Liv DEVOTE ADVANCED SL 2 - Women Carbon Gravel Bike - 2027 - Misty Aloe

Gravel racing is getting faster and faster—and that goes for the top female athletes in the race, too.

The Devote Advanced SL was designed to respond when the pace explodes and the field breaks apart. Developed with direct feedback from pro riders, it offers efficiency over long distances, control at race pace, and uncompromising performance. From long solo breaks to tactical maneuvers in the pack to sprint finishes: This platform was built for riders who are chasing the podium and leave nothing but a trail of dust behind them on the course.

MAINTAIN SPEED | The new frame and fork made from Advanced SL Composite bring the highest-quality carbon construction to the Devote series. They respond instantly to your pedaling and remain highly efficient even deep into the race. When the terrain gets looser on descents and maximum control is required, the redesigned OverDrive System ensures razor-sharp steering precision. At the same time, the D-Fuse seatpost provides targeted compliance to reduce fatigue without compromising power transfer.

MAINTAIN MOMENTUM | Aerodynamic tube shapes, integrated cable routing, wheel integration, and tire selection were developed together as a complete racing system so you lose less energy on rough, open, and fast terrain. Reduced drag, lower rolling resistance, and improved stability help you maintain momentum as the pace continues to pick up and headwinds sap your strength. Wind tunnel tests with Liv’s “Georgia” dummy confirm the aerodynamic performance under realistic conditions for female riders and improve efficiency during solo attacks, quick position changes in the peloton, and the length of rides riding into the wind.

STAYING ON COURSE | The race-oriented geometry positions you lower, further forward, and more centrally over the bicycle—for an efficient riding position at high speeds and on unpredictable terrain. A longer front-center length and a longer wheelbase improve stability without compromising direct steering response. At the same time, a steeper steering angle and shorter trail ensure more precise front-end handling—even in wide-open corners and under demanding race conditions. Optimized for modern 45-mm gravel race tires and with tire clearance up to 53 mm, the bicycle offers the ideal balance of rolling speed, grip, and control—from fast, firm gravel sections to rough, technical terrain.

Features of the Liv DEVOTE ADVANCED SL 2 - Women’s carbon gravel bike

• Advanced SL Composite—At the Giant Group’s composite factory, high-quality raw carbon is woven and used for the entire frame and fork using state-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques. Continuous-fiber technology increases stiffness while minimizing overall weight.
• Aerodynamic Design—Advanced aero tube shapes are used throughout the frame set, fork, and cockpit to minimize air turbulence and reduce drag at gravel racing speeds of 30–45 km/h. Each profile is optimized as part of the overall system, not in isolation.
• OverDrive—The redesigned, oversized headset bearings and the all-composite OverDrive steerer tube provide greater frontal and lateral stiffness to the fork, resulting in more precise steering and safer handling at race speeds.
• LIV Contact SLR XR Integrated Handlebar – A one-piece aero cockpit with a weight of just 295 grams provides an improved aerodynamic profile. It features fully integrated cable routing for SRAM AXS and Shimano Di2, as well as ergonomic geometry optimized for all riding positions.
• D-FUSE Seatpost — The proprietary D-shaped composite seatpost dampens vibrations and absorbs road shocks, resulting in a smooth, comfortable ride.
• CADEX GXR Tires - Specifically designed for high-intensity gravel races, featuring a fast-rolling center tread, redesigned shoulder lugs, and a streamlined casing to improve aerodynamics, reduce rolling resistance, and provide secure grip on varied terrain. Rolling resistance is 3.03 watts lower per bike compared to the CADEX GX 40-mm tires.
• Tire Clearance - Optimized for modern 45-mm gravel tires, with clearance for tires up to 53 mm, the bike delivers improved off-road performance on rough gravel terrain at high speeds.
