Looks heavy...
MTFU is appropriate here...
freedom to ride on uneven paths
sounds like a 27.5 marketing phrase.
It's a ****ing stupid idea, just like any other attempt to add suspension to a wheel.
Is it enduro compatible?
Going by the jogger and tunnel, I'm not sure who they're trying to market it to...

But have to give credit for any attempt at innovation
Physics of the suspension aspect aside,
Regular spokes don't just attach the rim to the hub, they provide structural support to the wheel, no? So what's to stop the wheel from deforming or even collapsing the first time there's a large impact?
Extra strength in the rim, presumably - which is also needed with conventional low spoke count wheels.
I like their guts and innovation but I can't help feeling that flexibility in wheels is the worst thing ever you could want.
