The Parlee Z-Series helped establish Parlee's reputation. Pick any Z bike from the past, and it will stand apart - a watchword for craft, quality and meticulous, obsessive design; the brand's flagship, award-winning road platform built by hand in Beverly, Massachusetts. And now, with the release of the Parlee Z-Zero GT, the story continues.

The Z-Zero ‘Grand Tourer’ is designed to cover considerable distances in deep comfort. Each line, curve and seamless connection is a testament to the care, passion and relentless forward motion of Parlee's incredible team. From the impeccable surfaces you see to the ones you don't, the GT takes the pursuit of perfection to extremes.

Further, Faster

The undeniable craftsmanship and innovation behind the Z-Zero GT yield immeasurable benefits on the road. The GT flows through the miles with assured control and telling comfort. It corners with pinpoint precision, connecting you to the terrain while absorbing the bumps to keep you focused on the next turn. Each press of the pedals propels you to ever greater effort and speeds, fueled by a handmade frame representing the pinnacle of carbon fibre expertise.

The Z-Series has always led with cutting-edge technology. Parlee was the first to make a sub-1000g frame and the first to embrace disc brakes and electronic shifting. As Parlee tells us, "The GT moves the dial further, faster. It features a stronger and lighter all-carbon-fibre UDH chainstay module. This innovation cuts 72g off the frame's weight versus past models while opening up compatibility with the drivetrains of today and tomorrow."

With the Z-Zero GT, Parlee has introduced its own in-house fork. This fully integrated fork creates a clean, cable-free exterior, is compatible with one-piece bars and stems, and offers clearance for up to 40mm tyres.

The Era of Wider Tyres

Parlee understands that larger tyres are no longer a luxury. For many road riders, wider tyres don't mean gravel but rather the capability to deal with challenging terrain, the occasional connecting farm road, and even the occasional trail. The GT's 40mm of maximum clearance works in conjunction with the bike's new fork and a progressive frame design that reflects the desirability of a lower centre of gravity and a bottom bracket engineered for stability and high-speed descents. With plenty of latitude to go wide should you need to do so, the Z-Zero hits the sweet spot with 32 and 35-mm rubber.

Choose your Geo

The Z-Zero GT is available with either Parlee's 'reference geometry' or a completely custom geometry, depending on your preferences. 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.
