Update 26.06:
I have finally been able to set up and ride my new wheels and I can only confirm my 5* review. I think they look amazing on my TCR, with the 52mm depth and understated elegant finish matching the frame perfectly. Came in at ~1028g with tape, which is pretty much spot on the claimed weight. Not only that, I really put them through their paces by using them for the Sportful Dolomiti Race last weekend, one of the hardest Granfondos in Europe with 5000m of climbing (and thus also descending). Felt really snappy on the climbs and nice and stiff on the descent, paired with 30mm Pirelli PZero they gave me loads of confidence and the transition between wheel and rim was spot on.
I had no problem setting them up tubeless with the provided valve and tape and they held air just fine. Putting the tire on was a bit of a struggle, but that was the same on my previous rims as well with the Pirelli.
I will definitely be looking at Particle again for any future upgrade or ne bike build!

Original review 23.05: Very pleased and excited by my new GCX Hyperlights. The specs are amazing and the feeling in the hands is great. I have just mounted them and will take them out for a proper ride soon. I will update the review with pictures and ride impressions as soon as I get the chance.
Ordering and delivery process was smooth, only a little long but understandable given the way from China to Europe and the production time, as these are made to order.
On top of everything, customer support has been outstanding. Patrick was very happy with explaining to me the various differences between specs before my purchase, to make sure I made the best choice. He also was extremely supportive after delivery, when I had some doubts to be clarified (turned out nothing wrong in the end, just my lack of experience with high-end wheels!).
Totally recommended, I will be definitely looking again at Particle for future purchases.
