Designed for speed and efficiency, the Enviliv offers optimal aerodynamics and a weight-to-stiffness ratio to energize the race.

Always driven by the desire to enable as many women as possible to cycle, Liv unveils the new Enviliv series, including the first-ever Enviliv Advanced SL frame, the new Enviliv Advanced Pro, and the new Enviliv Advanced 1.
Designed to win, the Enviliv is made for road, triathlon, and mass-start events. It also offers optimal aerodynamics and a high-performance stiffness-to-weight ratio. The new Enviliv will debut on the World Tour in 2023 with Liv Racing TeqFind and Team Jayco AlUla and will also be used by Liv triathlete Lisa Tertsch.
“Designed with feedback from our athletes, our intention is to give women a bike that matches the efforts they put into training and their race goals,” explains Meg Hung, Liv Global Bicycle Category Manager.
“The Enviliv has been redesigned for cyclists who seek performance and want to beat personal records, ride at the front of the peloton, and have all the assets to get there. From aerodynamics to lightweight components.”
Optimized Aerodynamics
The latest AeroSystem Shaping technology has been applied to the EnviLiv series to improve aerodynamic performance, regardless of yaw angle, thanks to data extracted from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) research and wind tunnel tests. The result? Every tube shape and angle is optimized to reduce drag and weight, especially at the front of the bike where aerodynamics are most important. Leaving nothing to chance, all Enviliv bikes in the series are equipped with aerodynamic bottle cages that are integrated into the down tube and seat tube.
The Enviliv Advanced Pro and Advanced 1 feature the new Contact SLR or SL Aero cockpit; their truncated ellipse shape of the aerodynamic tubes produces exceptional overall aerodynamic performance. Furthermore, equipped with Giant SLR 50 wheels, the Enviliv Advanced Pro improves its aerodynamic drag by 9.21 watts compared to the previous generation. This is equivalent to a gain of 40 seconds over a distance of 40 km ridden at 40 km/h.
Sprint Efficiency
For its third generation, the new series includes for the first time an Enviliv Advanced SL frame made of high-end Advanced SL composite. Liv’s high-performance carbon fibers are woven in the composite factory using the most advanced design and manufacturing methods, including unidirectional composite fiber technology which strengthens the material while lightening it; nanotechnology composite resin to improve impact resistance; and the fusion assembly process for lighter and stronger frame junctions.
Significant weight gains have been made on the Enviliv Advanced Pro (205 g) and the Enviliv Advanced 1 (292 g) by significantly reducing the shape and weight of all frame tubes.
“Liv didn’t hesitate to reinvent the Enviliv, I can’t wait to ride it this season,” enthuses Lisa Tertsch, Liv Racing triathlete. “From aerodynamic advancements to the addition of new technologies, this bike was made to chase podiums.”
Seamless Integration
To achieve a more practical cabling system, the OverDrive Aero head tube and spacers have been designed to guide the brake and derailleur cables from the handlebar into the stem and from the head tube into the frame. This not only impacts the aesthetic by giving the frame a clean look but also allows for easier maintenance compared to fully integrated stem designs.
Designed for Women
Liv is the only cycling brand entirely dedicated to women. 100% of its resources, thought, and commitment are dedicated to designing bikes and equipment that enhance women’s cycling experience. Liv creates new opportunities for women who ride bikes.
To offer the ideal geometry adapted to most women, all sizes in the EnviLiv series are designed using women’s body dimensions and their cycling feedback. Liv engineers work in collaboration with Lisa Tertsch, Liv Racing Collective triathlete, but also in the wind tunnel, testing prototypes, and, in addition, collecting feedback from the Liv Racing TeqFind and Jayco AlUla teams. Recently, Liv collaborated with its partners to select the components that best complement each frame size according to its use, to ensure as perfect a fit as possible from the first use.
Models sold in France:
– Enviliv Advanced SL Frameset: €3800
– Enviliv Advanced Pro: €6500
– Enviliv Advanced 1: €4700
