Our fifth generation frameset -- the Z5 -- is one of the lightest frames ever built, yet still possesses the famous acceleration, lively road feel, and comfort that is the hallmark of all PARLEE designs. The Z5 combines the best qualities of the custom Z1 and stock Z4 by using the latest mold techniques perfected in the TT. Without sacrificing performance, comfort or durability, we are able to mold the whole main frame section in a single contiguous piece. The success of our Z4 proved we could create a stock frame that could match the performance of our pioneering Z1/2/3. The evolution of this process has again yielded one of the lightest, most responsive frames available. The Z5 is a unique design with industry-first features such as carbon fiber cable stops, co-molded dropouts, our ground breaking Flex-Fit geometry which affords 12 stock sizes (most competitors' stock lines come in 3-5) and a solidity rarely found in bikes up to 5 pounds heavier. In a Z5 you can have one of the lightest bikes ever built with the legendary PARLEE combination of comfort and performance.
