Parlee drew inspiration from a place steeped in history. North of Boston, in the county now known as Essex, the parish of Chebacco was one of the first European settlements in the mid-1600s. Today, centuries-old roads, paths, and trails make it a great place for adventurous rides – provided you have the right bike, of course.
It was in this spirit that the very first Chebacco was created; a tribute to the history of the playground surrounding the Parlee factory. With it, the challenges of the road are transformed into adventure. Whether you're planning to rack up the miles on gravel roads, participate in cyclocross races, brave the urban jungle, or simply embark on a weekend adventure, there is now a no-compromise bike that will allow you to do it all.
With the incredible versatility that the Chebacco demonstrates, you also find the exceptional ride quality of Parlee from the very first pedal strokes. Rather than following the traditional cyclocross bike model, Parlee aimed to create a premium riding experience with almost limitless capabilities. The new Chebacco XD boasts wider tire clearance than its predecessor and a multitude of mounts on the frame and fork for loading your bike. This carbon fiber frame allows you to expand your riding possibilities without sacrificing lightness and ride quality.
The new Chebacco XD shares the same DNA as Parlee's Z-series road bikes and the Altum and RZ7 models. The frame is handcrafted from the same materials and finished entirely in Essex, but with geometry and design features specifically engineered to push the limits and be comfortable off-road. The bottom bracket is slightly lower than traditional European-style cyclocross bikes, and the head tube angle is a bit slacker. This gives the Chebacco a smooth and stable ride at any speed, especially when riding on gravel, dirt, or uneven road surfaces. You no longer need three different bikes for cyclocross racing, road and dirt rides, or winter road riding—you only need one Parlee Chebacco XD. Don't just take our word for it, come see us in store and try it out!
