Their ambition is to create women\u2019s bikes that look better, fit better and ride better.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong> Liv bikes available <\/strong><\/u> &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/bikes\/liv\/road-bikes\/gravel-bike\"> Liv gravel bike <\/a><\/li>\n<li>Mountain bikes<\/li>\n<li>Road bikes<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/bikes\/hybrid-bikes\/female\"> Women&#8217;s Hybrid Commuter bikes <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/bikes\/liv\/electric-bikes\"> Liv Electric Bikes &amp; Liv Electric Mountain Bikes <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To this end Liv went to great lengths \u2013 literally \u2013 by measuring the key differences in men and women\u2019s vital stats in nine different countries. As well as the most obvious data &#8211; arm, leg, and torso length &#8211; Liv measured upper and lower body power output to compile their Global Body Dimension Database.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s lower centre of gravity.<\/p>\n<p>The insights Liv have gleaned from their Global Body Dimension Database inform the design of every one of their bicycles. Naturally, a Liv\u2019s frame geometry will vary depending on the style of the bike. However, a couple of key principles are constant.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A Liv bike\u2019s 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.<\/li>\n<li>The comparatively higher front end offers more upper body support.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Built by Giants<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to actually building their bikes, Liv have another ace to play. Every Liv bicycle is manufactured by Giant. Being the world\u2019s biggest bicycle manufacturer, Giant\u2019s economies of scale help guarantee that a Liv will most likely be the best women\u2019s bike at that price.<\/p>\n<p>Just as important, Giant are the only company that builds every bike frame every step of the way from its raw ingredients &#8211; the aluminium ore or the carbon filament \u2013 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/bikes\/giant\/onsale\">Giant bikes sale UK<\/a> running.<\/p>\n<p>Combining Liv\u2019s research and design with Giant\u2019s production muscle goes a long way to creating some of the best made, best fitting and best value for money bicycles available today.<\/p>\n<p><strong> To find out if a Liv is the bike for you, pop into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/our-shops\"> one of our shops <\/a> and ask to take one out for a quick spin.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Liv Road Bike Highlights<\/h2>\n<h3>Liv Avail
