Enve launch a brand first gravel bike called MOG
Carbon fibre specialists Enve Composites have taken another significant step with the introduction of the MOG, representing the brands first gravel bike.
Offered as a chassis, the MOG will enable riders to custom build their gravel weapon any way they like it. Front derailleur mount. Check. Massive tyre clearance*. Check. 600ml of down tube based ‘in frame’ storage. Check. Mounting points on forks and top tube. Check. Dropper post compatible? Do you even need to ask?
Of the tyre sizes, and frame / fork clearance; how’s 700c up to 50mm (2.0) sound?
The MOG has been designed with the versatility required to allow you to build your ultimate off-road drop bar machine. Run 40’s to go fast, and maximize mud clearing capabilities. Run 50’s to maximize traction, volume, and fun.
Enve recommends:
- 40mm Tire – Wet/muddy, smooth, and fast gravel conditions
- 50mm Tire – Dry/loose, rocky, and technical gravel conditions
The MOG is available in 6 frame sizes and 3 fork rakes, with all the usual Enve bar, stem, and seatpost options on offer.
Enve’s In-Route System keeps all hoses and wires internal, improving the bikes aero performance, and gives a clean aesthetic, whilst the brand emphasises a practical and user-friendly solution. Your local bike shop mechanic may agree to disagree on the practicality point, but there’s no denying the MOG look is strong.
Whatever your view on internal cable routing, there’s also no denying the Enve brand has taken another big step in the direction of being a bike brand, with the MOG joining the Melee, the brands first volume production road bike.
In the UK, Saddleback are distributor for the Enve brand. The MOG will retail for £5500 with the Chassis including frame, fork, stem, seatpost (standard) and headset.
