Brooklyns use what they call jackshaft i think,basically uses the gearing to have the chain on the pivot.....think it keeps the chainlength the same thus no stretching or **** when you use like 10" of travel.

This on the other hand.....

Problem is atm they're not fully standardised (afaik) so the I Drive and the one on the Nikolai (I can't remember the name) as well as other gearboxes such as the one used by Thorn ar not interchangerable, and are all different...

It's a trials bike so it's low profile, although some do have saddles.

Just checked on Evan's site, the 2007 Hardrock is out but "call for details" and no signs on the rockhopper yet. I guess its just round the corner.
