To this end Liv went to great lengths – literally – by measuring the key differences in men and women’s vital stats in nine different countries. As well as the most obvious data – arm, leg, and torso length – Liv measured upper and lower body power output to compile their Global Body Dimension Database.
This data made it clear that most women would benefit from riding a bike that takes account of these differences. In particular, gains could be made if the bike was designed around a women’s lower centre of gravity.
The insights Liv have gleaned from their Global Body Dimension Database inform the design of every one of their bicycles. Naturally, a Liv’s frame geometry will vary depending on the style of the bike. However, a couple of key principles are constant.
- A Liv bike’s low centre of gravity helps create an engaging ride where the bike works like an extension of the body so it rewards your every effort.
- The comparatively higher front end offers more upper body support.
Built by Giants
When it comes to actually building their bikes, Liv have another ace to play. Every Liv bicycle is manufactured by Giant. Being the world’s biggest bicycle manufacturer, Giant’s economies of scale help guarantee that a Liv will most likely be the best women’s bike at that price.
Just as important, Giant are the only company that builds every bike frame every step of the way from its raw ingredients – the aluminium ore or the carbon filament – to its final lacquer. Such control over every process is your ultimate guarantee of consistent quality control, and a bike that feels and rides just right. There is currently a Giant bikes sale UK running.

From Liv cycling:
“Meet Liv.
She is the most confident woman in the room because she supports those around her rather than tearing them down. She empowers belief in self!
She doesn’t need to compromise her authenticity by trying to live up to the standards of beauty magazines and curated social lives — she knows who she is and that’s enough.
She never boasts or brags, over promises or over sells. There is just an inherent optimism in how she sees the world.
She is driven and is fulfilled by the joy of riding with her friends or just appreciating the simple pleasure of breathing in and out. She lives her life on her own terms, pursues her passions and appreciates the moments on her bike. She is free-spirited, willing to take risks and is quick to laugh.
She simply loves to ride. She is Liv.”
