Features:

Real-World Fast™ Defined:

  • 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.

Personalize your Chasis

An ENVE Chassis is the canvas upon which you can build your dream bike. The Melee is sold as a chassis-only which includes the frame, fork, headset, stem, handlebar, and seatpost. To initiate your build, begin by selecting your frame size, stem length, handlebar width, and seatpost setback. If there are questions regarding your fit, work with your ENVE retailer and/or bike fitter, and employ the use of the ENVE Best-Fit Calculator to reach your ideal chassis configuration. From there, pair it with your drivetrain of choice and your favorite SES or Foundation wheelset.

Integrated Aero Stem(Not Included)

ENVE's new 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(Not Included)

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)

We 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 tire sizes between 27 and 32 mm. However, the needs of the day may dictate that more tire volume will result in more speed. When the moment presents itself, a max tire 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. This prevents some brand's front derailleurs from Melee compatibility.

Threaded T47 Inboard-bearing bottom bracket

Featuring a threaded T47 inboard-bearing bottom bracket for smooth, silent, creak-free operation. Your bottom bracket is the last thing you should have to think about.
