Parcours, a U.K.-based wheel brand, partnered up with 'Hypetex,' a materials specialist, to launch the 'Parcours x Hypetex limited edition wheels.' These limited edition wheels are colored carbon fibre wheels, which is a rarely-seen product due to the difficulty in safely coloring carbon fibre materials.
Hypetex offers sustainable coloring technology through a paint-replacing process that uses eco-resins and a curing process, resulting in a high-quality paint job that does not fade quickly. In celebration of the collaboration, Hypetex and Parcours are launching just ten special edition gold carbon fibre wheelsets. The other colors will not be limited to ten units.
The wheels are currently available for purchase, with sales opening up on April 25th, 2023. The wheels are estimated to ship in mid June. When speaking on the collaboration, Hypetex stated: "Coloured carbon fibre has endless possibilities with applications in almost every sector. We’re extremely excited to be working with a leading brand in its sector such as Parcours."
