Rolf Prima Elan Aeros. 1300 grams for the set. Probably more climbing and RR, not necesarily for crits.

I think a lot of people are saying the new wheels of the year are the Hed Ardennes. 1360 grams, fairly aerodynamic, and a wide rim to capitalize on the ride quality of 23mm tires that people are using these days.

I'll second the Elan Aeros. I've had a set for the past year or set and have nothing but good things to say about them
