Agree- it looks like it was designed for cruising the sidewalks, not......
serious mountain biking. The front and rear suspensions have very little travel (appears to be significantly less than 80mm), and I agree with skiwi that the front will have excessive flex for good handling. Looks cool if that is what you are after, but a serious mountain bike? Not!
I'll stick with my GT I-drive race, thanks.

I am in the market for a new bike. I like the looks of them but probably not their price tags.

Not done on bikes, too much weight and overkill.
A single 6" rotor is pretty standard. 8" rotors are used on downhill bikes, and have plenty of power even using just one finger on the lever. Fade is generally not an issue, either.
Motorcycles are a lot heavier, and are going much faster. Way more kinetic energy to dissipate.
(My bike is a Santa Cruz Heckler with Maverick DUC32 fork and XTR with 8" front rotor. My motorcycle is a modified Hawk GT which could use a dual front disk, but a single big rotor with good pads is OK.)
