Mind prepped, body ready, equipment dialed. The rest is out of your control. When the gun goes off, a melee ensues. Confidence in your ability and your equipment provides an escape from the chaos. Shaped for speed, the Melee is a carbon fiber road bike engineered for aerodynamic efficiency and Real-World Fast performance, built to help you break free from the pack.
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 optimized around 27 to 32 mm tires, the Melee dials up the versatility, allowing you to tune your setup to meet the needs of the day.
At the foundation of performance are bike fit and geometry. If those two fundamentals are not established, all the engineering wizardry won't save your ride. You need a sound fit and refined geometry to give you the confidence and comfort needed to tap into your bike's performance. Offered in seven sizes with five fork rakes, the Melee has your ideal fit in mind – like no other race bike on the market.
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.
Real-World Fast Defined:
The IN-Route System 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.
While three fork rakes can service the bulk of riders, we've 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.
