Just a quick shout to give you a first glimpse of Rocky Mountain's new Flatline Pro.

After a lot of help from Pete at Silverfish UK, we've finally got our grubby mits on the Canadian brand's latest downhill sled. Weaver and myself took a bit of time out at sandwich o'clock to throw her together before we get a chance to waggle a spanner and some scales at it properly.

Initial impressions are good though; we're into the old-school Rocky colourway and the bike is super-low with an extremely nice spec for the pricetag. This is the second bike in the Flatline range and features a RockShox Boxxer Race fork along with a Vivid 4.1 rear shock and some neat bits from Race Face, SRAM and e*thirteen.

Anyway, once she's built we're straight out for some runs down the local testing facility so keep your eyes peeled on the mag for a thorough review soon. In the meantime, check out this 'ere video of Rocky Mountain pro-rider Scott Beaumont's own Flatline. Factory!
