Parlee launches new Z-Zero GT and $30k anniversary build
Parlee Cycles has introduced an all-new Z-Zero GT road bike to its top-tier Z-Series. Handbuilt in Massachusetts, US, the Z-Zero GT claims to be lighter (187 grams, to be precise), stiffer, and faster than any Parlee bike before. It features first ever Parlee-made fork, has clearance for 40mm tyres, UDH rear dropout, T47 bottom bracket, and an integrated cockpit.
Prices start at US$12,490 for the frameset and US$16,490 for complete builds.
Alongside the basic model, Parlee is also releasing a limited 25th Anniversary Edition of the Z-Zero GT, built to honour founder Bob Parlee, who passed away in 2024. There will be just 25 of these available, each featuring Campagnolo Super Record Wireless 13-speed drivetrain, custom paint with gold leaf inlays, and hand-picked premium components. Each will retail for $29,990, but for that, you do get the bike plus custom Lake shoes, a matching Silca floor pump, and a set of signed Silca tools in a wooden box. [parleecycles.com]
