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.

What our clients say

  • "Very very personalised service. You arrive, they expect you, greet you by first name, have checked your file from past visits and set out very clearly what the process will be, what issues they're looking to address and how and they are happy to take the time to walk you through everything in layman's terms. Almost any professional service entity could learn a lot from how Cyclefit works. "
