Parlee Lightens Up With New Altum 750g Frame Revamps Esx R Aero Bike Road Cc

For a disc bike the Altum is admirably light and seated it climbed well.

Parlee altum disc review pictures. Great pics of the Altum Disc LE from our friends at Victory Bicycle Studio in Memphis TN. Pictures of the Parlee Altum Disc review. Parlee made a name for itself building bespoke carbon fibre frames in the US when few other brands had even heard of the black stuff.

Light and stiff is easy. The only Specialized I have ever owned was a HardRock back in 2006 so I cant compare the Roubaix. The Altum Disc has the same geometry as the Altum but Parlee has chosen to go with a 15mm front thru-axle design for this model.

Jan 8 21 543. The frame features the same engineering design and geometry as the other two Altum LE models but with a modular rear dropout that accepts QR135 or thru-axle 142mm wheels. I would have to guess that the new Domane is the most comfortable frame.

That was with an ENVE fork which arent known for Comfort. The new Altum DISC LE is engineered specifically for disc brake use with some key frame and fork designs that allow for seamless integration. The Parlee Altum R Ultegra is already under 16 lbs but the frame is light enough that you could go with lighter parts and wheels and quickly find yourself with a sub 15 pound bicycle and it wouldnt take anything too fancy to get it brush up against 14 lbs even.

I used to have an Z5SL and I was stunned by the quality of its ride with 23mm tires. It is my first disc roadie replacing a much loved 2011 Argon. All of them get a new Parlee fork and the top model gets their new Parlee carbon seatpost.

Parlee The Altum Disc fork uses the 15mm thru-axle standard. Before the ride As mentioned above the Altum is made in Asia according to Parlee. If you pulled the Parlee.

The turn-in and mid-corner control on this bike is an absolute joy. CycleEXIFs Technical Editor Rich Gearing has ridden a lot of bikes in his time and has spent some quality time on both our Altum and Altum Disc. I would have to assume the Altum.

The Altum Disc is ideal ride for a former racer looking for stiffness light weight and peppiness mated with more relaxed steering. In fact the Altum Disc direct descendent of our benchmark custom Z series bicycles. The Altum Disc is available as a frameset for 4299 or in a number of build options.

Parlee All the Altum models will be able to handle a 28mm tire with ease and the disc version has even more clearance. Coming back up the hill though was a little different. Those bikes still exist today as the cream of Parlees crop but in recent years it has branched into stock models subcontracted to the Far East to meet the.

Post 2 of 18 447 views I have the Altum Disc and really like it a lot. The Altum R gets a slightly heavier lower level carbon and replaces the Z5i. The bike is fun to ride and pretty comfortable.

But the heart and soul of this bike is centered on how it rides. At the rear interchangeable plates mean. It is an element that Parlee have got well and truly dialed through the geometry tube and frame shaping and the carbon layup.

Parlee Altum Disc review pictures Read More. Parlee is a boutique brand a bike you dont see too often and price tags reflect that reality. For this review Parlee supplied an Altum frameset with carbon seatpost stem and handlebars.

Massively evident in the Altum-R is Bob Parlees ability to finesse carbon fiber to target specific issues and to create an incredibly balanced ride. Weight-wise the Altum Disc is a great basis for a lightweight road disc. Ask any Parlee owner.

And this is a yardstick that for me all future bikes will be compared to. Yes the Altum Disc is sleeker lighter climbs better and features all the technology one expects from a modern road bike. This bike is very black.

His in-depth review and as expected gorgeous pictures can be found HERE. The Altum Disc gets the same geometry as the rim brake models but is disc specific with convertible rear dropouts. It could not be any more black except maybe if it was sprayed with Vantablack in some smartphone photos I could not even see the bike.

That means one thingride quality comes first. Going to Dura Ace would save almost one pound on its own. Our test bike isnt quite entirely stock considering the Lightweight Meilenstein Disc wheels it came with arent in the Parlee catalog so we were sure to throw on other wheels more in line with the DT Spline R23 wheels that come on the stock Dura-Ace Di2 build once we finally had to part with the German-made dream.
