ENVE Melee Road Frame – Slipstream Pearl Frameset

This listing is for the frame only. Handlebars, stem, seatpost, saddle, drivetrain, and wheels are not included and should be selected separately to suit your fit and riding goals. ENVE strongly recommends working with an authorised Brisbane bike shop and a professional bike fitter to finalise sizes and cockpit configuration before ordering.

Real‑World Fast™ Aerodynamics with Modern Tire Clearance

The Melee’s tube shapes are engineered to complement ENVE SES wheel profiles, reducing drag where it matters most while keeping steering predictable in crosswinds. With clearance for modern higher‑volume tyres, the frame balances speed and comfort on imperfect roads—ideal for Queensland conditions.

• Minimum tyre size: 25c
• Optimal tyre size: 27c–32c
• Maximum listed clearance: 35c

This flexibility lets riders tune grip, rolling resistance, and comfort depending on event demands and road surfaces.

Lightweight ENVE M.O.D. Carbon Construction

Built from ENVE M.O.D. carbon, the Melee delivers immediate power transfer and responsive handling without sacrificing compliance. The frame weighs approximately 850 g (size 56, painted, no hardware), placing it among the lightest integrated aero race platforms available while maintaining stiffness for sprinting and climbing.

Integrated, Fit‑First Road Platform

The Melee features fully internal routing for brake hoses and shift cables, a T47 threaded bottom bracket for reliability, and a clean flat‑mount disc brake interface. ENVE’s approach emphasises fit accuracy: different fork rakes by frame size help maintain consistent handling across the range.

Riders are encouraged to select:

• Frame size
• Stem length
• Handlebar width
• Seatpost setback

before finalising the build. This fit‑led method ensures optimal weight distribution and confidence at speed.
