Carbitex, a leader in carbon fiber composites for sport performance and lifestyle products, has partnered with Hypetex Coloured Advanced Materials to introduce a bold new chapter in carbon fiber innovation: a colored line of Carbitex's OmniFlex material.

For the first time, Carbitex's advanced carbon fiber textile technology will be available in eight vibrant colorways — Enzo Twill, Oak Twill, Malabar Twill, Bolt Twill, Spa Twill, Tendulkar Twill, Zidane Twill, and Titanium Twill — breaking the tradition of carbon fiber's signature black aesthetic. The colored materials maintain all of OmniFlex's hallmark performance features: zero-stretch construction, lightweight durability, and the unique ability to flex while transferring force like a rigid material.

Junus Khan, Carbitex founder and president, said: "Our core strength has always been engineering flexible composites, but color has been a frequent request. With Hypetex's expertise, we're delivering a solution that's as beautiful as it is high-performance, without compromising on quality."

Hypetex, known for its advanced colorization of composite materials, brings its proprietary CAM (Coloured Advanced Materials) technology to the collaboration, enabling designers to explore a new fusion of aesthetics and function. The colored OmniFlex materials are set to appear across a range of high-performance and design-focused applications in sectors like cycling, travel, and premium lifestyle products.
