No it's not. It's a regular 4-bar linkage and has one degree of freedom. Nothing needs to flex. Link 1 (Green): Frame with main pivot and rocker pivot (concentric with BB .) Link 2 (Blue): Rocker Link Link 3 (Purple): Pull Link Link 4 (Red): Rear Triangle (And then obviously the other side of the rocker with the shock (orange).)

John Tomac is widely considered one of the greatest (American) mountain bike racers of all time. During the early years of international racing he won numerous DH and XC events.
