Parlee Cycles

At Crafted Cycles, we align with brands that view the bicycle as more than a machine—it’s an extension of the rider, crafted with care, precision, and purpose. Parlee Cycles, founded in Massachusetts, USA, embodies that belief to its core. Since 2000, Parlee has led the way in custom carbon fibre bike design, building frames not for mass production but for individual performance, tuned to the rider and terrain. Where others chase trends, Parlee remains obsessed with timeless ride quality, clean lines, and fit-first design.

Their reputation for innovation is matched by a commitment to hand-built craftsmanship. Every Parlee frame reflects a belief that carbon isn’t just about speed—it’s about feel. And no one makes carbon feel quite like Parlee.

Beyond Carbon – A Human Touch in Every Filament

Unlike many manufacturers, Parlee treats carbon fibre with the same reverence a framebuilder would give to steel or titanium. Their approach is deeply artisanal—every frame is built in-house using carefully selected carbon layups and tube shapes, often fine-tuned to suit a rider’s individual needs.

One of Parlee’s great innovations was the introduction of carbon frames with ride feel and handling previously only associated with traditional materials. They use proprietary molding processes, minimalist junctions, and design philosophies focused on fit, comfort, and stability at speed.

Parlee also embraces fully custom geometry for riders who need a truly bespoke fit—ideal for those with particular biomechanical needs or simply seeking perfection in their position on the bike.

Every Parlee bike is clean, modern, and performance-minded, but without the harsh edge that often defines carbon. They’re bikes to race on, yes—but also to live with, and love riding, every single day.
