Enve Fray 2024 review: Still fast, but extra versatile

I’ve been covering Enve products almost as long as I’ve been in this business. The brand has always been a beacon of premium carbon engineering but Enve has also always been an aftermarket parts supplier. At one time there wasn’t a better carbon fork on the market and hand-built carbon wheels from Utah are a mainstay in the custom bike building scene. Then in 2022, Enve changed the game a bit. 

Following on the heels of the Enve Custom Road bike, the Enve Melee hit the market as a very American take on a road race bike. The Melee is distinct from European race bikes with a slightly taller headtube, more flex, and room for tyres up to 35mm and fenders. Not only did it establish Enve as a brand worth considering for the best road bikes buyers guide but it started Enve down a new path.
