@michaelxcx

They aren't floating rotors in the video, but if you read the top annotation at around 26 seconds, you will see it says that I have since changed the rotors to Hope Saw disc rotors.

I will let you know when I get a chance to test them out properly. I will probably upload some videos of it in use actually thinking about it...

All Good!!

@Cantrell907

The forks are great. I haven't really put them though heavy use yet as its still pretty wet around here. There's loads of things you can customize on them too. You've got the air pressure, rebound, high speed compression and low speed compression. I've done some fairly small dirt jumps etc in my local woods and that's about it at the moment but hopefully in a few weeks time I will be taking it to a few places around my area where I can ride it properly. Its had an easy life so far!

hows the front susp? im looking at getting one but worried not having a triple tree up front doing the down hill stuff might be a bad idea?
