Carbon excellence and aero efficiency from ENVE
With modern riding and racing, frame durability is critical. By running continuous fibres throughout the frame, tapering the laminate, layering and orientating fibres, to increase zone specific performance, and removing excess material, ENVE has achieved stiffness, toughness and compliance where it is needed. The Melee is finished in a classy ‘Damascus’ colour.
Using the Real-World Fast technologies taken from its SES wheel line-up, ENVE has balanced the Melee for aero efficiency. It has been tested in the lab and on the road at 32kph/20mph and 48kph/30mph, to offer performance and an optimal ride experience at realistic speeds.
Taking you where you want to go, fast
ENVE has designed the Melee with its SESTM wheelset in mind for optimal aerodynamics, since the tubeset shapes complement the SES rims. Whether your goal is to shave off valuable seconds to win a triathlon, be King of the Mountains or one of the fast-men, or simply to ride where you want to on a mixture of surfaces, the SES wheel line will get you there.
Designed with versatility in mind, the Melee can be tailored to ride a criterium or rough roads through the choice of tyre size to match the surface you’ll be tackling, optimised around 27-31mm tyres for aero performance. If you want to push the boundaries, this frame has the capability to run up to a 35mm tyre.
Tailor your build to suit your riding needs
Tuned for precision and agility, the Melee is available in seven sizes, with five different fork rakes depending on the frame size, giving you the best handling and most stable bike, no matter how tall or short you are.
It is designed to take a threaded T47 inboard bearing for smooth operation but is compatible with a range of options. When it comes down to spec’ing your frameset, the Melee is compatible with Shimano mechanical to ensure best front derailleur functionality, as well as all wired electric and wireless options and 1x or 2x configurations.
Delivering a clean look and ride confidence
The integrated front end has been designed to route hoses and wires between a 1.5” upper bearing and a 1.125” steerer tube. Combining the Melee with the integrated ENVE Road Stem and ENVE SES AR Handlebar allows the cables, wires and brake hoses to pass undetected through the handlebar to the headtube, for a clean finish and minimal wind disturbance.
The Melee uses a dedicated seat post, featuring a wind cheating Kammtail design and ENVE’s patented twin-bolt saddle rail clamp design. It is available in three lengths, with a 0˚ or -20˚ offset.
A custom bike delivering versatile racing performance
Thoroughly tested by a team that loves cycling, for guaranteed real-world performance, the elements of the Melee come together to cut down air flow disruption and boost your speed.
If you’re looking for a bike that can handle all types of roads, fits like a glove and offers a responsive, comfortable ride, the Melee is for you. ENVE has even factored in versatility and compatibility for fenders. With ENVE’s impeccable carbon credentials, as well as its 5-year Warranty and Damage Protection, you know that this incredible racing bike will serve you well.
