Overview
OVERVIEW

The best just got better.

Parlee's Z-Series has set the standard for craft, quality and iterative design for over 25 years.

Our flagship, award-winning road platform is hand-built by artisans in a small shop 45 minutes north of Boston (USA).

It doesn’t get any better than a Parlee Z-Series.

Overview

↓ More Than a Bike

A Parlee bike is more than a bike, it's engineered perfection. 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.

↓ Light Made Lighter

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.

BETTER, FASTER, SMOOTHER

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’s handmade frame represents the epitome of carbon fiber expertise and delivers the world's smoothest ride.

FUTURE-PROOF

Leading From the Front 

GT features an all-new layup and design to reduce weight by a whopping 187g over its predecessor. It features a stronger and lighter all-carbon-fiber UDH chainstay module, opening up compatibility with the drivetrains of today and tomorrow.

GT features 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. 

Both frame and fork work together in harmony, with better-optimized ride quality, improved aerodynamics and noticeably increased speed.

COMFORT POWERS PERFORMANCE

Perfecting the Ride

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. An all-new, stiffer chainstay module transfers maximum torque through the pedals to the road.

From asphalt, to a farm road or the occasional gravel, your GT will meet the terrain with signature confidence.

CUSTOM-MADE SPEED

A Bike for One, Not All

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. 

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 ensures your GT feels like a part of you.

The Parlee Paint Lab exists to bring your dreams to life, in any color, hue, or custom design you can imagine.
