Material Optimized Design - The Secret behind Enve Carbon.
Enve Composites - Carbon experts, artisans of their craft. Using the best material for application and making the products that they want to ride.
Decades of marketing hype around the mystique of carbon fiber has led people to focus on the material itself instead of the process it is subjected to. At Enve, they design and build to the strengths of carbon fiber. This means running continuous fibers throughout the part, tapering the laminate and removing excess material to save weight. Further, fibers are layered and oriented to achieve zone-specific performance requirements like impact toughness, stiffness and compliance.
Our promise is that if you ride ENVE, you're riding the best.

Disclaimer; Frame weight is only a fun measure which should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Now that frames have become more integrated. A final system or chassis weight might appear like a more appropriate comparison, however there are still so many other variables such as size, geometry, hardware, routing, bb spec, paint etc.
Only complete bike weight, paints a full picture.
That said, if counting grams is a priority, then choosing a frame that is an indicative 100-200g lighter than a competitor would be a good step in the right direction.Ā
