Enve Melee V2 road bike, SRAM Red AXS 12-speed Enve, SES 4.5, Pro, White Lightning

The ENVE Melee V2 pushes the boundaries of the modern road bike even further by simultaneously optimising both lightness and aerodynamics. Faster than the first generation, it has been developed with the rider at the heart of the process and features a design crafted to optimise the bike’s performance in real-world conditions. With its refined frame and high level of integration, the Melee V2 retains the responsiveness that defines the model whilst improving its efficiency at high speeds.

In this White Lightning version, the frame is paired with a SRAM RED AXS 12-speed electronic drivetrain and a set of ENVE SES 4.5 carbon wheels Pro, for a competition-oriented build. Attention to aerodynamic detail extends right down to the SES bottle cages and the handlebars, whilst the claimed weight is 6.8 kg for a complete Sram RED build. A bike designed for those seeking a package that is as light as it is high-performing, whether the road climbs or the pace picks up.

ENVE has also focused on the bike as a whole rather than just the frame. The profile of the fork, seatpost and handlebars helps to reduce drag, whilst the aerodynamic SES bottle cages are integrated into this pursuit of overall performance. Developed in the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS wind tunnel at Silverstone, the Melee V2 takes into account the influence of the rider, the wheels and the accessories to deliver a bike that is consistent down to the very last detail. The result is a machine designed to maintain its efficiency both on long, fast stretches and on climbs where every gram counts.
