Saddleback recently opened its doors to offer a glimpse of some of its most important, interesting or downright cool new bikes and kit for 2023.<\/p>\n

The UK-based distributor is focused primarily on premium bike brands with the likes of ENVE, Moots, Pivot, Push, Castelli, Silca and HJC on show.<\/p>\n

Here are seven of our top road, gravel and urban tech highlights from the show.<\/p>\n

ENVE Melee builds<\/h2>\n

ENVE was showing off its new Melee road bike<\/a> in a variety of build options.<\/p>\n

The first comes with Shimano\u2019s latest 12-speed semi-wireless Ultegra Di2<\/a> groupset and a full complement of ENVE components.<\/p>\n

The Ultegra Di2 model comes with ENVE 45 Foundation wheels wrapped with its own SES tyres in a 29mm width. ENVE also supplies a proprietary carbon aero post, aero stem, SES Aero handlebar, and even an ENVE-edition Selle Italia Boost saddle.<\/p>\n

The premium Dura-Ace Di2 bike steps up the wheel package to the latest SES 4.5<\/a> wheelset, with a carbon-railed version of the Boost saddle.<\/p>\n

Unlike the US-manufactured Custom Road<\/a>, the Melee frameset is made in ENVE\u2019s Asia facility. ENVE already manufactured some of its stems, bars and seatposts there.<\/p>\n

Complete bike prices are still to be confirmed and should be available before the year\u2019s end. Saddleback anticipates adding more model builds in the not-too-distant future.<\/p>\n

If you prefer to build your own bike, the Melee frameset \u2013 which includes the seatpost, stem and bar \u2013 is available for \u00a35,300.<\/p>\n
