not sure I understand what the intended market is for this - as a racer, I'd take the Ostro Gravel or s-works crux over the Enve at this pricepoint. If I were looking for an adventure type setup, there are a lot at a substantially lower pricepoint that are even more adaptable.
This is a more versatile Crux in my opinion and the Factors I have briefly ridden don't feel nearly as good as the couple of Melee's I have gotten to spin.stevesbike wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 10:43 pmnot sure I understand what the intended market is for this - as a racer, I'd take the Ostro Gravel or s-works crux over the Enve at this pricepoint.

I m tempted…..however I ve put a temporary stop on bike purchases……at least for the rest of 2023. This of course does not the three that are already on the production schedule.

A wise move I think. You have stellar bikes. Get those ridden more.alexneumuller wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 11:09 amI m tempted…..however I ve put a temporary stop on bike purchases……at least for the rest of 2023.

I've said this about every bike that Enve has released and I've only been yelled at lol.stevesbike wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 10:43 pmnot sure I understand what the intended market is for this - as a racer, I'd take the Ostro Gravel or s-works crux over the Enve at this pricepoint.

This is kind of my point. I think they are good looking bikes and they seem to have some thought put in, but it offers none of the boutiqe-ness with a ll of the pricing. Like the new Rodeo labs that was announced - that bike has all the weirdness I would expect from a shop this size (I'd never buy one but that's beside the point). This thing is just like all of Enve's other road bikes or all-road bike.
Had they gone for something like "Incredible manufacturing, right here in the USA, and only a bit more than those normal brands", I'd think they have a market. This just isn't that and I don't what to do with it.

Man - that sucks!
The one I have came a bit over claimed weight, at almost exactly 1100 grams, but that's a 58 which is not what the claimed weight is based on. You can see some of the prebuild pics and details here: https://www.fairwheelbikes.com/blogs/ne ... epth-look/ I'll be posting the complete build once it's done. I should also have a 54 on the scale shortly as well.

I find this a pretty versatile offering and perhaps a better fit for what I want in a dedicated gravel bike. It's not a suprise however since Enve developed the bike riding exactly where I live and ride in Utah, but I think this is the first bike I can potentially race on around here (where you need at least a 42 if not more) and feel comfortable taking on a multi-overnight on a trip from Northern to Southern Utah. Don't love the color to be honest. The geometry is a nice compromise of the Kaius and something more adventure focused. I did not like the way the Factor OG rode (managed to get on one recently and generally really enjoy my Factors) and I think there is no aero benefit to it over say a similar MOG once you are north of the 40 size tire. The development team at Enve were out on this bike quite a bit last fall, so they really did quite a lot of testing on ride quality and handling on some pretty varied terrain in Utah fwiw.
Lots of bikes: currently riding Enve Melee, Krypton Pro, S Works Crux, S Works Epic Evo, SL7.
