Ouray 06 Sram Rival Build
Description
The Parlee Ouray
A ride isn’t just a ride anymore, it’s an opportunity to explore and a chance to venture further or faster.
The Parlee Ouray is the perfect platform for exploring new roads and seeking new adventures… or just crushing climbs and capturing QOMs/KOMs
Inspired by Epic Rides
The town of Ouray is located deep in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, where all roads deliver epic experiences. This new bike is purpose built for conquering its curvy roads, epic climbs, and ripping descents. Prefer the abundant dusty backroads cutting through the rugged landscape? No problem, the Ouray is the perfect all-road bike for turning this, or any road, into your own personal drop bar playground.
A clean-sheet design
The Ouray (pronounced “yur-ay”) is a fully modern design with a monocoque frame. It blends 25 years of masterful custom carbon fiber expertise and the brands’ legendary ride quality with a fresh new design and all-new construction. Handmade in the EU, our new precision layup process creates a perfect frame, both functionally and aesthetically.
Single-piece monocoque frame
Each unidirectional carbon fiber ply is meticulously placed to create a frame that requires no cosmetic layers, filler, bonding agents, or paint. It looks so good, it’s our first production bike to be offered in a stunning nude finish! This level of finish quality is extremely hard to do - it’s why almost no one else does it. We’re proud to show our work.
Light, but Not a Lightweight
Our unique construction method delivers a true monocoque one-piece frame that’s incredibly lightweight, yet durable enough for real-world adventures. This layup process gives us complete control over the ride quality. In fact, the Ouray is the most comfortable bike we’ve ever made. But, the sloping top tube and dropped stays do more than add tuned compliance for all day comfort. The compact design delivers improved lateral and torsional stiffness for immediate power transfer.
Ready for Tomorrow
Clearance for wider 700x38 tires provide confidence on less than perfect asphalt or even packed Gravel. The updated geometry delivers stable, predictable handling. Modern touches like full internal routing with integrated cockpits, electronic-only shifting, and minimalist front brake mounts combine with proven open standards like a T47 threaded bottom bracket and UDH derailleur hanger for easy (and future-proof) component compatibility.
