Iplay newest and special design hookless rims IP-HR925C, as you could see from below geometry.

Weight: 420+/- 15g/piece

What is the internal width (the inside width where the tire bead sits)?

The current hookless rims I have purchased from you are 30mm on the outside like this rim and 26mm on the inside.

What is the advantage to this new design?

It appears that this new design may have more rigidity compared to the other design.  Perhaps a bit more aerodynamic advantage as well.  But I am only speculating.

^^ good question.. they look pretty close. Wonder what the real difference is between the two.

The rim shape/profile being the obvious difference. Increased strength and rigidity would be welcome updates to the design.

We copied Specialized design.

OD is 26mm, ID is 22mm

We copied Specialized design.

Good choice.

Hey Peter, do you guys plan on imitating any of the specialized frames? Possibly some of the more all mountain full suspension designs such as the Enduro? Seems there is plenty of market demand for those types of frames - I'd personally be interested in one.

Other than just copying the S design what are the advantages of the new design.  Lighter, stronger?    Do you have any testing to show the difference.  I wonder if the extended round side profile is more prone to rock strikes?

Looks Nice, but are they lighter and stronger Peter?
