Pretty stoked on these. WTB has a new line of rims available for custom builds, the ASYM.
Stats...are unknown at the moment, other than there are three versions available: i23, i29, and i35, where the number is the inner width. And, they are all all asymmetric, and have WTB's excellent TCS tubeless bead profile.
I know a few bikes have had these rims OE (some Santa Cruz I think?), but I have yet to find any hard data on them, like weight. They're not on WTB's website yet.
Available in 27.5 and 29, I don't think they are doing 26" (my distributors don't have it at least). I've got a set of all three widths in 29er size incoming and will have some actual pics, weights, etc. this weekend or early next week. Prices are in-line with their Frequency series of rims.
Summary So Far - known excellent tubeless profile, offset spoke bed, and really wide options without having to spend carbon rim money. Unless they're just super duper heavy, I imagine these are going to be very popular.
