Product Details
Various approaches are made to the modern road race bike, and—unsurprisingly—ENVE offers a nuanced take. The Melee overlays the customizable aspect of the ENVE Custom Road with a standard size range, providing a balance of personalization and performance. Don’t fear; although the Melee is custom-built, it features tube shape refinement and a lower weight, achieving a compromise that enhances both handling and comfort without sacrificing quality.
ENVE has decades of carbon fiber refinement under their belts, ensuring that each frame is crafted with precision. Designing and constructing to enhance the strength of the fibers, the Melee’s carbon fibers are meticulously layered and oriented to achieve the perfect hybrid of stiffness and compliance. This advanced construction technique results in a frame that delivers a responsive ride while maintaining a level of comfort that is essential for long-distance racing.
ENVE promises that if you ride ENVE, “you’re riding the best,” and the Melee exemplifies this commitment to excellence. Each frame is a testament to ENVE’s dedication to innovation and quality, offering a ride that combines cutting-edge technology with a refined design.
Pair the ENVE Melee with their in-house SES wheels for the best possible riding experience. The SES wheels are engineered to complement the Melee’s performance characteristics, providing exceptional aerodynamics, low weight, and a smooth ride. Together, they create a cohesive system that maximizes efficiency and speed.
If you’re looking to build up this frameset into a complete bike, get in touch with one of Contender's Pro Build Experts to get started. The chassis comes with bars that are proportional to the frame, and we can make accommodations to ensure the perfect fit for your riding style and preferences. With expert guidance, you can create a personalized bike that meets your exact needs and delivers an unparalleled riding experience.
