Liv Avow Advanced SL
From Kona to Nice to Roth, the women’s triathlon field is growing—and with it, the need for speed.
Building on its legacy as the world’s first-ever triathlon bike designed specifically for women, the all-new Avow Advanced SL is engineered for split-crushing performance. The new frameset is lighter and more efficient for noticeable speed gains, while integrated disc brakes deliver greater stopping power without compromising aerodynamics.
With increased adjustability for a precise fit and leg-saving efficiency, the Avow Advanced SL is built to perform across every stage of your race. Start strong with one of the fastest, lightest and most aerodynamic triathlon bikes available for women—and make it your bike and your race.
Key Performance Factors
Your Fastest Bike Split
Everything about the Advanced SL carbon frameset has been optimised to shave seconds. The sleek, integrated hydration reservoir and bento box keep fuel within easy reach, while the new frameset is 433g lighter without compromising stiffness or aerodynamics.
The result is 10% greater overall efficiency, helping you conserve valuable energy for the run.
Your Optimised Fit
Dial in every aspect of your riding position with four seatpost offset positions across a 51mm range and 24x more armrest positioning options. Stack, reach, angle and width can all be adjusted using a simple, travel-friendly two-bolt mechanism.
Set it up for the demands of your course—more comfort for a full-distance Ironman or a more streamlined position for TT racing.
You're in Control
Integrated disc brakes deliver greater stopping power without compromising aerodynamic efficiency. Specially shaped fork profiles help shield the brakes from the wind, while enhanced seatpost and armrest compliance help you settle into a comfortable, confident position for everything from a 20km TT to a 180km Ironman bike leg.
