KNOW-HOW AND KNOWLEDGE EQUALS PEAK PERFORMANCE

We are proud to now be able to offer you what can only be described as frames that are works of art. We can custom build any Parlee with just about anything you like so get in touch and as such all our frames are to order allowing the customer to choose from a stock paint scheme or a custom scheme. We do have an example of the Z5i for viewing.

Bob Parlee is not a fan of short-cuts. After the meteoric initial success of his custom road bike building business, it would have been easy to jump straight into the stock frame arena. But instead Parlee chose the patient path, wanting to first assure he’d fully disseminated rider needs based both on size and riding style.

For more than a decade now, Parlee has painstakingly collected data via his custom operation, conducting a de-facto longitudinal study on the relationship between various tube lengths. The result is an expansive and enlightening database that’s served as both genesis and reference point for Parlee’s ground breaking — and continually evolving — Flex Fit sizing system. Our industry leading Flex-Fit sizing, tapered ENVE Composites all carbon fork combined with a lighter, all carbon, Press-Fit30 bottom bracket ensure the Z5i fits and performs as flawlessly as it looks.

The latest iteration of our heralded Z5 range, the Z5i features our all new integrated cable management system, which cleanly routes all mechanical and electronic drive and brake cabling inside the frame set.

The Z5i is natively compatible with all SRAM 10 and 11 speed systems, Campagnolo mechanical and EPS systems as well as all 10 and 11 speed Shimano mechanical and Di2 systems.

No other stock geometry bike performs this well or looks this tidy.

It’s these minute details that both define the Parlee Z5 as an unmatched stock bike option, and distance it from its less nimble competitors. It’s intelligent evolution defined — and it’s the Parlee way.

Geometry please note the size of the headtube options when ordering your frameset. Price is for frameset (frame, fork, headset, front mech carbon band) only not the bike pictured
