Parlee Z-Zero GT Road Bike
A sublime Grand Tourer for your next European Escape
Parlee Z-Zero GT Road Bike
The new Parlee Z-Zero GT is a reaffirmation of the value of building bikes for one, not all. It’s a bike that demands a patina of wear, a mark of all the miles, hard-won hilltops and get-me-home hustles that quicken the pulse when the next ride feels too far off. To the Parlee community, it represents 25 years of carbon fiber innovation and a clear line that connects the curiosity and consummate skill of its founder, Bob Parlee, with the future of Fast Road and the capability to traverse the most impolite of parcours.

More about the Parlee Z-Zero GT
The bike that made Parlee’s name isn't a single frame. It's a signature series that, if you were of an automotive mind, you might call the Z-Type - a watchword for craft, quality and meticulous, obsessive design. Parlee’s flagship, see-you-at-the-top (if you can keep up) road silhouette built by hand, by artisans, in Beverly, Massachusetts. Over the years, Parlee has reimagined the road with each iteration and edition of the Parlee Z. To the industry at large, the series represented a new direction and a clean pair of heels, reaffirming the brand’s right to make with two hands and the dreams of a small team dedicated to creating high-performance bicycles that ride to a different rhythm.
THE FINER DETAILS
Artistry Ahead
Artistry informs everything Parlee does. From the impeccable surfaces you see to the ones you don't to the carbon-wrapped titanium T47 inserts, the GT takes the pursuit of detail to extremes. Each line, curve and seamless connection is a testament to the care, passion and relentless forward motion of Parlee’s incredible team.
Leading from the front
The Z-Series has always led with cutting-edge technology. The GT moves the dial further, faster. It features a stronger and lighter all-carbon-fiber UDH chainstay module. At the front, the GT meets the air with a new Z-Series fork that creates a clean, cable-free exterior, compatible with one-piece bar and stems and clearance for up to 40mm tires while maintaining the bike's much-admired classical proportions.
A Reference for the Road
The Z-Zero GT rides with a reference geometry informed by thousands of fits, and a well-optimized position that takes the view that speed and control come through exceptional comfort. Each reference geometry GT includes a unique combination of crank lengths, stem length, bar width, seatpost setback and saddle width to ensure the bike meets your every measurement. For those looking to go further, a Z-Zero GT custom build unlocks a customized geometry and frame composition designed to reflect your unique riding profile.
