Gravel

We think by now, most of you get what Straggler is. It’s a madly versatile bike that can be used for most types of riding and riding surfaces. Better still is that you now have the option of 650b wheel size. 650b wheels were popular for a long time many years ago on ‘Constructeur’ style bicycles and we all know how real stuff was back in the day…650b wheels strike a nice balance between the benefits of both 26” and 700c sizes. The smaller wheel allows smaller riders to fit well on smaller frames, produces a stronger wheel, makes fitting big-ass tires easier and are more agile than their larger counterparts. Straggler has disc caliper mounts instead of rim brake studs. It’ll accept rotors up to 160mm. The rear dropouts are unique, too. They’re a partially closed horizontal design that accommodates singlespeed or geared drivetrains. They feature stop screws that thread in from the rear to further secure the wheel and to position the rear wheel for optimal shifting, plus a forward-mounted stop screw on the drive side to keep the wheel from slipping forward under the force of your gargantuan legs. The rear dropouts are spaced 135mm instead of 132.5mm like the Cross-Check simply because there are far more options for disc hubs in this spacing. Straggler 650b has braze-ons for fenders, racks and bottle cages. The geometry is slightly different, with angles and tube lengths very close but not identical to the Cross-Check, but like the Cross-Check it’s ready to take you just about anywhere. It’s a day tripper and a weekender. It’s a ‘rough road’ road bike. It’s a cyclocross bike with no pretense about racing. It’s a utilitarian townie. It’s a light-duty touring bike. It’s an all-weather commuter. And when you get tired of one set up, you can swap parts around and turn it into something else. We think that’s pretty neat.

So what is this Straggler anyway? The easy answer is to say that we added disc brakes to a Cross-Check and this is close to accurate. People have asked us to make a disc version of our highly versatile Cross-Check for a long time now and almost everything about the two are very similar. Straggler is slightly different, though. The most obvious difference of course is that the Straggler has disc caliper mounts instead of rim brake studs. It’ll accept rotors up to 160mm. The rear dropouts are unique, too. They’re a partially closed horizontal design that accommodates singlespeed or geared drivetrains. They feature stop screws that thread in from the rear to further secure the wheel and to position the rear wheel for optimal shifting, plus a forward-mounted stop screw on the drive side to keep the wheel from slipping forward under the force of your gargantuan legs. The rear dropouts are spaced 135mm instead of 132.5mm like the Cross-Check simply because there are far more options for disc hubs in this spacing. Straggler shares all of the Cross-Check’s braze-ons for fenders, racks and bottle cages. The Straggler’s geometry is slightly different, with angles and tube lengths very close but not identical to the Cross-Check, but like the Cross-Check it’s ready to take you just about anywhere.

The Pivot LES Fat is the world’s most versatile big-tire machine. It's compatible with almost every wheel size available, from 26-inch to 27.5-inch Fat to 29er. The perfect wheel and tire combination? That’s always open to debate. But one thing is beyond dispute: No matter which wheel size you choose, your bike should handle great. Pivot's proprietary Swinger II dropout system guarantees that’s always the case, no matter which wheel and tire combination you use. The ingenious dropouts maintain ideal geometry via an indexed adjustment arc designed into the dropouts—the bigger the wheel and the more clearance you choose, the lower the bottom bracket. The LES Fat full carbon frame features a svelte top tube and seatstay shaping for comfort on long rides and epic adventures. The full carbon frame features leading-edge materials and Pivot's proprietary hollow-core, internal-molding process. This coveted technology enables Pivot to create an ultra-lightweight frame featuring the largest downtube in the category and a 132mm Press Fit BB for best-in-class power transfer. Additional frame details include the Cable Port System for clean and easy cable routing, three water bottle mounts, and a narrow Q-Factor for better pedaling ergonomics. The LES Fat frameset includes a Pivot-designed carbon, rigid fork that easily accommodates any wheel size with clearance to spare. This full carbon fork features 150mm dropout spacing—the same spacing as fat bike suspension forks, so you can use the same wheels with rigid and suspension forks. Looking for a bike that's ready for anything? The LES Fat is a four-season hardtail that can take you from singletrack to snow to sand with no compromises.

FULL GAS EVERYWHERE If you want to win a Gravel race, this is the bike for you. This is the off-road DOGMA. The versatile GREVIL F is ready for anything. It can accommodate any wheel or tire combination, adapting to your every need, and giving you the freedom to push the limits and compete with yourself. Even off-road, aerodynamics count. Every watt saved brings you closer to victory, so the GREVIL F’s design puts a major focus on aerodynamics and rigidity. If you want to triumph on every terrain, this is the bike for you. INNOVATION: - AN AERO GRAVEL BIKE? Aerodynamics always counts. Gravel races often exceed 200km, with speeds reaching 70km/h, every watt saved brings us a little bit closer to victory. - FORK FLAP Fork Flap: Stabilizes the flow of air on the front end and greatly improves the aerodynamic penetration coefficient. - FORK FLAP Fork Flap: Stabilizes the flow of air on the front end and greatly improves the aerodynamic penetration coefficient. - TICR The complete integration of all cables offers aerodynamic improvement and allows for greater ease when loading bags. - GRAVEL GEOMETRY Differentiated geometry and rake ensure the same trail and the same control across all frame sizes. - Reach and stack: Compared to a traditional road bike, the GREVIL F has a shorter reach and higher stack to create an elongated position, offering better comfort and better handling - An increased seat tube angle allows for greater wheel clearance - Modified fork angle and Rake ensure better handling and riding comfort - Chain stays: Measuring between 422-425mm. This provides the best compromise between responsiveness and comfort. Compatible with 700c or 650b wheels. - TWIN ARMS Maximum energy transmission and vibration absorption The right chain stay is rotated downwards, as is the right seat stay, to have both rear triangles symmetrical with a uniform response to pedal strokes. Different connection points for the seat stays allow the seat tube to absorb impacts coming from the rear wheel in a more uniform way. - T700 CARBON FIBER For the GREVIL F, the carbon fiber used is T700 from Toray, the best carbon fiber manufacturer in the world. We combine the perfect mix of different types of HM (high modulus) and HT (high strength) fibers to achieve the ultimate balance of rigidity and vibration absorption. * The groupset/wheelset on the picture might differ from the bike specification

It’s inspired by a place where history runs deep. North of Boston, in the county now known as Essex, Chebacco Parish was one of the earliest European settlements in the mid-1600s. Today, centuries-old roads, paths and trails make it a perfect place for adventurous rides—if you have the right bike. Meet the Chebacco LE. It’s named after our local stomping grounds, but it’s at home wherever roads can get rough and rides turn into adventures. Gravel grinding, cyclocross racing, tackling a commute in the urban jungle. Now, for the first time, you can do all those things on one bike that delivers remarkable versatility plus the signature Parlee ride quality. Rather than follow the traditional blueprint for a cyclocross bike, we set out to create a premium ride experience with nearly unlimited capabilities. With disc brakes, wide tire clearance (up to 40mm) and hidden fender mounts front and rear, this 100 percent carbon fiber frame that lets you expand your riding possibilities—while giving up nothing in terms of lightweight performance and ride quality. The Chebacco LE shares the same DNA as Parlee road bikes such as the Z series and Altum models. The frame is handcrafted from the same carbon fiber materials, but with purpose-built geometry and design features including wider chainstays and seatstays. The bottom bracket is a bit lower than traditional Euro’ style cyclocross bikes, and the head tube angle a bit slacker. This gives the Chebacco LE a smooth, stable ride at speed, especially when you’re pounding through gravel, dirt or variable road surfaces. The Chebacco LE’s rear brake hose is routed through the downtube and chainstay, allowing the rear disc brake caliper to be mounted inside the triangle. The rear dropouts are modular, compatible with either thru-axle or QR, and the frame also includes integrated fender mounts for a sleek setup in wet weather conditions. You don’t need three different bikes for cyclocross racing, gravel grinding and winter road riding. You just need one Parlee.

When included, dropper posts are spec’d for reliable cold weather performance. MULTI-FUNCTIONAL Frame details add versatility. Rack mounts in the rear, bottle mounts above and beneath the down tube and triple mounts on the fork give you the option of running a barebones setup or loading up for a massive excursion. STANDOVER HEIGHT Top tube clearance is critical in fat biking. Getting off the pedals in deep snow requires lots of space over the top tube. Bigfoot strikes a perfect balance between max clearance and making space for a frame bag in the front triangle.
