"Non Pneumatic tires have already been produced in the cycling industry in multiple ways. The Specialized Alibi is an easy example. The wheels in the article have bigger issues when it comes to handling, especially at higher speeds. Weight also becomes a huge issue. If you remember the older mag wheels, they were heavy and were unstable. Also once out of true, they are worthless. In general the spring design is unnecessary. The tire is the focal point. Although here it seems we would need to replace the entire wheel once the tire is worn? For larger trucks this might make more sense, but it not quite there when it comes to cycling. I think the whole "The high flexibility for design granted by resin has also enabled proposals of next-generation bicycles which have never been seen before." is pretty ridiculous. This is just a hype phrase to promote the supposed strength of these wheels. Great concept, not suitable for the market just yet. "
