An integrated semi-independent suspension and drivetrain system for a vehicle including a swing arm (12) with a swing mount (14) for pivotally mounting the swing arm (12) to the vehicle, an axle carrier (16) for mounting an axle assembly (18), the axle carrier being rotatably mounted to the swing arm (12) to allow the axle assembly (18) to roll about a suspension roll axis, a driven sprocket (20) substantially centrally attached to the axle assembly (18) for rotating the axle assembly (18), a drive sprocket (22) for transferring rotational power to the driven sprocket (20), a flexible coupling (24) mechanically linking the driven sprocket (20) to the drive sprocket (22), a constant velocity joint (25) centrally disposed on the drive spocket (20) axle to allow alignment of the drive sprocket (22) relative with the driven sprocket (20). The suspension and drivetrain system may include a brake assembly (50) where the driven sprocket (20) includes a brake surface.
