It'd be interesting to see how other rims are welded. Perhaps there are many other rims that use this technology. Especially since bicycle rims are noted in the TWI article.
They do also say the Bondi Rim "... features a unique wide design which spreads the impact load of harsh landings more thoroughly" I don't know about that. They're also lower profile, which would reduce stiffness radially. I would expect this rim can take a hit axially (i.e. Whips, spins, etc)
Note: TWI is a very reputable resource for info on welding. We used them for some research on titanium welding.
