I did a demo last year on their bike with those wheels. Only 2-3 hours of riding, but thought they felt great. It seemed that the inner width created a better tire profile and felt more planted in the corners at least compared to 42c on 19mm inner width 700 rims.

Here's the tire setup I had. Forget it was asymmetric.

fwiw, Randall the owner, was still running demos out of his house and we chatted a bit about the setup. Talked about the tire squirm which he said reducing was definitely a design goal in the 650B width He's also a big proponent of shorter cranks and convinced me to switch down to 165mm after trying it out on the demo.
