Bike Radar’s 2023 Performance Bike Of The Year

The ENVE MELEE Frameset is the starting point for a road bike build to match confidence in your ability with confidence in your equipment.

The Melee takes design cues from the ENVE Custom Road, but where the Custom Road prioritizes customization, the Melee prioritizes efficiency and speed. With geometry optimized around 27 to 32 mm tires, the Melee dials up the versatility with the ability to fit up to 35 mm tires, allowing you to tune your Melee to meet the needs of the day.

Real World Fast

Developed in CFD and the wind tunnel, the Melee features refined tube shapes that have been tuned to complement their SES™ rim shapes and deliver aerodynamic performance. Additional features such as the Integrated Front-End add to the Melee’s slippery design.

The Integrated Front-End routes wires and hoses through the bar, stem, and headset, where they’re secured using ENVE’s anti-rattle finishing kit, allowing them to remain silent, out of sight, and out of the wind.

Fit & Geometry

At the foundation of performance are bike fit and geometry. Offered in seven sizes with five fork rakes, the Melee has your ideal fit in mind — like no other race bike on the market.

ENVE have added two extra fork rakes to specifically accommodate the smallest and largest of riders. This ensures that the Melee, regardless of size, will deliver the same level of responsive, confidence-inspiring handling required of a race bike.
