Product Details

The Parlee Taos redefines what is possible on gravel, combining precision carbon construction, progressive geometry, and unmatched versatility to take on any terrain. This purpose-built machine is designed to enhance ride quality, delivering supreme confidence, compliance, and traction on every adventure.

At the core of the Taos is its monocoque carbon frame, crafted with over 25 years of expertise to create an ultra-light (~980g), durable, and high-performance platform. The precision layup process ensures a flawless finish straight out of the mold, with a sleek, nude waxed option that eliminates the need for paint or cosmetic fillers.

The Taos is engineered for speed, control, and adaptability. With clearance for up to 700x50mm tires and a suspension-ready design, this bike transitions seamlessly from smooth tarmac to rugged singletrack. A front axle flip-chip allows riders to fine-tune handling based on tire size, while the modern geometry—longer, lower, and slacker—enhances stability and control.

Built for both racing and exploration, the Taos can be configured with either a 1x or 2x drivetrain, featuring a removable front derailleur mount. Additional adventure-ready features include fender mounts, internal downtube storage, top tube bag mounts, and stealth dropper post routing. The combination of an integrated cockpit and internal cable routing ensures a clean, aerodynamic profile.

Designed for endurance and all-day comfort, the Taos incorporates a traction-enhancing layup and dropped seatstays to optimize compliance without sacrificing power transfer. The reinforced carbon structure, along with protective rubberized layers on high-impact areas, enhances durability for real-world riding.

Each Taos is made in small batches, individually built to order, and available in six frame sizes with standard or tall configurations. Riders can fully customize their cockpit, drivetrain, wheels, and accessories to match their riding style. Parlee’s renowned #PaintLab also offers endless custom paint options to create a truly unique machine.
