Parlee Taos T1

The Taos T1 is built as a versatile, high-performance mountain bike. Its geometry and carbon layup are optimized for cross-country riding and fast, technical trail work where efficiency and power transfer are just as important as handling.

The flip-chip allows you to fine-tune the bike's geometry to match your riding style or the specific trail conditions. By adjusting it, you can slightly alter the head tube angle and bottom bracket height, giving you more stability on steep descents or sharper handling on tight, twisty singletrack.

Yes, the frame is designed with generous clearance, accommodating tires up to 700x50mm. This allows you to run higher-volume rubber for better traction and comfort on rougher terrain without sacrificing the bike's speed.

Parlee chose the T47 standard because it combines the stiffness and oversized benefits of a press-fit system with the reliability and ease of maintenance found in traditional threaded bottom brackets. It is designed to be creak-free and durable over the long haul.

The internal downtube storage provides a secure, integrated space to carry essential tools, a tube, or a CO2 inflator directly inside the frame. It keeps weight centered and low on the bike while allowing you to ride without a bulky saddlebag or jersey pockets full of gear.

Absolutely. The Taos T1 utilizes the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard, which is widely compatible with current and future drivetrain components. This makes it much easier to find replacement parts or upgrade your derailleur down the road.
