ENVE Melee v2 frameset cuts weight and drag at the same time
The ENVE Melee v2 Frameset tackles the two biggest levers in road racing, weight and aerodynamics, at the same time instead of trading one for the other. A 7.5 percent reduction in frame surface area, a new smaller-bearing headset, and a redesigned two-bolt seatpost strip weight without slowing the frame's aero profile. Tire clearance narrows to 33 millimeters, keeping drag in check without giving up modern road volume. The result holds onto the responsive, race-ready feel the Melee platform built its reputation on.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I built up a 56cm Melee v2 expecting some flex trade-off for the weight it dropped, and out of the saddle on a punchy climb it still snaps forward the way the original Melee always has. Nothing about this frame rides like a diet version of itself."
Building up the Melee v2 Frameset and want help dialing in the right spec? Our Gearhead® Experts know this frame inside out. Reach out, and we'll help you put together a build that matches how you ride.

Melee V2 Frameset
Lighter, Faster, No Compromise
Inside The Melee V2
Lighter, Not Lesser
A new In-Route headset, two-bolt seatpost, and BSA BB cut real weight, for a 791 gram frame that keeps efficient power transfer.
Wind Tunnel Proven
Frame, fork, and seatpost save 11.4 watts, so you hold speed for less effort, tested with a rider on board instead of a mannequin.
Clearance Without The Drag
Tire clearance narrows to 33mm max, 31mm optimal, cutting drag without forcing you onto narrower tires than modern roads call for.
Geometry Tuned Per Size
Stack drops 11mm on sizes 56 to 60, and 5 fork rakes across 7 sizes keep the handling the same no matter which one you ride.
