I can just imagine them after 10 minutes rolling through claggy mud.
Not the lightest of upgrades, I reckon.

Your first mistake was to take them seriously.
Yeah they're a bit odd. How would you get new tyres for them? How would you get big tyre manufacturers to make tyres since they are so niche and expensive and not main stream? How do they get mainstream without more support from tyre manufacturers? But... kudos for having a go, people inventing shit is what keeps the wheel turning, as it were. 🙂
Yeah, but shit like this has been invented before (no matter what their patents say) - there's a reason it hasn't taken off.
apart from the $2.5k price tag you mean aracer, why else?
When I was working in a bike shop, a guy came in asking whether we had any of those solid tyres. We told him that they were crap unless you liked a heavy, grip free tyre. He then told us he was selling them and whether we'd like any to try 😳
I see parallels with these wheels.
Why else? Because they're a bit shit compared to the obvious alternative.
