Parlee Cycles Taos T2

The Taos T2 utilizes a unique one-piece monocoque carbon construction specifically engineered for vibration damping. This design prioritizes ride quality and traction on unpredictable surfaces, effectively reducing road chatter before it reaches the rider.

The modular architecture is designed to offer precise fit adjustments without unnecessary complexity. While it allows for a highly tailored riding position, we recommend having a professional bike fitter perform the initial setup to ensure you get the most out of the bike's geometry.

The 10-46T cassette paired with the SRAM RED XPLR drivetrain provides a wide gear range that is excellent for steep, loose climbs. It offers enough low-end torque to keep you spinning comfortably on tough ascents while still maintaining high-speed capability on flatter sections.

The integrated hidden cabling creates a clean aesthetic and protects the cables from debris, which is a significant advantage for gravel riding. While it does require a bit more patience during routine maintenance or component swaps, the trade-off is a sleeker, more durable setup.

Yes, the Zipp 303 XPLR SW wheels are purpose-built for gravel and are exceptionally capable on rough surfaces. They are designed to balance durability and weight, providing the stability needed for technical dirt roads and unpredictable terrain.
