All went very smoothly, no tyre levers required. Used 2 layers of tape, since there was plenty in the kit. Weight is slightly below claimed at 500g for the pair. Width is 28mm; you'd probably have to mount them on 13mm rims to get them down to a true 25.
Tyres don't seem to want to stay up on the bead shelf when deflated, which negates one of the touted safety benefits of tubeless. There are two versions of the rim cross section drawing floating about, and neither of them looks like it has been designed to keep the tyre on the rim.
