Z2: TRADITIONAL LOOKS, MODERN RIDE

Originally designed to be a less expensive alternative to the Z1, our Z2 may be the best-kept secret in the PARLEE lineup. Built using the same tube sets and techniques as the Z1, the Z2 offers a wide range of sizes and options for those who prefer a level or gently sloping (up to two degrees) top tube. The Z2 is offered in five FLEX-FIT semi-custom sizes. Options for the Z2 include custom geometry, the super light SL tube set, the XL tube set, the compliant CL tubeset and the X woven finish tube sets. 100-300lb rider weight tuning option available.
