James Enve Melee in Aegean Blue

This bike was rightly a long time in gestation. It is a bike with a purpose. The goal is to significantly lift the average speed of its owner by a significant margin when competing in mountain events. It had to be lighter and more aero than the outgoing Trek Domane but still work well from a bike-fit and comfort perspective. After much soul-searching and test-riding (Trek Madone Gen8, Specialized S-Works Tarmac, Seven Axiom XX) James selected the Enve Melee as his summer weapon of choice.

  • "Honestly these are great (custom orthotics). My feet feel totally balanced and stable and I‘m not searching for the pedal when I want to push it. They’ve made a massive difference.”"

    Tom Pidcock

    Olympic MTB Gold Medallist

  • "Rode my standard Box Hill loop this morning with the temp shims and more thought to position. Felt more connected and compact on the bike. Fastest ride of the year, picked up close to a km/per hour despite crappy wet pot holed roads, a ton of traffic and a couple of nights out Thu/Fri."
