“Gravel” has become more than just riding on dirt roads. More than a way to escape traffic and routine. It’s how we immerse ourselves in our environment, and the all-new Parlee Taos delivers an entirely new level of compliance that not only elevates its ride quality above anything else, it delivers Velcro-like traction to inspire supreme confidence on any terrain.

Our unique construction method delivers a true monocoque one-piece frame that’s incredibly lightweight (average frame weight ~980g), yet durable enough for real-world adventures.

This layup process gives us complete control over the ride quality, and a modular design gives you control over its handling. In fact, the Taos is the most adaptable bike we’ve ever made.

It’s also tough, with reinforced carbon layups in high-impact areas, and added rubberized protection over the chainstay and beneath the downtube. Opt for the waxed carbon finish and there’s no paint to scratch either…just wipe it down with a fresh coat of wax and your bike looks as good as new. 

Clearance for up to 700x50 tires let you run any rubber you want. Suspension-corrected geo lets you add a suspension fork without altering ride quality. And a front axle flip-chip lets you adjust the wheelbase and head angle when using smaller tires for a more road-biased ride quality.

Run it 1x or 2x with a removable front derailleur mount. Combine that with fender mounts, internal downtube storage, top tube bag mounts, and stealth dropper seatpost routing and you have a bike that’s ready for any adventure, whether you're racing the clock or chasing daylight.

Taos Geometry 

 

Tech Highlights

Monocoque Frame - a true one-piece, unidirectional carbon fiber frame & fork, handmade in the EU.

Nude Carbon - Precision layups allow us to offer an unpainted frame with perfect carbon fiber layers visible through a durable wax finish

Modern Geometry - Longer reach, lower bottom bracket height, and more relaxed head tube angles make the Taos stable at speed and capable on the roughest descents. And it’s suspension-ready, too.

Internal Downtube Storage - Large access door makes it easy to carry tools, a spare tube and/or nutrition securely inside the frame

Traction-Enhancing Design - Dropped seatstays and a unique layup delivers confidence-inspiring traction like no other bike.

Adjustable Fork - Flip-chip dropout lets you optimize the geometry based on tire size.

UDH - futureproof compatibility with all standard and direct-mount rear derailleurs.

T47 BB - proven threaded bottom bracket with modern crankset compatibility and improved bearing durability.

Open Standards - Concealed cables, disc brakes, and aero bar compatibility use modern standards for easy parts swaps and service.

Lower Standover - Designed to fit smaller riders better while still offering our signature “tall” frame configuration.

No-Cost Custom Builds - Every Parlee is built to fit you, with no extra charge for choosing your stem length, handlebar width, seat and seatpost setback and crank length.

Titanium Hardware - All Taos include a full complement of custom-made, lightweight, corrosion-resistant titanium fasteners.
