sum of pivot points and the
linkage design makes the energy when you pedal work horizontally.
Normally on full suspension bikes the energy works vertically: the chain is
pulling the wheel up while the rider weight and pedal infects the
energy downwards making the not wanted pedal bobbing. On the Pronghorn
the energy is instead translated horizontally into the seat stay that
locks out when riding uphill and only react to the trail and not the
rider's pedalling.
The end result is a faster and more efficient suspension design that eliminates pedal bob.
Pronghorn
Racing is a company that is complete in concept, design and riding
results. Bucking the standard bike industry designs the engineers at
Pronghorn Racing took their suspension knowledge and their passion for
riding and turned it into the all new patent pending design- known as
A.P.L.S. (anti power loss system).
A TOP MOUNTED suspension system that maximizes leverage and eliminates pedal bobbing. Ideal for the complete ride.
