Looks like someone trying to re-invent the wheel.
What are the benefits?

Profit. see modern mountain bike "standards" for example

Looks like the corner teeth would be gone way before the side teeth would show much wear.

Continually dropping the chain. Oh wait.. you said benefits..

00:30 seconds, watch the derailleur happily skipping away, up and down, while the operator runs it through the torture test of slowly and smoothly turning the crank, with zero resistance on the wheels.


Also, video first posted April 2nd, 2018. It's possible they got the date of April Fool's day wrong.

No, anything but round is going to destroy knees, deraliers, chains and sprockets.
Personally I have always thought biopace was garbage.
