Someone posted about them on mtbr and they piqued my curiosity. at approx. $500 they're not cheap, but they're cheaper than Enve and according to their claims they have undergone pretty substantial, independant 3rd party testing. But I'm no materials or structural engineer, so I don't really know if the study they link to on their site is valid. Also, I'd be curious to hear 'real world' experience, as opposed to just lab test results.

anyways, they tick all the boxes I'm looking at for my trail bike: 400g, 24mm inner width, strong, carbonium.
