Very interesting design. Small pulleys when needed, then large pulleys as needed, to take up slack. Far cleaner than a goat link. Run a bigger cassette with old school derailleurs? I haven't researched these, so I don't know how big you can go.

Having been watching ridiculous trends in the bike industry for 50 yrs this hits like this:

Assy-metric
Correct me if I’m wrong: The offset pulley disc is always going to orient with the pivot point closest to the bend of the chain.. doesn’t this actually take up *less* slack than if it were simply centered??
This marketing wank relies on you not understanding it
MASSSIVe chain wrap
Screw that nonsense, bring back the three-pulley derailleur cage!

If oversized pulley wheels were actually better, then component manufacturers would put them on their highest end groupsets.
No shade if you want to buy them, but I personally do not believe any of the marketing.
Finally I can run a 56t cassette on my brompton without the derailleur touching the ground
