IN DEPTH
Vive la vida Ouray
Ouray is Parlee’s vision of the contemporary road bike: quicker off the line, steadier at speed, and designed for real-world conditions. It encourages longer routes and bigger ambitions without fatigue or compromise. Where other road platforms emphasize comfort or speed individually, Ouray balances both, delivering a bike that feels fast, assured, and eager to take on every mile.
Its lightweight construction and refined handling make the Ouray equally at home on long solo rides, fighting for a Q/KOM, or weekend adventures.
Ouray gives you race-bike speed with all-day sustainability.
Light, but not a lightweight
Building on the legacy created by its predecessors, the Z5 and Altum, Ouray ushers in a new era in Parlee road bikes. The sloping top tube and dropped stays add tuned compliance for all day comfort, while delivering improved lateral and torsional stiffness to carry speed effortlessly. A stable wheelbase keeps it grounded, while the monocoque carbon frame construction absorbs road chatter without dulling feedback.
Aerodynamically clean lines and purposeful shaping reduce drag and help you maintain momentum on long, exposed climbs and descents alike. The result: a road bike that is unmistakably quicker, lighter, and more capable than those that came before it.
Unmistakably unshakable
Where Ouray truly shines is in its composure. Enter a corner and it grabs the asphalt with stability that keeps you calm, collected, and fast. Fly through broken pavement, never-ending construction zones, and woefully unmaintained backroads without pause. With tire clearance up to 40 mm, you can run wider rubber for comfort, grip, or wintery conditions without compromising speed.
Designed for the realities of everyday riding, Ouray delivers race-bike speed with no aches, pains, or white-knuckling. It lets you push the pace and stretch the miles while keeping comfort and confidence in perfect alignment.
In the Nude
Designed by Parlee's legendary engineering team and then crafted by hand in Portugal, every Ouray frame is built with a precision carbon layup that leaves no extra weight behind. Each ply is carefully positioned so the frame doesn’t need filler, cosmetic layers, or bonding agents. Which means there’s nothing to hide.
Requiring the highest level of carbon fiber mastery and rarely undertaken by other manufacturers, this approach ensures the frame emerges from the mold with a flawless finish. That’s why we offer it in raw carbon with a subtle wax coating, letting the craftsmanship speak for itself. It also means there’s no worrying about paint chips, scratches, or other cosmetic blemishes.
Styled for You
Every frame is made one at a time, in small batches, then individually built to order at our US headquarters. Choose your frame size, then we'll use your measurements to pick fit elements that are a perfect match for your size and riding style. Pick a stock build and paint option, or choose your own - it's your bike after all.
Ouray ships by default in the raw carbon waxed finish with Holographic decals. With Parlee PaintLab, the opportunities for customizations are (almost) endless. Check out different logo color options, standard paint schemes, or design your own custom paint - anything from mild to wild, we’ve got you covered.
