OVERVIEW
The Parlee Z-Zero GT
Liquid error (sections/productpage-overview line 13): invalid url input
The Parlee Z-Series has set the standard for craft, quality and meticulous, iterative design for over 25 years.
Our flagship, award-winning road platform is built by hand by artisans in a small shop 45 minutes north of Boston (USA).
It doesn’t get any better than a Parlee Z-Series.
Built different
A Parlee bike is BUILT. DIFFERENT. Each bike we make is a representation of the value of bespoke craft and a reaction against cookie-cutter design and anonymous mass production. Each custom Z-series reflects the rider's unique style, pushing boundaries and outperforming the competition. From the impeccable surfaces you see to the ones you don’t, Parlee has taken the pursuit of perfection to extremes.
For one, not all
The all-new for 2025, Parlee Z-Zero GT is a love letter to the road and a reaffirmation of the value of building bikes for one, not all—a bike designed to cover mountains of miles (and miles of mountains) at high speed and luxurious comfort. The GT represents the future of road cycling and an endless urge to explore. Wherever the road may take you. A consummate modern classic guaranteed to turn heads for generations.
Get ready for goosebumps
The Z-Series has always represented the highest standards of build quality. With the GT, we deployed the legendary Parlee approach, further optimizing the carbon lay-up for comfort, responsiveness and startling speed. Not only is the GT the fastest Z-Series bike we've ever made, but it's also the lightest of its kind.
The new smooth
Our infamously intricate carbon layups have been iterated on for 25 years to deliver the best riding bike in the world. The frame soaks up vibrations, leaving you with an exquisite sense of feel and an unadulterated connection to the road.
IN DEPTH
A Precise Powerhouse
The Z-Series has always represented the highest standards of build quality. With the GT, we deployed the legendary Parlee approach, further optimizing the carbon lay-up for comfort, responsiveness and startling speed. Not only is the GT the fastest Z-Series bike we've ever made, but it's also the lightest of its kind.
The GT flows through the miles with assured control and telling comfort. It corners with pinpoint precision, telegraphing the changes under your wheels while absorbing the bumps to keep you focused on the next turn. Each press of the pedals hustles you to ever greater effort and speeds. The GT’s handmade frame represents the epitome of carbon fiber expertise and delivers the world's smoothest ride.
Goosebumps guaranteed!
Leading From the Front
The Z-Series has led with cutting-edge technology. We were the first to make a sub-1000g frame and the first to embrace disc brakes and electronic shifting. The GT moves the dial further, faster. It features an all-new layup & design to reduce weight by a whopping 187g over its predecessor. A typical 54cm frame weighs just 893g.
It features a stronger and lighter all-carbon-fiber UDH chainstay module opening up compatibility with the drivetrains of today and tomorrow.
At the front, the GT meets the air with a fully integrated fork, designed and built in-house at Parlee. The fork creates a clean, cable-free exterior, compatible with one-piece bar and stems and clearance for up to 40mm tires. It's the secret behind the ultra-slender headtube designed to slice through the air like a knife.
The new fork is a product of deep research, long hours and a lot of late nights. Because we made it solely for the GT, both frame and fork work together in rare harmony, with better-optimized ride quality, improved aerodynamics and noticeably increased speed. Perfectly unified in design.
Perfecting the Ride
The Parlee Z-Zero GT is engineered from the ground up to maximize handling and improve rider comfort and efficiency. We dropped the center of gravity by lowering the bottom bracket by 10mm compared to typical road bikes. This small, subtle change noticeably improves stability, particularly in high-speed descents. An all-new, stiffer chainstay module transfers maximum torque through the pedals to the road.
Tire technology has leapt forward over the last 5 years. The GT’s carbon layup and geometry is engineered to maximize the benefits of up to 40mm wide tires and ensure optimal performance, no matter the surface. Between broken asphalt, a farm road or the occasional trail, your GT will meet the terrain with signature confidence.
A Bike for One, Not All
The Z-Zero GT rides with a geometry informed by over 25 years of fits and continual refinement. Each of the twelve standard sizes of GT (in Race or Sport geometry) uses a unique reference frame geometry and ships with your own personal combination of crank lengths, stem length, bar width, seatpost setback and saddle width to ensure the bike meets your every measurement.
Our reference sizes are only the start of the road for those looking to go further. Choosing a fully bespoke Z-Zero GT unlocks customized geometry and frame composition to reflect your unique riding profile. It's a hyper-precise process that goes to great lengths and macro fidelity to ensure your Z-Zero feels more your bike than anything you've ever ridden.
Whether using a reference geometry or designing a fully bespoke build, your Parlee is a blank canvas to create something amazing. The Parlee paint program exists to bring your dreams to life, in any color, hue, or custom design you can imagine. Fully imagined and hand-worked in-house, our paint shop creates with exceptional depth and vibrancy, delivering stunning paint schemes and rideable art that you'll treasure forever.
