The brakes use normal hydraulic lines, the red bars are rods for the steering. They transmit force directly, not using hyraulics to the best of my knowledge.

in an engineering way ... it's sexy.
in a biker way... I don't want horizontal forks...
in a honest way... I like it as its differant and cutting edge.

Cutting edge

It looks like they tried to make the front look like a swing arm but had to make drastic and impractical modifications to get the whole thing to work.
