Generally, trials unis are noticably heavier than freestyle or standard unis but the extra bounce from the tyre more than makes up for it. It is definately easier to hop higher. More importantly though (in my opinion) a trials rim and tyre will give you better grip and a wider riding/landing surface for technical stuff like rails and gaps with small landing surfaces.

Yes, you can definately hop higher on a trials uni.

They're a lot heavier, but with a bigger tire you can get more bounce. My friend was trying to try a five foot drop, so he dropped his trials unicycle off it, and it bounced the whole five feet back up to him.
