This being a kickstarter makes it a non-starter for me but it looks pretty promising: Hopefully they work great and become popular.

    Looks like they are using a nickel titanium alloy for the shape and some exotic polymer for the covering. So, yeah non-pneumatic.

    The current cost to own a pair is quite high and really unlikely to come down significantly in price though

    • If this actually takes off, price should come down substantially.

      Kickstarters aren’t known for manufacturing prowess or efficiencies of scale.

      Given the materials it’ll always be expensive, but there’s a lot of room to come down if these are sold in the 10s or 100s of millions
