Liv bikes: latest reviews, news and buying advice

Women’s bikes with specifically tailored geometry and handling

Liv is the first of its kind, being a brand specifically geared towards making bikes by women, for women. Founded in 2008, its bikes now range from premium road bikes to aggressive trail machines, and everything in between, catering for female riders across all disciplines.

Liv bucks the trend in an industry that’s traditionally male-dominated. The brand has a significant number of women involved in every stage of the design, development and engineering process. This involves talking to the women that these bikes are made for, and working alongside sponsored athletes.

Liv Bikes range for 2018

Liv bikes cover all areas, with a great range for road cycling, mountain biking, gravel grinding and ’cross racing, to hybrid bikes for commuting and e-bikes for that extra bit of help up the hills.

Liv road bike range for 2018

Liv road bikes range from the Avail endurance model, to the racey Langma and the aero EnviLiv. Time-trialists and triathletes might also want to take advantage of the Avow, which comes with some really funky paint jobs.

Riders looking to get mucky can enjoy the Brava cyclocross model, or the Invite, which is Liv’s answer to the current adoration for gravel.
