All the mavic touring rims are 25mm (about 19mm internal).
I don't know of any rims like that for 28h or less. There is no reason to have fewer spokes for a training wheel. If you wanted to go faster you'd use a deeper rim and/or bladed spokes before thinking of weight.
The reason you see lots of people training on low spoke count wheels is mostly because that's what factory wheels are. They work OK, are cheap, but can be a PITA to rebuild.

Thanks! Sorry, I should have been more specific.
The Rigida / Ryde rim is a touring rim that only comes in 32+ spoke holes. One of the Velocity rims is the same. The other wide Velocity is disc-specific, annoyingly, and this is for a rim-brakey roady-bikey.
I can't find a 25mm Mavic? What model is the rim?
