Parlee Ouray
Real Speed for Real Roads
The Parlee Ouray is Parlee's vision of the contemporary performance road bike — lightweight, responsive and fast when the pace rises, yet composed and comfortable enough for long days and imperfect roads.
Designed for riders who don't believe speed and comfort should be mutually exclusive, the Ouray combines race-bike responsiveness with all-day sustainability. Its refined handling, lightweight carbon construction and generous tyre clearance create a bike equally at home attacking a climb, driving a fast bunch, descending technical roads or taking the long way home.
This isn't an endurance bike pretending to be fast.
It's a genuinely fast road bike designed for the roads we actually ride.
Race-Bike Speed. All-Day Sustainability.
The Ouray builds on the legacy of celebrated Parlee road bikes including the Z5 and Altum, taking the qualities that established Parlee's reputation for exceptional ride quality and adapting them for a new generation of road riding.
A sloping top tube and dropped seat stays introduce carefully tuned compliance, helping isolate the rider from road chatter without dulling the connection between bike and road.
At the same time, the compact frame design delivers the lateral and torsional stiffness required for immediate power transfer when climbing, accelerating or pushing hard out of a corner.
The result is a bike that feels lively when you ask for more, but never unnecessarily harsh when the kilometres accumulate.
Unmistakably Unshakable
Speed isn't only about aerodynamics, stiffness or weight.
It's also about confidence.
The Ouray has been engineered around stable, predictable handling that allows the rider to maintain speed when the road becomes less predictable. Its stable wheelbase helps the bike remain planted through fast corners and technical descents while still retaining the responsive character expected from a Parlee.
Broken pavement, rough backroads and endless roadworks don't require you to back off.
The Ouray remains calm underneath you, allowing you to focus on the road ahead.
Up to 40mm Tyre Clearance
Modern road riding has changed, and the Ouray has been designed accordingly.
With tyre clearance up to 40mm, riders can choose their tyre setup around the roads and conditions they actually encounter. Wider tyres can provide additional grip, comfort and confidence across broken pavement, winter roads and occasional unsealed sections without changing the fundamental character of the bike.
Run fast road tyres for bunch rides and climbing.
Go wider for rough roads and long-distance adventures.
The Ouray gives you the freedom to decide.
Modern Standards. Future Ready.
Underneath its beautifully clean exterior, the Ouray incorporates the standards expected from a contemporary premium road bike.
Key technical features include:
-
One-piece UD carbon monocoque frame and fork
-
Full internal cable routing
-
Electronic drivetrain compatibility
-
T47 threaded bottom bracket
-
SRAM UDH-compatible rear dropout
-
142mm rear / 100mm front thru-axles
-

-
Integrated IS52 headset
-
31.6mm round seatpost
-
Up to 40mm tyre clearance
-
Parlee Flex-Fit system
-
Five frame sizes from XS to XL
The use of open standards such as T47 and UDH also makes the Ouray easier to service, upgrade and keep relevant as component technology evolves.
A Legacy of Fit
Parlee has always understood that a bicycle only performs properly when it fits its rider.
The Ouray continues that philosophy with five size-specific geometries from XS through XL, complemented by Parlee's Flex-Fit system and individually selected fit components.
Rather than simply choosing a frame size and accepting everything that comes with it, the Ouray can be configured around the rider's dimensions, position and riding style.
Stem length, handlebar width, cockpit configuration, seatpost setback and other fit elements can all contribute to creating a bike that feels right from the first ride.
Because performance begins with fit.
Make It Yours
Parlee PaintLab
A premium bicycle should feel personal.
Every Ouray can be personalised through Parlee PaintLab, giving riders extensive freedom to choose colours, graphics and finishes.
Keep things understated with the distinctive Nude Carbon finish, select a different graphics treatment, choose one of Parlee's modular paint schemes or commission something completely individual.
Combined with personalised fit and component selection, PaintLab allows your Ouray to become exactly that: Your Ouray.
Who Is the Parlee Ouray For?
The Ouray is for the rider who wants one exceptional road bike without being confined to one definition of road riding.
It's equally suited to:
-
Fast bunch rides
-
Long road climbs
-
Technical descents
-
Gran fondos
-
Long-distance road riding
-
Rough and broken pavement
-
Occasional hard-packed gravel and unsealed roads
-
Riders wanting race-bike performance without an extreme race-bike position
If your riding increasingly leaves the pavement behind, consider the Parlee Taos.
But if you want one Parlee capable of handling almost everything a modern road ride can throw at you, the Ouray sits right in the sweet spot.
