The VCX is described by Rolf as being the mud brother to their Vigor road wheel.  It is built up using a more robust wall thickness to withstand the rigors of cyclocross.  The VCX comes in both a tubular and clincher version, with a disc option for both that uses a 135mm rear hub spacing.

The VCX is using the same rim profile as the ECX, but comes in much lighter.  The non-disc clincher is 1525 grams, and the tubular tips the scales at 1550 grams.  Either set will run you $1049

The disc compatible clincher is a bit more stout and has a claimed weight of 1740 grams, while the tubular version is set at 1690 grams.  And while the hubs will accept a rotor, the rims are also machines so you have the option of running your rim brakes as well.  So go ahead, future proof your wheels now!

If neither of these wheelsets seems to strike your fancy, I bet Rolf Prima still has something for you.  Take a look at their entire cyclocross lineup here.  You will find 58mm and 38mm carbon tubulars, the budget friend ECX, the disc ready VCX, as well as an awesome ENO eccentric hub single speed cross wheel (tubular or clincher).  All Rolf Prima wheels are hand built in Eugene, OR.

Hand crafted in the USA, the Rolf Prima VCX Gravel Disc Front Wheel is perfect for tackling rough terrain when you take to the trail.

Perfectly capable whether taking part in Cyclocross or simply shredding with mates, the VCX Gravel Disc is ready and waiting for what the beaten path has to offer. Sporting a superb level of stopping power, this lightweight aluminium wheel has been fine-tuned for tight berms and downhill rides. Boosting performance, you’re certain to set the standards with enhanced aerodynamics.

Technology:

Paired Spoke Technology: Rolf Prima's Paired Spoke technology broke new ground when it was introduced in 1997. Bringing the spokes to the rim in pairs neutralises the left and right outward pulling forces, which allows them to build true wheels on lighter rims with fewer spokes. Fewer spokes and lighter rims help create increased aerodynamics and faster performing wheels.

Differential Flange Diameter™: Rolf Prima's patented oversize non-drive Differential Flange provides the leverage to transmit drive torque in the rear wheel to the non-drive spokes, thereby increasing the number of torque absorbing spokes.
