Strengths: Superb weight / price ratio. Easy to clean, easy to use (they spin up nice). Fast wheel. Not so common so a little bit of a head turner.Weaknesses: Some (very) minor flex. I can think of nothing else.Bottom Line: Had these since July 2011. I'm 70kg and use this wheel for racing, sportives and all day adventures. I love hills and my bike climbs like a billy goat with these wheels on. The look godd, sound good and have been utterly reliable. Cornering - not an issue and braking with my SRAM set up has been epic. Very powerful.
All in all, my 2011 Rolf Vigors have been brilliant. Highly Recommended. Best wheel I've used (for this purpose !)

Strengths: Aero, strong, light, true. Hand made.Weaknesses: If you ever crunch a rim, as they are paired and patented, will probably have to send to Rolf for rebuild. However, I would want that anyway.Bottom Line: Rolf/Trek era paired spoke Sestieres came with a Paramount Ti. I'm 210 and these were so solid over the years I purchased Rolf Prima wheels. -- A super light Elan to replace a front wheel a motorist pretzeled. -- Later, a Vigor RS wheelset. All are true as first day on bike. The Elan is really too light for my weight yet I've used for time trials for 3 years. The Vigor RS are aero and very strong. I will keep going with Rolf Prima paired spoke aero alum wheels. (Don't trust carbon at this time.)
Purchased At: Rolf thru local bike
Similar Products Used: Have had some nice wheels over the years ... Campy Record with arc'n ceil sewup rims etc. But even 36 spoke cross 3 weren't as strong as 16 spoke Rolfs.
Bike Setup: Paramount Titanium, Campy Chorus, Reynolds carbon fork and bars.

Strengths: Weight, aero properties, hubsWeaknesses: Cross winds!Bottom Line: Been on these now for half a year. A great wheel to be on. Spins up very quickly, is very light (for a full aluminium clincher) and the hubs are fantastic.

Strengths: Fast acceleration, stiff yet smooth and very aero.Weaknesses: none yetBottom Line: I recently went from paired spoke Bontrager race x lites to easton ea90 slx wheels, huge mistake. Beacause Bontrager no longer offers paired spoke x lites i purchased a set of vigors. The vigors are sweet, overall they perform better than the x lites though they are both good wheels.

Strengths: Responsive, light, and cheapBottom Line: Yeah, I've heard the complaints about the weight issues for these wheels, but I have to disagree. I was 220 lbs when I started riding again and pounded on these Vigors for about 1000 miles in 2 months trying to get back in race shape. No cracks in rims, no bend spokes, no bearing issues... nothing!!! Just durable and responsive. For an non-carbon wheel, these Vigors are awesome. I was told by one of the wrenches at my local shop that it really is just a crap shoot with these wheels, some are good some are weak. All I know is mine rock!
