Discover Enve's new Melee bike

The new Melee bike from Enve has it all: it's gorgeous, sleek, fast, responsive, aerodynamic, adaptable to all sizes, and capable of tackling both roads and dirt trails.

At Cartel, we have a soft spot for companies that stand out from the crowd. Especially when they are motivated by a desire to advance the world of cycling by investing in technological research.

This is the case with Enve.

Enve has been innovating for decades. The efficiency of its wheels, the intelligence of their design, and the quality of the carbon components it carefully produces are well established.

So when Enve launched into frame production (initially only with custom frames), we were very excited. Now the company is back with its brand new Melee (pronounced like a rugby or football scrum), a cutting-edge production bike that combines the future with the present.

A sleek aircraft

The lines of this bike, designed for speed, are extraordinarily clean. The design is futuristic and sleek. The integrated cockpit eliminates the presence of cables for an even cleaner look and improved aerodynamic performance. In terms of style, comparisons with aircraft and high-performance cars are not to be dismissed.

After all, this is a technologically superior product whose appearance matches its function. Its lines are designed (and tested in a wind tunnel) to offer superior aerodynamic performance. Unlike other companies, Enve advertises realistic aerodynamic advantages, as with its wheels. So not just at 50 km/h and above.

Regardless of your abilities, this bike will allow you to go faster. It's that simple.

All-terrain and adaptable

The bike can also be used on a variety of terrains. The possibilities of this carbon monocoque are virtually endless. A multitude of options allow you to adjust the position so that your fitting in tune with the aerodynamic properties, enabling you to maximize your power output.

Because being well positioned is also the key to optimal performance.

Enve offers a geometry that adapts to all sizes to provide the same exhilarating ride, regardless of your height. The fork angle, for example, varies according to the frame dimensions to offer the same experience for everyone. Then choose your handlebars (several widths available), Stem length, Stem seatpost setback to achieve the desired comfort and performance.

The Melee can also be fitted with Tires 35mm. Want to take it off-road? No problem. Or maybe you feel more comfortable and confident with 30mm tires—that's perfect too. Especially since friction science has shown that Tires offer better performance, especially if you use tubeless tires.
