Parlee Taos: The Ultimate Limitless Gravel Architecture

Discover the Parlee Taos, an uncompromising masterclass in gravel and all-road engineering. Designed for cyclists who refuse to be defined by the surface they ride on, the Taos erases the boundaries between fresh tarmac, open gravel roads, and challenging forest singletrack. It is not just a gravel bike; it is a highly adaptable, all-terrain machine built for long-haul versatility, spirited adventure, and absolute confidence wherever your pedals take you.

At Novamotion Cycles, we are incredibly proud to be the sole official distributors of Parlee Cycles in Spain and Europe. We understand that a premium adventure bicycle is an investment in your freedom. That is why we don’t just sell bikes—we curate and custom-build them. Our expert mechanics painstakingly fine-tune every Parlee Taos to ensure your machine performs flawlessly in the harshest environments, from the very first dusty pedal stroke to your thousandth kilometer off the grid.

The Parlee Legacy: Aerospace Precision & Lifetime Warranty

When you venture off the beaten path, equipment reliability isn’t just a luxury; it is a necessity. Choosing a Parlee means investing in a legacy of uncompromising quality. Every Taos frame is constructed from custom-made aerospace-grade carbon fiber, ensuring an incredibly robust structure with an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio that mass-produced brands simply cannot replicate. Because Parlee stands behind the absolute perfection and durability of their manufacturing process, every frame comes with a Lifetime Warranty, giving you absolute peace of mind as you tackle the roughest terrain.

Engineered for Adventure: Progressive Geometry & Adaptability

The soul of the Taos lies in its progressive, modern geometry and its astonishing adaptability. It is a platform that strikes a sublime balance between gravity-defying stability and razor-sharp agility.

• Modern Progressive Geometry: The Taos features a long-reach, low bottom bracket, and a slack head-tube angle (~ 68.75–69.75°). This specific architecture makes the ride feel incredibly steady at high speeds and inspires absolute confidence when pointing downhill on loose terrain. Conversely, the concise 430mm chainstays keep the rear end snappy, ensuring the bike remains highly responsive through tighter corners and steep, punchy climbs.
• Supreme Adaptability & Clearance: The Taos is designed around a suspension-corrected geometry, featuring an adjustable fork rake via a custom flip-chip. Whether you run it as a rigid speed-machine or a forked terrain-crusher, the handling remains optimized. Massive clearance for up to 50mm tires means you can easily adapt the bike’s footprint to match the day’s specific mission—from fast-rolling hardpack to the muddiest trails.
• Vibration-Damping Layup: Just like its road siblings, the Taos utilizes Parlee’s proprietary carbon layup to filter out high-frequency chatter from washboard gravel roads, keeping your upper body fresh and your power transfer highly efficient hour after hour.

Choose Your Ultimate Configuration

Every Parlee Taos shares the same world-class, limitless carbon chassis, but the bike’s exact personality is defined by its build. We offer the Taos in five meticulously curated tiers, covering everything from silky-smooth electronic 2x drivetrains to aggressive, suspension-equipped 1x racing setups. All builds feature premium Goodyear XPLR Inter tires and elite wheelsets. Choose the setup that matches your wildest ambitions:

T1 – The Red XPLR Ultimate Race Rig

This Taos Tier One build leaves absolutely nothing to chance; it is the pinnacle of gravel performance. The flagship SRAM Red XPLR AXS drivetrain delivers crisp, flawless wireless precision under extreme load, featuring an integrated powermeter for real-time data tracking. The 42T chainring and 10–46T cassette provide the perfect gear range across varied topography. It rolls on the ultra-premium ZIPP 303 XPLR SW wheels, delivering a smooth, fast ride while staying remarkably light and race-ready.

T2 – Shimano GRX Di2 Smoothness & Range

For riders who crave a silky, intuitive feel and prefer tighter jumps between gears, this build leans into the incredible composure of Shimano’s GRX-825 Di2 electronic groupset. The 2x setup (48/31T chainrings paired with an 11–36T cassette) gives you a massive gear window to play with, ensuring your cadence always feels exactly right, whether you are spinning up a 15% gravel wall or pacelining on the road. Paired with ZIPP 303 XPLR S wheels and 45mm tires, the ride feels planted, plush, and endlessly versatile.

T3 – FST Edition: The Suspension Beast

Parlee’s elite F(a)ST brand represents the gnarliest, fastest, and most extreme builds available, easily recognizable by their unique F(a)ST badging. This configuration is for the rider who wants to push further into mountain bike territory. Featuring a 40mm travel RockShox fork, you can maintain blazing speed and relentless grip over the roughest root-filled terrain. When you hit the tarmac, simply lock it out for rigid pedaling efficiency. Driven by the new SRAM Force XPLR AXS (40T, 10–46T) and rolling on the pinnacle ZIPP 303 XPLR SW wheels, this is an unstoppable off-road weapon.

T3 – Force XPLR Rigid Speed

Built for riders who want real-world speed with the unmistakably pure Parlee rigid ride feel. This configuration delivers a perfect blend of snap, smoothness, and all-day capability. At the heart of the build is SRAM’s highly refined Force XPLR AXS electronic groupset (40T, 10–46T). It feels eager and explosive on the flats, calm on the steeps, and surprisingly seamless everywhere in between. ZIPP’s 303 XPLR S wheels wrapped in 45mm tires feel supple and connected, offering grip when the surface turns sketchy and extreme aerodynamic efficiency when the road smooths out.

T4 – Rival XPLR Accessible Adventure

For riders who want a Taos that is reliable, lively, and surprisingly playful, this build brings a premium kit together for a ride that is ready for absolutely everything. The SRAM Rival XPLR AXS electronic groupset democratizes high-end wireless shifting, delivering crisp, intuitive gear changes through a 40T chainring and 10–46T cassette. Equipped with ZIPP 303 XPLR S wheels, the bike is quick to accelerate, remarkably stable in crosswinds, and eager to tackle rough pavement or spontaneous gravel detours with absolute confidence.

The Novamotion Cycles Promise: Precision for the Wild

A premium adventure bicycle demands meticulous mechanical preparation before it ever sees the dirt. As the exclusive European gateway for Parlee Cycles, our advanced workshop in Mallorca ensures your Taos is optimized to withstand the rigors of the wild.

Before delivery, every Taos undergoes our exhaustive Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI):

• Advanced Tubeless Optimization: Gravel riding demands perfect tire setups. We meticulously tape, seat, and seal your ZIPP wheels with premium sealant, dialing in the specific tire pressures needed to maximize traction and puncture resistance for your riding weight.
• Electronic Diagnostics & Firmware: We sync and update all firmware for your Di2 or AXS systems, customize shifting logic for rough terrain, and lock in derailleur alignment to prevent chain drops on bumpy descents.
• Safety & Torque Protocol: Every single bolt is checked with calibrated digital torque wrenches. We bleed hydraulic brake lines to ensure maximum stopping power and modulation, vital for safely navigating steep canyon switchbacks.

When you purchase a Parlee Taos from Novamotion Cycles, you aren’t just buying a bike; you are securing an exclusive, high-performance passport to explore without limits, backed by Europe’s leading precision workshop.
