U.S. carbon component manufacturer Enve has been very busy in the past few years. Renowned for its carbon wheels, forks and components, the Utah-based company entered the frame manufacturing market in 2021 with its U.S.-made Custom Road bike. It has produced a new frameset every year since, and the brand now offers a full line-up of drop bar bikes ranging from a big-tired gravel bike to racing bikes and the newly unveiled Fray all-road model. With four bike models introduced in just as many years, the company is evolving from aftermarket wheel and component specialists to a full-service bicycle brand.
In professional racing, too, Enve has been growing its presence. Tadej Pogačar and his UAE Team Emirates have been riding Enve's SES line of wheels and aero cockpits –the latter specifically designed to meet the team's demands– to many race wins. Similarly, Ivan Basso and Alberto Contador's project, Team Polti Kometa, also continues to make use of Enve wheels and components. But when TotalEnergies lost Specialized as its equipment sponsor at the end of 2023, Enve stepped up to fill the void and supply the necessary bikes – a massive undertaking for a small brand that made its first bike frame only four short years ago.
