Thank you. I had very limited time to produce this video (much of it recorded late on 02/23/2023), I will share my thoughts once I have the review ready, could be a little while. Many thanks in advance for your patience.
Sweet bike. Love that it has T47 BB. I have that on my No. 22 Reactor. Seriously considering one. My only gripe (small) is all the mounting screws since I don't do (or plan to) backpacking, just gravel races/events.
It looks pretty cool, but I can't help but wonder why so many 'adventure' bike manufacturers continue to omit dynamo routing through the fork or a fork crown mount for a light. Heck, ENVE even makes a fork with this setup. It's odd that they wouldn't equip this on the bike.
Because it is NOT an adventure bike. This is just yet another generic race geometry bike with wider tire clearance. The tire clearance is not even very good clearance at this point in the game. Other manufacturers are now up to 2.4 inch clearance for 700c tires while still keeping road width bottom bracket. They are also trying to put a marketing spin on the intentionsl lack of mounting points to "save weight". Uhh huh. No dynamo mounting as you pointed out. In otherwords, just another in a long line of gravel race bikes in a market flooded with slightly modified road bikes masquerading as gravel bikes. Thats all this is. You want a well thought out adventure bike with a lot of attention to detail (including dynamo routing), perhaps look to companies like Mason out of the UK. Or the Pipedream A.L.I.C.E. if you want a mega tire clearance bike with stable slack geometry.
@@alexjohnson6462 Gotcha. I guess I was confused as even the subject line of this video had the word and the word is mentioned 6 times on the product page. But you're absolutely right, it's just yet another carbon generic with a label and a higher sticker price.
Dude, the original plan was Catalina Island but weather changes that. You need to understand these trips are very busy and time limited, nothing personal!
This wasn't a review video... however, I am working on a collaboration involving this bike and a new groupset soon... I will post a proper review of the bike later. Thank you!
Good riding with you out there.
Likewise Mr Delaney, I expect we will cross paths next at Sea Otter.
I'm a mog: half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend!
That’s kinda cool, at least you’re proud of it 🤷
It looks like the designers have incorporated a new Ludicrous Speed setting into this new Mog model.
Great reference
$5,500.00 for yet one more Made In China carbon frames. Sorry- not making sense to me. Oh ya, I forgot- internal cable routing.
I'm interested in *your* thoughts. This video is Enve's rep doing voiceover for their product presentation.

Interesting frame. Looking forward to your long term review on this one.
Such a rad looking bike!
Thanks Jayson!

In the past, I've removed such screws, and filled each hole with a small dab of silicone.

Why didn't you tell me you were going to be in down? I live in Northern San Diego!

Nice vid but what does it feel like to ride?

Master Of Gravel!
Kind of wild how similar this is to my Parlee Chebacco XD, apart from the seat stays.
That is a nice rig, reviewed that bike a little while ago.
Nice looking bike but after checking the price I now know why they reference credit card camping lol.
I noticed the Enve rep threw that term into his marketing spiel without much irony . . .
Ridiculously expensive, especially considering the recovery of production and overstocking issues globally
Cool bike until I saw all the internal and hidden cabling system and proprietary handle bars/stems -hard pass
gravel with us?
Excellent look, great finish, this brand really makes beautiful products.
But for me the Melee is a Tarmac SL7 and this MOG is a Diverge.
There may be some similarities with the Diverge's geometry, but no suspension.
did i just hear the wrd PLUMBING?
5500 for a frameset made in China? Dude, c'mon
C'mon dude, I don't set the prices, I recorded the info.
@@ivanboesky1520 No, you're just jealous. You need a juice box and a hug from mummy. LOL!
Ferrari Lamborghini Bugatti Ducati --MOG. I own a Melee and staggering-ly great.
"The name was an evolution..." Final Fantasy fans be like...ummm
a bike that can be everything for everyone, sounds a bit soulless imo
