I hear you. It’s easy to get sucked into the marketing narrative when brands launch new products, but Parcours has never been one to overhype things. The British wheel brand has always aimed to keep things relatively simple, and was among the very first to embrace the virtues of wider rims. Having tested much of the range over the past six years, starting with the original Parcours Strade in 2020 and then the Alta and FKT gravel wheelsets, I’ve always been impressed by how Parcours has managed to stay abreast of trends and sometimes even beat more internationally established brands to market with new ideas that work well.
What makes its newest offering to enter the best road bike wheels space, the Strade GT, all the more impressive is that the company has sought to enhance the riding experience by utilising recycled carbon fibre in a clever, functional way, thanks to a partnership with composites experts, Lineat.
