>>1157871It's better for off road riding, because you can lift most of the unsprung wieght up an over obstacles, whereas you cant do that on the rear and you will destroy wheels.
Not sure what everyone's problem is. I would unironically ride that bike if the conditions called for it. It's like you think just because something popular it must be bad. if that's the way you think, you and the guy in that pic are very similar.
