It do kinda looks like the 404 Hybrid toroidal (second from the left), without bulging wider than the brake-surface itself, but not as straight as the new 404 carbon clincher.
i wouldnt say it looks nothing like.. its way different compared to the classic v-deep rim shape
None of the companies that does wind tunnel testing has a narrow point in the middle of the rim profile. The hybrid toroidal does kick out into the aerodynamic portion, but it doesn't pinch down behind the brake track. I'd have to imagine there's a ton of turbulence at that point.
The point is, ladies and gentleman, that speed, for lack of a better word, is good. Speed is right, Speed works. Speed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
