Glory. MUCH better suspension. The Rocky will have a ton of brake jack, the Glory doesn't.

I'm getting a Flateline and I can't wait! I loved my RMX but I decided to sell it when I saw the first Flatline proto up at Whistler. I like options and the Flatline has tons of options for any thing you want to build. It can be set up for racing, freeriding or anything in between.tup

Which is why that flatline comes with a floating brake. Not that it makes is better, just a bandaid for a problem.

People say this cause the flatline is a single pivot and single pivot do have brakejaking problem. But nobody had ride the bike. I did, and the brakejack wasn't an issue at all with the flatline.
