This Bike Is A Force To Be Reckoned With
The ENVE Melee with SRAM Force AXS is a modern road racer that delivers on their Real-World Fast™ design philosophy. Built for agility and response, with 35 mm of tire clearance, the Melee is ready for criteriums and classics alike. Now you can buy Bike Radar's 2023 Performance Bike of the Year in a complete build.
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
With racing in focus, the Melee has been tuned for response, precision, and agility. Seven frame sizes aim to accommodate riders of all sizes and fit needs, and five unique fork rakes ensure that optimal handling is achieved regardless of frame size.
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.
