Those are pretty nice wheels, but I believe that they use a regular round spokes.
Zipp, HED, and Reynolds use bladed aero spokes.

The new CLXs , which I think are 64mm, have tested well. Looks like owning your own wind tunnel has its benefits.

The CLX 64's are the nicest factory wheels on the market today outside of a custom Enve or Zipp build, even then i would argue it is a wash. You cannot overestimate the importance of a good hub, spoke, and brake track combo, the CLX's nailed it. Our road racing team had a chance to demo the wheels for a weekend and they were surprising to say the least. With the never ending Zipp hub issues these are a really solid buy. They are expensive, even with our very good discount they are pricey, so if i was paying retail i would still favor a custom set of Enve's.
