Hubless bikes have been around for years. I think that design may actually be the first one ... from 2004 (link). I suspect that the brakes are some sort of variation on drum brakes, front suspension looks somewhat conventional and I bet the forks flex a fair bit. Rear, well its probably a rigid.

I just found an even older bike:
