Thoughts?

FWIW I realized marketing drives all. I have disc and standard caliper bikes. Am I faster on one verses the other? Nope. To me to go fast its all in the fit and performance of the bike. If you're on the brakes you're not going fast. It appears to be a plead to save the company. Sorry about being very not thoughtful in the title or not having made any comments. Hopefully I redeemed myself by my edit. I enjoy this community and am very glad to be part of it.

New and improved! Marketing to sell more bikes and or comonents.

The title is "Rim Brake Resurgence? The TriRig Omega One".

The video is made by TriRig, featuring the founder of TriRig.

I should preface this by saying that I've used TriRig brakes before. The main draw is the aero savings (and lighter mass), and not braking performance. This particular version of the TriRig brake went on sale about three years ago, and there's nothing suggesting that there is a rim brake resurgence in general or a mini-resurgence due to TriRig brakes per se.

What is the case is that at $275 a brake new, it's become increasingly difficult for TriRig to sell these, given that most who buy new are going with disk brakes, and people who modify existing set-ups aren't likely to shell out for these brakes.

All in all, much more likely that it's a marketing pitch, particularly so, because I received promotions from TriRig on this particular video, despite having previously asked to be removed from its mailing list. From its perspective, perhaps worth a try, but quite a lot of hype, and I speak as someone who commissioned a rim brake frameset last year.

The video is trying to get you to buy something. Everything said in the video can be safely disregarded.

I stopped listening when he said "triathlete".
