How would these compare?
Front: 712
Rear: 833

Just the wheels, without tires or cassette.
My prototype CLX50s (50mm rims) were ~1,400g. The production version is lighter -- mine had slightly heavier hubs.

I think max aero has been hit (or close to it), so the focus now is on reducing weight and improving handling (and related to that, delivering comparable aero but better handling and lower weight by reducing depth).

There will always be a market for 64mm depth rims and such (I was going to say deeper, but the CLX64s really obviate the need for most everything beyond that).

The tri-spoke wheels are still interesting for particular use cases.
