In November 2013, we released the Gold deck. Over the weeks that followed, we received rave reviews and requests to design a red deck. Shortly after that, we traveled to the world's capital of luxury: Paris. The city's unique atmosphere and the haute couture inspired the creation of the Bicycle® Excellence. A masterpiece of pure elegance and sophistication.

The Bicycle® Excellence celebrates the beauty of Elite's craftsmanship. Premium tuck case made with highly reflective gold foil, metallic inks and more. Flawless finesse for professionals and collectors.

When you open a fresh pack of Bicycle® Excellence, the first thing you'll notice is the smooth finish of the cards. They are made from a linen textured stock and finished with a soft coating. They handle like silk. It feels smooth like velvet. Instead of ink, the design is created entirely from several layers of highly reflective gold foil.
