Does the Melee Chassis come with the finishing kit? 

Yes, all that you see in Melee Finishing Kit, is included.

Do you have a DI2 battery holder for the Melee seat post? If not, what is your recommendation for mounting the DI2 battery? 

Yes, the Aero seatpost that comes with the Melee includes a Di2 plug shaped for the D-shaped Aero Seatpost.

I'd like to pre-order the DI2 cables for my Melee, what length do you recommend?

Due to all the various bar, stem, and frame sizes, we do not have the exact answer to this for every combination. For Di2 cables, lengths, and compatibility, please reach out to your authorized ENVE Melee dealer who you plan to purchase your Melee from as they will be able to help guide you in your purchase.

• ENVE uses Material Optimized Design or M.O.D. carbon in our construction. Unidirectional pre-preg carbon is strategically laid to perform a specific outcome to deliver performance where it matters most. 

• Frame Weight: 900g (+/-50g) (56cm, Painted, No Hardware)

• The Melee is purchased as a Chassis which includes frame, fork, headset, handlebar, stem, and seatpost. Headset bearings can be upgraded. The seatpost is proprietary, but the handlebar and stem in theory can be swapped to something other than ENVE. However, the ability to internally route the front end cannot be guaranteed when using aftermarket parts.

• The Melee requires the use of the ENVE Aero Seatpost.
• For guaranteed internal front-end routing, the ENVE/Melee headset top bearing cover, ENVE IN-Route Stem, and a compatible ENVE handlebar must be used.

• Rear Chainstay on Melee, MOG, and Fray are all 25mm regardless of frame size.

• There is not an RTP option currently. However, custom decal kits are available to personalize your frame graphics.

• Here's the best match from our decal builder:
  • 423c + Metallic Finish
  • 444c + Metallic Finish
• The best Pantone color matches, not on our decal builder are:
  • Premium Metallic 10394c
  • Premium Metallic 10398c

• It is 6nm.

• Melee	47	50	52	54	56	58	60
  Seat Tube Length	417	434	452	466	490	508	531
  Max Saddle Rail Height (w/ ENVE 350 mm post)	692	709	727	741	765	783	806
  Max Saddle Height (w/ ENVE SLR Saddle)*	728	745	763	777	801	819	842

• *Max saddle height will vary based on your saddle’s rail to top of saddle dimension.

• No upgrade options are available from ENVE directly. The Melee comes equipped with an ENVE Integrated IS 52/IS 52 internal Drop in – 1.5” IS 52 upper and lower bearing. The exact bearing dimensions are 40x52x7 mm, 45/45 Degree.

• It does not require a metal crown race to be added. The Melee’s fork features a molded crown race that is compatible with most drop-in IS52 bearings.

How many spacers come with the chassis and what will fit under the stem and the top cap?

• Headset Spacers are included in the box with our IN-Route stem: 2x 10mm and 2x 5mm come in the stem box.

• The frame allows a maximum of 40mm of spacers between the bottom of the stem and the top of the bearing cover. You are welcome to run zero spacers between the top bearing cover and the stem to achieve the lowest stem stack position possible.

• Yes. 300-1029-026 includes 2x 5mm spacers and 300-1029-027 includes 2x 10mm spacers. These are unique spacers for the Melee IN-Route stem and a front end that are split in the center to allow for the installation of internally routed cables.

• The top bearing cover that sits below the headset spacers is 8mm thick.

• All Melee frames are purchased through authorized ENVE dealers. The dealer return policy is defined by the retail partner. See ENVE return policy HERE

• The rider weight limit is 300 lbs.

• Please see the ENVE Incidental Protection Policy

• The Melee has tire clearance for most 35 mm labeled tires - Melee Spec Sheet

• Yes - SKU:100-5003-904 - Service Frame Protection Sticker Kit A - Melee Small Parts Support

• Yes

• T47 Inboard Bearing

• 85.5mm is the bb shell width. The Melee Frame uses a standard INBOARD T47 Bottom Bracket. In terms of crank compatibility, we defer to the bottom bracket manufacturer to state which cranks work with their T47 BB. Spacers for bottom brackets or cranks needed for installation should all be included with bottom brackets or cranksets. 

• No. The bottom Bracket is not included and is specific to the crank brand.

• Any T47 Inboard Bearing bottom bracket

• BB torque spec is determined by the listed torque spec on your BB. If there is no torque spec listed on the BB or the company would like you to defer to the bike manufacturer, we recommend 40Nm.

Here are the BBs that should be recommended from Rotor for fitment with their cranks on the Melee frame:

RECOMMENDED BOTTOM BRACKETS

Rotor Bike Components

Rotor 30mm Spindle - T4730 INTERNAL BB STEEL BLACK OR T4730 INTERNAL BB CERAMIC RED

SRAM DUB Spindle - T4729 INTERNAL BB DUB® COMPATIBLE STEEL BLACK

Shimano or Rotor (24mm) Spindle - T4724 INTERNAL BB STEEL BLACK OR T4724 INTERNAL BB CERAMIC RED

• If you do not know your fit stack and fit reach, we recommend that you procure a professional bike fit to help ensure you will be fit properly on your Melee.
• If you know your fit numbers, the ENVE Best-Fit Calculator is available to guide you in finding your ideal frame size, stem length, spacer stack, and seatpost offset.

• The stack is measured to the top of the frame and does not include the 8mm top cap. To find the stack, you would take the stack of the frame as listed by size and add 8mm to that. After you have that number you would add any spacers to the stack on top of that number. 

• The Melee is designed to seamlessly integrate with the ENVE IN-Route Stem. While it may be possible to run an aftermarket stem, we do not recommend it. An aftermarket stem will potentially create routing and compatibility problems. Most importantly though, we do not offer a top bearing cover that can accommodate the entrance of housing or hoses into the head tube and therefore the head tube and headset bearings would be exposed to the elements of one elected to use an aftermarket stem.

• Tighten both top bolts first to spec. The top bolts are no gap. Then tighten bottom bolts to spec. These should show a gap. 6nm for top and bottom

• Yes. All ENVE handlbars that feature IN-Route compatibility can be used.

• The stem and handlebar included with your stock chassis are designed to work as part of our IN-Route system, but they are sold separately, and each component can in some cases be paired with non-ENVE branded components. We do not guarantee compatibility of non-ENVE components with ENVE frames.

• The Melee is a race bike. It features dynamic and responsive handling. This is NOT an endurance or AR bike. While the handling is dynamic the ride feel is smooth without compromising on power transmission. This is a RACE bike.

• ENVE does not offer a warranty on non-ENVE branded drivetrains or components. See original manufacturer for warranty support per our warranty policy.

• No, warranty and incidental damage cover damage or defects to the frame itself. Decals or stickers are considered cosmetic and are not covered.

• You can use our decal builder
• You can directly contact our decal vendor Stikrd.com

• Frame/Chassis Box – this will include the Frame, Fork, finishing kit, headset, torque wrench, small parts, and support card. The bar, stem, and seatpost will be shipped in individual packaging.  If you purchased wheels, saddle, bar tape, tires, computer mount or any additional items they will ship in their own packaging.

• ENVE Integrated IS 52/IS 52 internal Drop in – 1.5” IS 52 upper and lower Bearing with a 40ID made by Token.

• ENVE is new to the frame game, but we’re not new to composites and aerodynamic design. After more than a decade of developing rim shapes in the fastest frames on the planet, we’ve learned a thing or two about what makes a bike fast. As a wheels-first brand, we have the unique opportunity to design a frame from the wheels up, not the frame down. The result is a complete bicycle and wheel system that achieves holistic real-world performance that those who don’t have wheel experience are more greatly challenged to achieve.

• Flat Mount disc brake

• The fork brake bolts are a specific length for our fork based on the thickness of the fork legs, so the bolts come with the fork.
• For the rear brake, you'll use the caliper bolts supplied with your brake caliper, as the distance through the frame to caliper is a distance that works fine with standard brake caliper bolts.

• Fork is 160mm only.
• The rear is 140mm or 160mm with adapter.

• Yes

• No there will be no official Melee Owner's manual at this time. However, please scan the QR code on the hang tag that comes with the bike. This will bring you to our support site for all pertinent information including warranty information, product registration instructions, and assembly instructions.

• Torque specs on all components can be found on those specific components.

• Melee Small Parts Support

• For a road double crank we’ve tested up to 55T big ring and 42T small ring.
• For 1x cranks: The Melee is compatible with ALL 1x chainrings using a chainline of 44mm or greater. The largest we have tested at this 44mm chainline is a ROUND 54T and and an ELLIPTICAL 52T. This 44mm chainline is the standard chainline that most crank manufacturers use for their 1x cranks but please consult with your crank brand if concerned with their standard on chainline measurement of their crank. 
• Note chain ring position on the crank and Q factor can affect this so use the above as a guide as you determine 1x chainring size. 

Is the stem available as an aftermarket product? 

• No. The stem is a proprietary stem that is specific for the Melee.

• (-7 degree stem)

• 39mm Rake - 373.4mm A-C
• 43mm Rake - 372.4mm A-C
• 47mm Rake - 371.5mm A-C
• 51mm Rake - 370.5mm A-C
• 55mm Rake - 370.2mm A-C

• Please see Melee Small Parts Support for those items.

• No, the front derailleur hanger is riveted to the frame. We do not offer a blank to go over that area because of this. There is a DI2 plug supplied with the frame however if you are not routing housing or wires through the frame. That said, if running a 1x instead of wanting to remove the front hanger, we'd recommend running a chain guide potentially, such as this aftermarket option: https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/products/gnarwolf-chainguide-for-braze-on-mount
