Actually just google imaged it and the spindle has slits.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out exactly what problem those slits would cause.... and I'm guessing "torsion." The force of cranks on a spindle is to twist the spindle in opposite directions. . . . .

So, I wonder why they're still on their website?

"BRUNO HOFFMANN RIDES OUR NEW AEON CRANK. THE AEON CRANK IS A BRAND NEW PRODUCT FOR 2015. THE IDEA BEHIND THE AEON, WAS TO TAKE THE PROVEN 2 & ½ PIECE SYSTEM AND DESIGN A WAY TO MAKE THE CRANK AS SIMPLE AND AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO INSTALL AND REMOVE FROM YOUR BIKE.
AFTER A YEAR OF TESTING THE END RESULT IS A SUPER STRONG AND RELIABLE CRANK WHICH CAN BE ASSEMBLED WITHIN A MATTER OF MINUTES WITH TWO STANDARD ALLEN KEYS. THIS IS DOWN TO OUR PATENTED EXPANDING SPINDLE SYSTEM (ESS) WHICH CAN ONLY BE FOUND ON THE AEON CRANK."
