Tough enough The MOG is built from Enve's most durable, lightweight mix of carbons with optimised fibres in key areas for impact resistance, stiffness and compliance

Hot on the heels of our reigning performance bike of the year, the Enve Melee, comes the MOG. Utah-based brand Enve claims that the MOG (which stands for 'mother of gravel') is for riders who like to push the boundaries of distance and rolling exploration'.
