Problem is the lefty fork is also helical hinged. There should be a fair bit of wear and tear issues after a short while with the design.
The hinge design by their nature will most probably have issues once elements of wear and particle contamination to the joint comes into play.
I don't know for sure because I haven't seen it in person, but as I understand the descriptions the fork (and rear) once locked, does not rely on the helical hinge for alignment and firmness of lock. The 2 are independent.
