TIMELESS STYLE AND STUNNING PERFORMANCE

The model that started it all, the Z1 sets the standard at PARLEE for our commitment to build each customer a bike that delivers an exceptional experience whether you are on back roads, in a tight crit, a climb in the mountains, or a stage race. As a bike that excels on every type of terrain, it is the one bike you will want to keep forever. Fusing sublime style and graceful lines with modern materials and unmatched customization options, the Z1 is the pinnacle of bicycle building. No other frame takes as much time and skill to build. No other carbon frame looks this timeless or rides this beautifully.

Designed from the ground up for custom geometry, Z1s may be customized by 1mm and .1-degree increments to fulfill any custom design from 47cm to 65+ cm. Custom carbon fiber lug lay-up along with five tube set choices allows the Z1 to be perfectly optimized for each individual rider. We offer a fixed wheel option for track use or fixed wheel road riding, as well as updated geometry and additional stock and custom sizes, including an option for 650c wheels. Z1s can be built with semi-sloping geometry up to 3 degrees. Optional upgrades include the super light SL tube set, the extra stiff XL tube set, the X woven tube set and the compliant CL tubeset.

Each year, after riding thousands of miles on bikes from all over the world, the editors of Bicycling Magazine select one bike as the ultimate, cost-no-object road bike. The bike they choose is a bike that represents the very best — it’s the bike that you dream about owning. We’re proud that our Z1 has been named Bicycling Magazine Editor’s Choice for Dream Road Bike. The Z1 was the first all carbon fiber bike to be awarded this prestiguous award.
