Parlee Altum Road Frameset 2017
Weighing just 725g (size XS) and constructed from Parlee’s highest modulus carbon fibre, the Parlee Altum Road Frameset 2017 is the perfect addition to your riding arsenal if you want a fast, reliable and performance oriented road bike.
Parlee don’t just use standard carbon fibre layups to produce such a sublime bike, though. Using their own, complex FEA (Finite Element Analysis) modelling and physical testing, Parlee have been able to create an entirely new carbon layup process that places the high modulus carbon fibre in strategic areas to maximise weight reduction without negatively impacting strength or stiffness.
A more pronounced tube shaping and top tube - head tube junction increases the strength of the areas, ensuring everything is stiff, strong and lighter than the Altum 2017’s predecessor. Combine this with the 280g Parlee Road carbon fork, and you get increased steering stiffness and pedalling efficiency.
Parlee boast that their bikes aren’t just about stiffness and weight, but about how the bike rides, and thanks to greater compliance in the rear triangle, you get a much smoother ride than many other frames of this price point. All Altum models use a traditionally round 31.6mm with a hidden, integrated binder. This cuts down the weight of the seatpost to just 185g.
Other new features include increased tire clearance, from 23c to 28c, and a new fork design with an integrated carbon crown that helps increase stiffness. The internal cable routing is compatible with all major component groups, electronic or mechanical, and has been designed to make installation and service as simple as possible.
