Gear Technologies & Features
Liv’s EasyRide Tubeless (ERT) technology is an easy solution for Sport-level riders who ride occasionally for light fitness or go on weekend adventures and are seeking the advantages of tubeless tire without the expensive upgrade or mess. A special integrated liner creates air chamber that functions similar to a tube so it is easier to pump up your tires—think, more user-friendly, value-oriented and safety than performance and speed.
Liv Rebound is optimal density foam with incredibly high elasticity and super light weight that provides long-lasting support.
The Mips® BPS (Brain Protection System) is designed to add protection in helmets against the rotational motion. The rotational motion is a combination of rotational energy (angular velocity) and rotational forces (from angular acceleration) that both affects the brain and increases the risk for minor and severe brain injuries. Mips® BPS has been scientifically proven to reduce rotational motion when implemented in a helmet by absorbing and redirecting rotational energies and forces transferred to the brain.
Mips Air Node™ is a super light and slim helmet security system that moves 10-15 mm in relation to the helmet’s energy-absorbing layer, reducing the rotational forces that are otherwise transmitted to the brain during impact. Fully integrated into the helmet’s padding, Mips Air Node™ is as light as possible and designed to fit each individual helmet model and size, making it virtually invisible until needed.
Magnetic Fidlock® helmet buckles are intuitive, pinch-free and can be opened or closed with one hand, even while wearing gloves.
A tailor-made feel is now achievable through Particle Flow Technology, which are free-flowing particles are inserted into two separate pockets within the saddle structure. The particles mold to the rider’s unique pelvic contact condition, reducing pressure points by more than 20 percent and distributing pressure across a broader contact area. The result is optimal performance through superior comfort and support.
PROCOMFOR™ chamois is designed and constructed by CUORE to give elite racers and serious riders a tailor-made fit.
