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.

    Tom Pidcock

    World and Olympic champion, Ineos Grenadiers.

  • "A great service, full of personal touches as well as the "harder" scientific analysis of my position on the bike, which was also excellent. I feel more planted on the bike now, and came away with some really useful feedback from the session."
