Parlee Taos

Wheel Size: 700c | Tire Clearance: Up to 50mm

The Parlee Taos is built not just to survive modern gravel riding conditions but to push the pace through them. Purpose-built from the ground up, the Taos delivers a confident, high-speed ride that thrives everywhere.

Its longer wheelbase and slacker head tube angle provide stability at speed, while carefully tuned carbon layups maintain efficient power transfer without sacrificing vibration damping over long, punishing days in the saddle. With clearance for tires up to 50mm, the Taos is built to handle everything from fast gravel racing and endless backroads to light singletrack and fully-loaded adventure rides. Internal storage options, mounting points, and modern drivetrain compatibility expand its versatility, making it equally capable as a race-focused gravel machine or a multi-day exploration platform.

Whether you're lining up for ultra-distance events, chasing speed on mixed terrain, or simply going farther off the beaten path, the Taos delivers the stability, efficiency, and control needed to keep on charging.

If you're after Parlee's elite, industry-leading design and performance but want to stick to smoother roads, the Parlee Ouray might be the ride for you.
