The Melee takes design cues from ENVE’s Custom Road, but where the Custom Road prioritizes customization, the Melee prioritizes efficiency and speed. With geometry and handling characteristics optimized for 27 to 32 mm tires, the Melee is a modern road race bike engineered to provide the performance competitive riders demand. The Melee performs in all the areas that count – efficient power transmission, weight, aerodynamics and versatility. To achieve the versatility today’s road racers require, the Melee provides riders with up to 35 mm of tire clearance.

Building on ENVE’s foundation of Real-World Fast™ aero technologies, the Melee has been designed to complement the SES™ wheel line and to deliver aero efficiency that places it amongst the fastest bikes on the road. Tailoring tube shapes to complement SES™ rim shapes allows the Melee to efficiently pair with any ENVE SES™ or Foundation wheelset. Features such as the Integrated Front-End ensures the Melee is aerodynamically optimized as the wires and hoses are routed internally to be out of sight and out of the wind.

You are only as fast as your fit allows. Ensuring that the majority of riders out there achieve their ideal fit and the intended ride experience, the Melee is offered in seven frame sizes with five fork rakes. Additionally, handlebar width/style, stem length, and seatpost setback are chosen à la carte to ensure the correct fit from the start. These options make the Melee the most readily customizable fixed geometry race bike on the market.

We have put together some complete bike packages from SRAM and Shimano that are only available here at Black Magic Paint. All of these bikes will be built to order for the customer to allow for sizing of cockpit pieces, crankset, and choice of tire size at no additional cost. Since we are building these bikes for each rider, we can also provide upgrades like ceramic bearings from Ceramicspeed, power meters, Garmin GPS/Taillights, alternative tire choices, and alternative/additional wheelset options. We will be in touch with each customer individually after the purchase to finalize sizing and details. Fully custom build specs are also available. Please call or email for any questions about upgrades/changes to the build.

Available in stock Poison Apple, Gloss ENVE Black, Slipstream Pearl, Damascus Grey, Matte ENVE Black, Aegean Blue or with custom a finish.

ENVE Melee’s can also be fully customized with custom paint. Please call or email for more information.

Bikes will be shipped fully adjusted and 95% assembled in an oversized container. Simply install your wheels and seatpost and you’ll be ready to ride. Most sizes/configurations ship in approximately 2 weeks.
