Agreed, but that is what it says. One could assume some sort of typo, but with something as readily available as wheels, I would go for one with a spec that made sense instead. And the rim's suitability for rim braking (poor) can be judged by the pic. There's a slim chance that there'd be a disc brake center mount on the other side of the hub, but why guess? I thought center-mount wasn't compatible with 20 mm thru-axles anyhow.
As far as usage goes, it is an odd combo. Thru-axle is heavy duty, and (to me) usually associated with riding that calls for brakes. Mabye some sort of overgrown BMX/ vert bike?
