This bike looks like the guy is riding backwards. I've never seen a bike like it.

I seen somethin similar to this bout a year or so ago. It wasnt the same company, or at least that name doesnt ring familiar. I think that the benefit of this type front end over conventional fork design is rebound and dampening angle.

On a conventional fork you have to have a "rake" thus decreasing your wheelbase when absorbing bumps in the pavement. With this pivot front swingarm design, there would be no change in wheelbase.

That is just my perspective on it, and I am no way an engineer. I cant see how it would steer any better or easier over a conventional fork though.
