Comfort is performance.
In pursuit of the finest
carbon fiber bicycle in the world.
Parlee Cycles is a carbon fiber bicycle brand founded in 2000 by Bob Parlee in Beverly, Massachusetts. After more than twenty years working with composites as a boat builder, he started Parlee with a single goal: to build the best bicycle in the world. Every Parlee is built one at a time by the hands of skilled craftspeople, guided by Bob Parlee's design philosophy.
Parlee sees performance through the lens of 'energy management'. Whether a ride lasts 40 minutes, 4 hours or 4 days, the less energy you lose to road vibration and fatigue, the more power you have left. Sophisticated carbon layups, fit components tailored to the rider's body, and geometry that fits more riders all grow from this philosophy.
Feel better, ride faster.
When your body is at ease, you go faster.
A bike should feel like an extension of the rider's body. Parlee pursues that goal through progressive design, complex carbon layups and a fit-first approach applied to both production and custom models. It is a brand for riders who expect excellence and want to be inspired in the saddle.
Parlee focuses on making riders more comfortable, to reduce fatigue and raise performance. Above all, Parlee's builders genuinely care about the person who will ride the bike they build.
Comfort is not the opposite of performance. Comfort is the very source of performance.
Every Parlee carries the touch of the builder who made it, along with an endless pursuit of better engineering.
Honesty, authenticity, and standing behind what we make to the very end. Parlee is a brand that values its riders and partners.
Because we make fewer, each one can be special. Parlee always builds by hand.
“We founded Parlee in 2000 with one simple but ambitious goal: to build the best bicycle in the world.”
After more than twenty years in boat building, I knew what composites were capable of. Carbon fiber was clearly the material that could take performance bicycles to the next level, but at the time its potential was far from fully realized. Carbon lets you optimize the size and shape of each tube and finely tune weight, strength, durability and compliance. The more you refine layup schedules and molding techniques, the lighter, faster and more comfortable the bike becomes.
Today carbon fiber is the material of nearly every performance bicycle, and with that, carbon can turn designers into stylists. But style must never be mistaken for performance. Unnecessary shapes only add weight and degrade the ride. It is like putting fins on a car: it may look great, but it will not make the car any faster.
Our principle is efficiency. From road racing and daily training to cyclocross and all-day gravel adventures, we use carbon strategically to deliver exactly the performance each purpose demands. Performance tuned to the goal and fit tuned to the body: that is what defines a Parlee.
Bob Parlee, founder of Parlee Cycles

The Ouray is Parlee's vision of the modern road bike. Quicker off the line, more stable at speed, and designed for real-world road conditions. Where other road platforms emphasize either comfort or speed, the Ouray strikes a balance between the two, creating a bike that is fast, confident and eager to go any distance.
Its light construction and refined handling make it feel natural on long solo rides, segment hunts and weekend adventures alike. A bike that lets you hold race-bike speed all day long: that is the Ouray.
Building on the legacy of the Z5 and the Altum, the Ouray opens a new era for Parlee road bikes. A sloping top tube and dropped stays tune compliance for all-day comfort, while improved lateral and torsional stiffness carries speed without effort. A stable wheelbase keeps the bike planted on the road, and the monocoque carbon frame filters out road buzz without dulling the feedback from the surface.
Aerodynamically clean lines and purpose-driven shapes cut drag, preserving momentum on long, exposed climbs and descents. The result is clear: a road bike that is decisively faster, lighter and more capable than the generation before it.
Where the Ouray truly shines is its composure. Into a corner, it grips the asphalt with a planted confidence that keeps you calm and fast. Broken pavement, endless roadworks and neglected country lanes pass beneath it without hesitation.
With clearance for tires up to 40mm, you can run wider rubber for comfort, grip or winter roads without losing speed. Enjoy race-bike speed without the aches, and without white-knuckling the bars.
Designed by Parlee's engineering team and finished by hand by craftspeople in Portugal, the Ouray frame is built with a precise carbon layup that leaves no excess weight. Because every ply sits exactly where it should, no filler, cosmetic layers or adhesives are needed. So there is nothing to hide.
This method demands the highest level of carbon expertise, which is why few other manufacturers attempt it. Thanks to it, each frame emerges from the mold with a flawless surface. That is why Parlee offers the Ouray in raw carbon with a subtle wax coating.
Every frame is made in small batches, one at a time, and individually assembled to order at Parlee's headquarters in the US. Once you choose a frame size, fit components are selected to match your body measurements, so the bike suits both your size and your riding style.
With Parlee Paint Lab, the customization possibilities are (nearly) endless. Thanks to size-specific geometry and personalized component choices, the Ouray fits more riders well, right from the start.

The End of Compromise.
Bringing a fragmented
gravel world together.
As gravel splinters into ever more specialized niches, the Parlee Taos brings them all together. Why compromise when you can have it all?
The Taos was built for the future of gravel, and it looks the part. It is a modern gravel bike that truly comes alive where the pavement ends. In 2025, BikeRadar and CyclingPlus named the Taos their Gravel Bike of the Year.
This is not a road bike disguised as a gravel bike. With exceptional handling and forward-thinking engineering, it turns every ride into an epic adventure.
Designed for instant acceleration and all-day performance. Speed is in the Taos DNA.
Fit, style and finish. Every Parlee is personalized to reflect the rider who rides it.
Finished by hand down to the smallest detail, a Parlee rides unlike any other bike. You can feel 25 years of experience on every ride.
No more choosing between the bone-rattling stiffness of a race bike and the heavy, sluggish feel of an adventure build. One bike that unites high-speed efficiency with composure on rough terrain. This is the future of gravel.
SET UP TO RIDE YOUR WAYDrift Blue · Northern Olive
With longer, slacker geometry, the Taos makes a bold break from conventional gravel bikes. But every choice has a reason. One look tells you this is no road bike with wide tires squeezed in. The Taos is a concept designed from the ground up to inspire almost addictive confidence.
The monocoque frame construction is not only extremely light but also delivers better power transfer. A torsionally stiff lower section and a compact, sloping front triangle smooth out the ride and make the rider faster.
Progressive design and a meticulously refined carbon layup deliver an entirely new gravel experience. A long reach and slack head angle provide confident, stable handling at speed, while a low BB and short chainstays smooth out rough surfaces and keep the bike planted through corners and descents.
With high-speed stability and maximum power transfer, it conquers rough terrain, devours the flats and flies up the climbs. Each of the six frame sizes has its own dedicated layup and geometry, delivering the same ride from the smallest size to the largest.
With generous 50mm tire clearance and suspension-corrected geometry, the off-road options are endless. A removable front derailleur mount supports both 1x and 2x setups, and you can add a suspension fork or even choose mountain bike tires without compromising the ride.
Simply swapping tires delivers an outstanding ride on completely different surfaces. Smooth, low-tread tires suit the pavement, while wide knobby tires take on rougher terrain. Generous internal down tube storage, fender mounts, top tube bag mounts and stealth dropper post routing. Whether you are racing the clock or chasing the sun, it is ready for any adventure.
The precision layup, made by hand by craftspeople in Portugal, carries no dead weight. Every carbon ply is placed exactly where intended, creating a frame that needs no cosmetic layers, filler or adhesives. Unlike mass-produced carbon frames, there is nothing to cover up.
This painstaking construction produces a perfect surface straight from the mold. That is why the Taos is offered in fully nude carbon with a wax finish. No need to worry about cosmetic damage like paint chips or scratches.
Every frame is made in small batches, one at a time, and individually assembled to order at Parlee's headquarters in the US. Once you choose a frame size, fit components are selected to match your body measurements. Choose a standard build and paint, or pick every detail yourself. After all, it is your bike.
Logo color options, standard paint schemes, all the way to fully custom paint. The customization possibilities are (nearly) endless.
Final Frontier Patagonia is an ultra challenge that starts in Puerto Montt, Chile, and finishes at the end of the world in Ushuaia, Argentina. Pavement and gravel, remote dirt roads, steep climbs, ferry crossings, unpredictable weather and long stretches beyond the reach of resupply: on this route, the bike becomes a partner in survival and exploration.
When rider Dave Arthur asked which bike could take on the challenge, Parlee's answer was the Taos. Opening the door to bigger rides, wilder places and stories worth telling: that is what Parlee believes a good bike should do.

Exceptional Performance.
Epic Days. Big (S)miles.
The best just got better.
For more than 25 years, Parlee's Z Series has set the standard for craftsmanship, quality and iteratively refined design. Parlee's multi-award-winning flagship road platform is built by hand by craftspeople in a small workshop 45 minutes north of Boston.
Completely reimagined for 2025, the Z-Zero GT is a love letter to the road and a reaffirmation of the value of building a bike for one rider rather than for everyone. It is designed to cover long distances over countless mountains with speed and luxurious comfort. Wherever it goes, it is a modern classic that will turn heads for generations.
A Parlee is the culmination of engineering. It is a reaction against uniform design and anonymous mass production, and a testament to the value of bespoke craftsmanship. From the visible surfaces to the places no one sees, it pursues perfection to the extreme.
Every custom Z Series reflects the rider's own style, pushing limits and outpacing the competition. The GT embodies the future of road cycling and an endless desire to explore.
The Z Series has always represented the highest standard of build quality. With the GT, the carbon layup has been optimized once again for comfort, responsiveness and astonishing speed. It is the fastest Z Series ever and the lightest bike in its family.
A precise carbon layup refined over 25 years absorbs vibration, leaving only fine sensation and a pure connection to the road.
The GT's handmade frame showcases the pinnacle of carbon fiber technology and delivers the smoothest ride in the world. Using Parlee's own methods, the carbon layup has been optimized even further, elevating comfort, responsiveness and astonishing speed together.
An all-new layup and design shave a remarkable 187g off the previous model. A stronger, lighter full-carbon UDH chainstay module opens up compatibility with current and future drivetrains. The fully integrated fork, designed and built in-house by Parlee, offers a clean look with no exposed cables, one-piece bar and stem compatibility, and clearance for tires up to 40mm. Working in harmony, the frame and fork improve ride quality, aerodynamics and perceived speed alike.
The GT was redesigned from the ground up to maximize handling and boost rider comfort and efficiency. The BB sits 10mm lower than on a typical road bike, lowering the center of gravity, and this small, subtle change noticeably increases stability. The new, stiffer chainstay module transfers pedaling torque to the road without loss.
From asphalt to farm roads and the occasional gravel, the GT meets any surface with its signature confidence.
Each of the GT's 12 standard sizes (Race or Sport geometry) has its own reference geometry and ships with a combination of crank length, stem length, handlebar width, seatpost setback and saddle width tailored to the individual rider.
Reference sizes are only the beginning. Choose a fully bespoke Z-Zero GT and you get geometry and a frame configuration tailored to your profile. It is an ultra-precise process that makes the GT feel like part of your body. And Parlee Paint Lab turns any color and design you can imagine into reality.

Honoring 25 years of heritage, this limited-edition Z-Zero GT celebrates founder Bob Parlee and his contributions to the cycling industry and to carbon fiber engineering. Parlee's vision of 'the best bicycle in the world' is completed with limited-edition components from engineering leaders around the globe. Only 25 will be made, and never again.
What does it mean to build the best? In 1999, Bob Parlee set aside his career as a boat builder to answer that question. From day one, his goal was the best bicycle in the world, and every morning he woke up thinking about what the best could be.
Building the best is genuinely hard. Bob never stopped, even when the work got difficult. The team that worked alongside him every day until his passing in late 2024 decided to carry his vision forward and build a bike in his honor.
The formula was always simple. Source the finest materials, entrust them to the most skilled people, and give them the time and space to make something beautiful. Add the best components available, and you have the best bike money can buy.
Bob always had paper and pencil at hand, and his sketches were filled with elegant hatching to render light and shadow. Those lines, the motif behind the Parlee head badge, now appear in deep candy blue on the top tube and the bar and stem. Hand-applied 24K gold leaf recalls the gilded signs of the old sailing ships Bob worked on in his youth.
Bob was a quiet man who preferred the workbench to the telephone. Ask him to describe how a bike rode and he would simply answer, "Ride it." Before long, the team had come to call that answer 'Ride The F***ing Bike'. On hard days, or when your head is full, the answer may just be to get on the bike and keep pedaling.
Founded in 2006 and located on the ground floor of the headquarters, Parlee Paint Lab is regarded as one of the finest bicycle painting teams in North America. Their craft, which has pioneered new finishes on carbon fiber, shines in every detail of the 25th Anniversary Edition.
Custom doesn't have to be complicated.
12 reference geometries,
endless fit possibilities.
For more than 25 years, Parlee's mission has never changed: to build the best bicycle in the world. Every Parlee Z Series has always been made 100% by hand in Beverly, Massachusetts, for the one person who will ride it.
Parlee's unmatched customization capability is the result of a multilayered process that begins with one simple principle: listening. Parlee knows that the most important part of building a custom bike is communication between the rider, the fitter and the builder.
By analyzing custom fit data gathered over more than 25 years, Parlee created 12 reference geometries. Each can be adjusted as far as the rider's body measurements and riding style require, resulting in the widest range of geometry available in custom carbon fiber.
Every custom design is developed with Parlee's proprietary CAD system, which models the rider's contact points and aligns them with the actual frame geometry. Once the rider approves, the production team determines the exact dimensions and carbon layup schedule for a perfect fit and a better ride.
Every Parlee ships with components matched to the rider's measurements. Crank length, cockpit dimensions, saddle width and seatpost offset are chosen for each individual. Shimano, Campagnolo or SRAM groupsets, along with ZIPP, HED, ENVE or whatever else you want, can all be specified.
We aim for some of the fastest lead times in the custom industry. Schedules stay predictable, and riders can follow along as their bike is built. (Based on shipping from the US workshop.)
HAND-BUILT IN BEVERLYFrom design to finish, in six steps
Everything begins with the rider's fit data. Using custom CAD software, we draw the blueprint of the perfect bike, then send every detail as a document for review before a single tube is made.
We start with premium UD prepreg carbon, the benchmark for high-performance composites. Every tube and subassembly is made by hand for the individual rider, and nothing is made in advance.
Tubes are selected and assembled to deliver the ride the rider wants. Mitered tubes are joined to lugs by hand to tune stiffness, and correct fiber orientation is the key to frame strength and ride quality.
Parlee's proprietary heat and pressure process creates an unbreakable bond. This molding process ensures a consistent surface finish.
Before paint or wax, each frame is hand-sanded and cleaned. Carbon fittings such as cable stops and front derailleur mounts are all made in-house, creating the lightest and strongest connection between frame and components.
Meticulous wet sanding through progressively finer grits produces a mirror-like gloss. Painted or left nude, the Z-Zero GT is made to stand out anywhere.
Every Parlee Z-Zero is built in Parlee's state-of-the-art workshop in Beverly, Massachusetts. The Z-Zero GT pictured is finished with a gloss clear coat over carbon and Rolling Thunder logos.
At Rubi Workshop in Seoul, we guide you through every step of a Parlee bespoke build, from measuring your fit data and confirming geometry to paint design and aftercare once your bike is delivered.
