ENVE Fray Review on EVERY Road: The Best All Road Bike?

[@Beeldvullen1979]

Sold my Aethos and Aspero for the Fray with 1x13. Can’t wait for it to arrive 😊

700c x 40mm for tyres? You will love the Fray :)

[@Beeldvullen1979]

⁠@@GravelCyclistyes, got the Hutchinson Caracal race 40mm 👍🏻

[@defiancecycling]

I have the Fray set up with XPLR 1x13, 44T with the 10-46 cassette. 32mm Conti 5000 TR tires rolling on Industry Nine AR 40 wheels. It's the best combination of a road bike I've ever ridden.

[@GravelCyclist]

@@defiancecycling Very sweet setup 👌

Love your channel mate, keep it up! Legendary!

[@GravelCyclist]

Thanks Mate!

[@hansschotterradler3772]

Looks like an awesome road bike, suitable for tame gravel.

How would you compare this to the Time ADHX? That one seemed to be a winner, also. Great content watching you live your best life riding bikes and talking about it.

[@GravelCyclist]

Hello there, I have reviewed the Time ADHX 45, not the original ADHX. The 45 is a bike with larger tyre clearance than the Fray, and specifically meant for gravel cycling. If that's what you're looking for, I would choose the ADHX 45 over the Fray. Bear in mind, ENVE also offers the MOG, their own full-on gravel bike. Hopefully my response helps somewhat, thanks for chiming in!

Love it. How do you like the ash color in person?

[@GravelCyclist]

Ash is my preferred color for this bike. The color is close to battleship grey, or in Dodge's muscle car paint nomenclature, Smoke Show :) The gloss coat over the top really makes the color pop.

[@defiancecycling]

I have Ash color as well. It looks great in person. I almost got the Venom color. It offers more pop if that's your thing. The Ash looks great with black or silver hubs or calipers.

My dream bike, only thing I feel conflicted is D-shaped seatpost. Or does Enve MOG play well with road wheels/tires? Maybe i should look at Mog if it does like Crux. PS: Honda Element is a great car ahead of others in practicality imo.

[@GravelCyclist]

Hello there, I have only spent a short time riding a MOG, and never with road wheels / tyres. I'm sure you could make the MOG work as a do-it-all bike sans issues. I scratch my head as to why Honda decided to stop producing the Element. Glad I've hung onto mine all of these years!

[@defiancecycling]

I would also look at the Fifty One Sika. Round seat post, one piece bar and stem, T 47, and less money. 40mm tire clearance.

[@buckcram5908]

How'd you get along with this frame when the 4.5s where mounted? Sluggish or spirited?

[@philb9495]

Err 40mm not 4.5 inch

[@ericbeech2652]

Yo dude, he's asking about the enve 4.5 wheelset.

[@GravelCyclist]

Spirited.

[@valiantabello]

Lol you failed reading comprehension I see ​@@philb9495

[@rrosomasa]

i was really looking fwd to this bike, but the lack of Campy support makes me look elsewhere

[@GravelCyclist]

I think EPS wireless is all that will work with it... oh, and Ekar.
