Interesting & complex system. One thing I wondered about though was why so may workers are cutting, Laying & even those cleaning molds with air etc most have no mask. Wonder how safe that is in the long run
Great production line, part from the absence of stress test simulators (must be utilized for every frame and all components too) . Prices for an ENVE bike are prohibitive for me though and the absence of rim brake version is one more reason for not even dreaming of buying one.
I've always loved ENVE products . However I need a closer look at some of the finished bikes , so if you could send some samples to me that would be great . Thanks your welcome .
When you're able to offer a semi-bespoke bike that price competitive with some other halo bikes for brands that manufacture in Taiwan and China while being economical to produce given existing manufacturing operations and distribution. The only thing they seems to be importing is the prepreg carbon from Mitsubishi.
2016 AMER SPORTS ( FINNISH ) Bought ENVE for $50 Million who Also OWN MAVIC ??? 2018 AMER Sports - Purchased by CHINESE ANTA GROUP !!!!! ( CAYMAN ISLANDS )
I’m enjoying the bike so far th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.
ENVE is owned by Amer Sports. Amer bought both ENVE and Mavic at the same time, but sold Mavic off a handful of years ago now. The two are no longer affiliated.
That’s really cool. Seeing so many people working at this factory makes think these wheels are not so expensive anymore.
Buy American if you can!!!
They aren't that expensive and if you find a friendly dealer you can pay way under MSRP.

In Europe we pay 3600dollar for a set of enve...this is in every imaginable way fu***** expensive.
The carbon fiber comes from China though.
So happy to see another American company back in the bike manufacturing business.
Not an American company. ENVE is a brand of ANTA Sports, a Chinese company based in Jinjiang.
@@LitNews Funny, those workers in the plant didn't look Asian to me.

09:55
so the custom one-piece bar stem
actually not a one-piece thing?
Love: American made carbon fiber wheels, my next set!!!
Hate: background music
Nice man, really interesting watch. I like that dope ass beat playing in the background as well.
My S-Works MB has every ENVE possible part. Love their light weight products. I was able to get sub 20lb bike thanks to them.
Really cool! Very informative guide and great camera work. Enjoyed the supplementary overlays as well.
I wish they would offer rim brakes as well!
If they'd produce their own carbon fiber material, then it would've be a 💯 USA company. It still pretty cool to see all this been made in Austin.
ENVE is a brand of ANTA Sports, a Chinese company based in Jinjiang, southeast China.
nice video. 30 frame per second video setting would work better as there are a lot of blur in the video.
Thanks for sharing a little slice of heaven with us 🚲 🤜🏿🤛 I am now a fan.
That music is super annoying!
Yep
GOOD BACKGROUND MUSIC 👍
I wonder if that last bike Jake is holding is the Storm Trooper bike that belongs to Neil Shirley.

You may want to blur the names of all the customers who bought bikes in the print outs @ 12:18.
that's proper bikeporn.

Great tour!
Mike Vallely, is that you?
Now I can understand why they have to charge so much. That’s a lot of hands on work.
do a video on your commercial frames too!
素晴らしい動画ありがとうございます。
Super tour. I would be a bit worried about the one piece stem for fit. Just like Colnago, the paint shop is the bottleneck.
This is really cool.
Great video. If you make another like it could you leave out the background music? Was really distracting.
Great video! How long does it take from start to finish when building a bike? What's the lead time?
I want one of those frames when they do a version without the ISP.
super cool! Why did Envy go with domestic production as opposed to outsourcing to the Far East?

Dunno why im here cant afford anything ENVE😂. Place is sick💪. Hope it wont move to china, you guys hiring janitor -im IN🤣
09:30 they don't wear mask when they cut carbon parts?

Bjorn Ironside himself
That's where Bjorn Ironside is working now...
I want one
yeah! 🙃
Workers at Enve like to breath carbon particles when cutting carbon parts? not to mentioned Covid

No heat curing for the bonding epoxy in an oven?
You can see the ovens at 6:35 👍
I don't know what the painting guy is wearing but in such situation, you guys want him to go grocery store in that suit. 13:05
0:01 508 Watts, nice
Huge factory. No wonder their stuff costs so much.
This is all really great, but for a semi custom build you can't opt for mechanical or rim brake. So i see it as pretty closed for options.
disc tech on road bikes isn't ready yet, engineers have said it.
It’s James Freeman’s lost twin!
The reason this facility is so impressive (for the West, anyway) is that it is backed by Chinese money: ANTA Sports, based in southeast China.
Really sick tour. But quick question, where are all the asians, blacks and hispanics??? LoL
still the speedvagen is the most beautiful on that building
DOOD!
Wish i could turn the music down. So unnecessary.
Great almost no 😷 surprising for a bike company.
Awesome tour of the shop and process. Also their logo is easily one of the worst I have ever seen. Bikes look kinda cool though.
perfect it's not a chineese ! i am so happy buy wheels enve for the rest on my life ...............
The Carbon Fiber is from China.
@@Surfmus most of the carbon is sourced from Mitsubishi, who manufactures the carbon in Japan and Korea.
Dude that intro is damn annoying, almost blew my eardrums out.
Had to stop the video, the absurd electric guitar NOISE was unbearable.
American made products.
Weak. Most of them had disc breaks.
Why you don’t wear masks?
Shame that Mavic now owns ENVE.

The employee at 10:17 needs to be fired. Move to the right fool
