ENVE Melee V2 Frameset Lighter. Faster. No Compromise. The Melee v2 solves the two things that matter most in modern road racing - weight and aerodynamics - at the same time, removing the usual tradeoff between a lightweight climbing bike and a dedicated aero race bike. ENVE cut total frame surface area by 7. 5%, reworked the headtube around a new, smaller headset bearing, and moved to a BSA bottom bracket and UDH derailleur hanger, shaving weight everywhere it could be found without giving up the responsive ride character the Melee is known for. The result: a 56cm frame in ENVE's UL Black finish weighs 791 grams, light enough that a complete 56cm build can hit the UCI's 6. 8kg minimum bike weight with a SRAM Red-level build. Every tube shape on the Melee v2 was developed at the Mercedes-Petronas F1 wind tunnel in Silverstone, UK, with aerodynamicist Simon Smart, using ENVE's Real-World Fast protocol - testing with a rider on board, bottles and cages mounted, validated against SES rim shapes rather than tested as a bare frame in isolation. That system-level approach is where the numbers come from: ENVE measured the Melee v2 as 17 watts faster than its predecessor, with 11. 4 watts coming from the frame, fork, and seatpost alone, 3 watts from the new handlebar and bar tape, and 2. 6 watts from the redesigned aero bottle cages. A new two-bolt seatpost saves 28 grams and retains its hardware during saddle installation, and tire clearance was tightened from 35mm to 33mm - enough to cut weight and drag without giving up the tire volume modern road racing demands.

D Carbon frame and fork unidirectional pre-preg carbon laid zone-by-zone for targeted stiffness, compliance, and impact toughness where each matters most Developed at the Mercedes-Petronas Wind Tunnel tube shapes and component pairings developed with aerodynamicist Simon Smart, tested with a rider on board and bottles/cages mounted, per ENVE's Real-World Fast protocol7. 5% reduction in frame surface area combined with a new headset bearing, BSA bottom bracket, and UDH derailleur hanger for a 791-gram 56cm frame in UL Black Integrated Front-End with fully internal cable routing wires, hoses, and brake lines routed through bar, stem, and headset via the IN-Route System, secured with ENVE's anti-rattle finishing kit Seven frame sizes with five fork rakes matched pairings keep handling consistent across the full size run, from 47cm to 60cm, with a lower stack height on 56-60cm sizes for a more aggressive race position New two-bolt seatpost saves 28 grams versus the outgoing design, improves aerodynamics, and retains its hardware during saddle installation; ships zero-offset with the frame Specifications Frame Material ENVE M.
