Those are Specialized's house brand wheels. I believe 2007 was their starting year under the Roval name (Spec'd has made its own wheels in the past but got away from it for a long time then launched Roval wheels). From what I remember, they were overpriced then, though they've come down in price since and supposedly have gotten some design improvements.

To answer your main question, yes, there are many more durable wheelsets out there. If you tend to break spokes or are a heavy rider (unless those breaks were flukes or due to rim failure), go for a higher spoke count wheel (at least 24 spokes) using something like DT swiss or OpenPro hubs.
