Customization Beyond Limits: Introducing the Parlee Chebacco XD LE
If you have had a look at the component options offered by the Parlee Chebacco XD and felt a little let down that the prebuilds don’t include options you’d like to have, then the Parlee Chebacco XD LE is for you. Available both in prebuild options as well as a standalone frame, the Chebacco XD LE makes it possible for you to create your dream gravel bike.
It’s not just the customizability of components that makes the LE special. All frames in the Parlee pantheon with the LE signification have been made using an even higher grade of carbon, which keeps them incredibly light as well as durable. In addition to that, the Chebacco XD LE models can have a customized colorway and feature the Flex Fit top cap system, which allows you to choose from three stack heights to accommodate your preferred riding style from aggressive racy to endurance-oriented.
But they have also worked with the geometry to shift it from race bike aggressive to gravel agreement. The wider chainstays and seatstays offer a durability and capability off-piste applications require. The designers have also lowered the bottom bracket relative to the road offerings and slackened the head tube angle ever-so-slightly. That will add an extra touch of stability for those bracing gravel-y descents you will likely be facing, without losing the snappy responsiveness on the road that we all love in our Parlees.
Tire Options and Wheel Compatibility in the Chebacco XD LE
Where the Chebacco XD LE becomes even more capable is with the ability to go even wider on the tire size, as well as the option to run either 700c or 650b wheels. So you can wrap your 700c wheels in 45mm tires and expand that to 47mm for 650b. With those wider tires, you’ll be tempted to go further longer, which is one reason it is nice that they have also included hidden fender mounts for the front and rear as well as storage mounts on the top tube, under the down tube and on the fork legs so that you can weather proof your ride and take lots more along the way. For the fork, Parlee uses their XD fork with a tapered steerer tube to provide stability, rigidity, and vertical compliance.
Compatible with for 1x and 2x drivetrains, the Chebacco XD LE has all it takes to become the ultimate gravel bike, winter training bike, Sunday racer, and commuting in style bike. Just be careful you don’t chain this baby up anywhere but in your bedroom.
