Parlee Z-Zero on Lightweight Meilenstein

The Z-Zero is perhaps the ultimate dream bike, each frame individually handcrafted in the USA by Parlee's carbon fibre experts.

The addition of custom paint by Parlee's in-house paint shop takes it to the next level, with a mixture of subtle pearlescent and translucent finishes to reveal the unique detail of the seamlessly integrated carbon "lugs". The crisp red detailing is carried over into the components, without going to excess.

SRAM's latest RED eTap AXS 2x12 groupset provides the drivetrain, complete with integrated Quarq power meter, and gives fast, precise shifting with minimal gaps between gears.

The Lightweight Meilenstein 24D wheelset brings disc-brake compatibility to the world-class superlight carbon wheelset, and in this Schwarz edition is upgraded with low-friction, ultra-strong CeramicSpeed bearings (and understated logos). We've converted it to be compatible with SRAM's latest XDR freehub body - if you need the same doing then get in touch!
