Tête de la Course – Project One ICON premium bike paint scheme

Made for the world’s stage 

Tête de la Course ("Head of the race") is a mesmerising blend of metallic lavender with tinted fades of pink, red and blue that move and change in different light. Like glass reflecting the sun, this dynamic paint scheme is constantly showing off a new side of itself – and turning heads wherever it goes.

Just ask world-renowned triathlete and Olympic champion Alex Yee.

While there’s no doubt gold suits him best, Yee took this stunning Project One ICON colourway all the way to the podium.

Whether you’re competing at the highest level like Alex or looking to impress your local group ride with a bike that looks like it belongs in the Louvre, Tête de la Course makes every ride feel like a victory lap.

Available on all premium road models. Not available on Checkmate SLR gravel platforms.

The process

Starting with diamonds mined right here in Waterloo, WI, our Project One team of experts blend... just kidding. While we love to give you behind-the-scenes intel on our latest paint schemes, this recipe is locked in the vault. Maybe one day we’ll share the secret ingredients to Tête de la Course, but for now, you’ll just have to admire the artistry and let your imagination do the rest.
