designed by Bob Parlee and individually hand built by a talented team of craftsmen inspired by the PARLEE mission to build the world’s finest carbon fiber bikes

Bob Parlee demands the maximum level of performance from each part that goes into his bike.

QUALITY Each design element is engineered with a master craftsman’s attention to detail and an artist’s eye for design to produce the finest quality bike frame. Integrating science and art, Bob has taken advantage of the directional strength of carbon fiber to create a high performance, durable carbon frame.

PERFORMANCE The guiding design parameter at Parlee is performance. Bob believed from day one that carbon was the best material for racing frames and has continued to refine his designs with performance as the number one goal. Every element of a PARLEE frame is optimized to give the rider the maximum amount of efficiency in power transfer along with the maximum amount of vibration dampening. Carbon has ideal shock dissipation properties that when properly employed can give a ride quality that is unmatched in titanium, aluminum, steel or any hybrid thereof. The key is properly aligning the fibers.

TRUE CUSTOM Our frames, molds and tooling were designed from the ground up to build true custom frames. No single company building with carbon fiber can match the range of customization in the PARLEE lineup. For 2007 we offer full custom in the Z1, Z2 and Z3 models. PARLEE Cycles is the trusted name in custom carbon fiber frames. Some say that it is impossible for a bike to be lightweight, responsive, stiff and comfortable at the same time. Any PARLEE rider will say their PARLEE achieves the perfect balance of efficiency, comfort, durability and style.

In achieving our goal to build the world’s finest carbon fiber frames there has been no room for compromise in materials, craftsmanship, fit, or customer service.

The reviews and feedback from customers, pro racers, magazines, and websites are unanimous in their high praise for PARLEE frames.

Simply put, PARLEE frames are the best built and best riding carbon fiber frames available today, at any price. They are functional works of art.
