The race often comes down to the last few hundred metres. The bunch is still together, you pick your moment, and you go. The Liv EnviLiv Advanced 1 road bike is built for exactly that, so when you commit everything to the sprint, the result comes down to your legs and not the bike.
Made to answer the second you commit
Liv studies how bike and rider meet the air at every speed and angle, on the computer and in the wind tunnel. Truncated ellipse airfoil tubes and the Liv Contact SL handlebar, with flattened tops and deeper drops, cut drag and give you more control when it's elbow to elbow. As a Liv aero road bike, it holds the speed you build, so a gap you open stays open.
Light and stiff, not one or the other
Stiffness and low weight usually pull against each other. The new Advanced-grade composite frame and fork find the middle ground, saving 292 grams over the last generation. The upshot: the power you put down drives you forward instead of into a flexing frame, on the climbs and out of the saddle in the sprint.
Small details, real seconds
Cables run through the bar, stem and frame for cleaner air and easier packing when you travel to races. Two aero bottle cages sit flush with the seat tube and down tube to trim drag further. On a Liv carbon road bike this focused, the details are there to be used, not admired.
Features
- Advanced Composite Technology: high-performance raw carbon frameset, built for light weight, stiffness and controlled compliance.
- AeroSystem Shaping: tube shapes developed with CFD and wind-tunnel data for better aerodynamics.
- OverDrive Aero: D-shaped fork steerer and matching spacers for clean, easy-to-service internal cable routing.
- Vector seatpost: full-composite, light and aero, made for performance road riding.
- Tubeless system: tubeless-ready WheelSystem with Dynamic Balanced Lacing for efficiency, control and comfort.
- PowerCore: oversized 86mm bottom bracket with asymmetric chainstays for drive-side stiffness and stability.
Who it suits
This Liv road racing bike is for women who want to race at the sharp end, in crits, road races and stage races, on a frame built around them from the start.
If your riding is long, gentle miles, an endurance bike will treat you better. For anyone chasing results, the white Liv bike in Null White is made for the front of the race.
