It's designed for \u003cstrong\u003eroad racing and fast group riding\u003c\/strong\u003e. The idea is that a racer who would normally choose between a lightweight climbing bike and an aero race bike can ride one bike for both. The \u003cstrong\u003eENVE M.O.D. carbon frame weighs 750–850g depending on size\u003c\/strong\u003e. ENVE developed it with its Real-World Fast™ protocol, testing with a rider on board rather than an empty frame in a wind tunnel. ENVE set a \u003cstrong\u003e6.8 kg complete bike\u003c\/strong\u003e as its design target, which is a demanding number once disc brakes and electronic shifting batteries are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis build pairs the frame with \u003cstrong\u003eSRAM RED E1 AXS\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003eSRAM RED 2x power meter crankset\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eENVE SES 4.5 wheels on Innerdrive Premium hubs\u003c\/strong\u003e. The integrated SES cockpit and proprietary aero seatpost come fitted. Beneath the aero shaping, the frame has practical details that many aero bikes leave out: a \u003cstrong\u003ethreaded BSA bottom bracket\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003eUDH rear derailleur hanger\u003c\/strong\u003e, and clearance for \u003cstrong\u003e33mm tires\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoad racers and crit riders who want one bike for flat, fast races and for climbing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGroup-ride regulars who ride at race pace and want aero gains without carrying extra weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders who train with power and want a power meter built into the crankset\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders who care about long-term servicing: threaded BB, standard axles, UDH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsider something else\u003c\/strong\u003e if you mainly want long-day comfort, gravel capability, or a cockpit you can adjust easily\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit first.\u003c\/strong\u003e The one-piece handlebar (90mm stem length, 37\/40cm width) and proprietary seatpost limit how much you can adjust after purchase.
