Any rumors on what the 2012 Flatline will look like? After the redesign of the Slayer it will be interesting to see if the Flatline will follow in a similar design. Seems like even more weight could be shed off the frame if the smoothlink suspension design was adapted to a DH frame.

Looks like there's going to be three different models for 2012Smile

Only two.
2012 WC is the Black/Grey one, same spec as this year I believe (or of a similar level)
2012 Pro is the Blue White, again similar/same spec as this year
2012 Park (Not for retail) is blue/yellow
EDIT-Never mind, WC is a well different spec.

Loving the WC. Maybe that could entice me off my V10.

Have read some really good reviews online. Apparently really well balanced etc...

Good review on Decline:

Looks awesome. Just trying to decide between that and a V10C.

Can't find any info on that anywhere - even when I emailed Rocky directly. However I'll hopefully be seeing a Black Out frame this afternoon so I'll get a frame weight...

Yeah with the build kit it has this year I cant see is being nearly as heavy as prevous years. Interesting to see the frame weight tho!

Alrighty, my frame arrived today. i say 'My' because I was deciding between this and a new V10. Coming off an 09 V10 I had figured it might be time to try something a little different. This is the first Blackout frame in Australia and 30 seconds after it was out of the box I was saying "I'll take it."

We did put it on the scales a respectable 5.5kg's (12.1lbs). Not that light but not too bad. Looks amazing in real life. Can't weight to build it up! Hmmm, Kashima coated 40's or Boxxer World Cups...

My new Frame...
