Just because a wheel is 5-spoke doesn't make it slippery or fast.
Notice how road TT specialists (including top pros) do not use 5 spokes. They use deep dish wheels.
Mavic won't publish wind tunnel results for the Io. All of their "engineering talk" is about their deep dish wheels

Zipp won't make a 5 spoke. Mavic doesn't list a 5 spoke as a TT option.
It's almost as though 5 spokes don't test faster than deep dish wheels
The Io is Mavic's most expensive wheel. You'd think they'd come with "receipts" proving that it's worth every penny. Nope.
