REAL-WORLD FAST™
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:
- 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
As road racing has evolved there is constantly more and more asked of our bike frames. The Melee’s ability to run a wide range of tire widths to comfortably tackle whatever racing is on the calendar makes it the perfect road bike for how I ride.

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.
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

*Melee mechanical routing requires continuous housing from shifter to derailleur. This prevents some brand's front derailleurs from Melee compatibility.
