Product Description

An Enve frameset is more than a starting point, it’s the foundation of a bike built with intention. By offering the Melee as a frameset, Enve empowers you to craft a bike that reflects your riding priorities, personal fit, and uncompromising standards. With a broad selection of handlebar models, along with tailored options for bar dimensions, stem length, and seatpost setback, every detail of your cockpit is yours to define.   The Melee takes design cues from our own Custom Road, but where the Custom Road prioritizes customization, the Melee prioritizes efficiency and speed. With geometry and handling characteristics optimized for 27 to 32 mm tyres, the Melee is a modern road race bike engineered to provide the performance competitive riders demand. The Melee performs in all the areas that count – efficient power transmission, weight, aerodynamics and versatility. To achieve the versatility today’s road racers require, the Melee provides riders with up to 35 mm of tyre clearance.   Building on Enve’s foundation of Real-World Fast™ aero technologies, the Melee has been designed to complement the SES™ wheel line and to deliver aero efficiency that places it amongst the fastest bikes on the road. Tailoring tube shapes to complement SES™ rim shapes allows the Melee to efficiently pair with any Enve SES™ or Foundation wheelset. Features such as the Integrated Front-End ensures the Melee is aerodynamically optimized as the wires and hoses are routed internally to be out of sight and out of the wind.   At Enve, we believe that you are only as fast as your fit allows. Ensuring that the majority of riders out there achieve their ideal fit and the intended ride experience, the Melee is offered in seven frame sizes with five fork rakes. Additionally, handlebar width, stem length, and seatpost setback are chosen à la carte to ensure the correct fit from the start. These options make the Melee the most readily customizable fixed geometry race bike on the market.   Real-World FAST™ Developed in CFD and the wind tunnel, the Melee features refined tube shapes that have been tuned to complement Enve’s SES™ rim shapes and deliver aerodynamic performance that is ready to battle with the fastest bikes on the road. Full front-end integration contributes to the Melee’s slippery design.   Balanced for aero efficiency and weight savings. Tube shapes complement SES rim shapes. Integrated Front-End hides wires and brake. Wind tunnel tested for performance at 32 kph/20 mph and 48 kph/30 mph.   Integrated For Speed The Integrated Front-End routes wires and hoses through the bar, stem, and headset where they’re secured using Enve’s anti-rattle frame finishing kit. This allows internally routed hoses and wires to remain silent, out of sight, and out of the wind. Featuring the two-piece Integrated Aero Stem and SES AR Handlebar, the Melee capitalizes on the conveniences of a two-piece handlebar and stem while maximizing the aerodynamic benefits of the streamlined design.   Integrated Aero Stem Enve's Integrated Aero Stem debuts with the Melee. This stem takes design cues from the Aero Road Stem but allows cables, wires, and brake hoses to pass from the handlebar into the head tube. The -7 degree stem is available in 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, and 130 mm lengths. Compatible with the Enve x K-Edge Aero Stem accessory and computer mount.   Aero Seatpost The Melee features an all-new aero seatpost with a Kamm tail design and Enve's patented twin-bolt saddle rail clamp design. Available in straight or 20 mm setback and compatible with 7x7, 7x9, and 7x10 mm saddle rails.   Material Optimized Design (M.O.D.) Enve are carbon experts, artisans of our craft, using the best material for the application and making the products that we want to ride. At Enve, we design and build to the strengths of carbon fiber. This means running continuous fibers throughout the frame and fork, tapering the laminate, and removing excess material to save weight. Carbon fiber is layered and oriented to achieve zone-specific performance requirements like impact toughness, stiffness and compliance. M.O.D. is giving you everything you need, and nothing that you don’t to perform when the rubber hits the road.   35mm Of Freedom Given the Melee’s race-bred pedigree, geometry and handling characteristics are tuned for tyre sizes between 27 and 32 mm. However, the needs of the day may dictate that more tyre volume will result in more speed. When the moment presents itself, a max tyre clearance of 35 mm means that your Melee will be ready.   Drivetrain Compatibility The Melee is compatible with most drivetrain brands, models, and configurations on the market. The Integrated Front-End provides internal brake hose, housing, and wire routing for 2x and 1x drivetrains alike. Mechanical (Shimano Only*). Electronic Wired. Electronic Wireless. 1x. 2x. *Melee mechanical routing requires continuous housing from shifter to derailleur.
