Our Tour de Suisse frame is based on Parlee’s Z2 (level) and Z3c (sloping) frames: the same great construction, materials, and processes as the Z1-Pro, but using a different series of molds and a less labor-intensive wishbone seatstay. The result: awesome ride, incredible build quality, but at a much lower price.

Available in five stock sizes with your choice of level or sloping top tube; each frame may be additionally custom-fit by extending the head tube 1-2cm at no extra charge. The Tour de Suisse perfectly illustrates our Race geometry: a great balance of quick steering combined with superb descending characteristics.

Each lug on all of our carbon frames is laid-up by hand rather than being pre-formed; this allows for stronger and lighter joints providing the most direct carbon-to-carbon bond possible. The joints are then cured with a combination of high pressure and high temperature, which virtually eliminates voids and the chance of delamination and/or resin pockets. This method allows us to avoid the large glue-lines that can result in the “dead” or “vague” feel of many other carbon fiber frames.
