Technology & Features
Advanced Composite Technology
Liv’s high-performance grade raw carbon material is used to produce this frameset in Liv's own composite factory. Using advanced materials and manufacturing techniques, Liv’s Advanced-Grade Composite frames are designed to offer low weight and stiffness with optimal compliance.
D-Fuse Seatpost
The proprietary D-shaped composite seatpost is designed to damp vibration, resulting in a smooth and compliant ride.
Compact Road Design
Originally introduced by Giant in the 1990s, Compact Road geometry helped revolutionise the look and feel of high-performance road bikes. The downward-sloping top tube creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer frame while making it easier for riders of different sizes to achieve an optimal fit.
OverDrive
Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, OverDrive fork steerer technology uses oversized headset bearings and a tapered steerer tube to provide optimal steering stiffness and control.
Tubeless System
Engineered with Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology, the tubeless-ready WheelSystem is designed to deliver efficient power transfer, precise control and improved comfort.
