Parlee Z4: First Look

For those readers who've been around on RCUK for a while, you'll no doubt remember our huge Carbon Bike Test of last summer. Of all the bikes tested, the Parlee Z3 walked away with the honours.

But, make no mistake, it's an expensive bike. However, the release of the brand new Z4 aims to make Parlee ownership a little less daunting. By offering stock sizes (five in total) Parlee have not only managed to make it more affordable, but have done so without much sacrifice in weight. Indeed, the Z4 tips the scales at a reported 900g. And yes, it's still built by hand. Don't expect much change from £2100 for the frame, fork and headset though...

A friend of mine had one for a while, a Z3 for the record. It was the best bike he had owned, and believe me name a name my friend has probably had one.

Simplicity is a beautiful thing.
