Collaboration: Polymer Workshop® x Panaracer x Repete

Set in the outskirts of Tokyo, where the weather forecast predicts scattered gravitational shifts and warns citizens of atmospheric abnormalities — rider and protagonist seizes this opportunity to test the new Polymer Workshop® + Panaracer tires, which provide ultimate grip and speed in any conditions.

For this purpose, Repete created two dedicated test builds — the purple R3: Reason road bike and the G2: Verne gravel model — finished in a unique design with exclusive collaborative details. This frameset represents the intersection of shared design values – clean execution, dependable construction, and thoughtful detail.

The Polymer Workshop® + Panaracer collaboration brings together three high-performance tires designed for diverse cycling needs.

This collection features the GRAVELKING X1 R, optimized for gravel with unmatched rolling resistance and aggressive tread; the GRAVELKING Slick R, ideal for smooth roads with light gravel versatility; and the Agilest TLR Fast, a premium racing tire offering speed and precision.
