Why the solid front rotor?

Wonder why they opted for the solid front rotor. Unusual choice for a premium bike.

Good point. Heard that same thing from several video reviewers as well.

Loading the front fork and compressing the front tire to get max available traction, and trailing off pressure to the apex is what I have in mind. Trail braking is a must for my style of riding.

Your approach certainly can work, but it has limits in certain situations.

Well unless you go to a track I seriously doubt you'll ever feel the difference to floating, except when you have to replace them, costs x2. Floats are great for getting rid of lots of heat without heating the calipers/fluid. I find the brakes to be just fine for max hooning. I use the brakes a lot in the twisties, seems a quality piece of kit for a std bike.
