“The Liv Avail Advanced Pro 2 is a beautiful, women-specific endurance bike that combines great value with comfort for long days on the saddle”
The Avail is Liv’s endurance road bike, mirroring the Giant Defy, however deigned with women’s specific geometry. Road.cc editor Suvi Loponen tested the Avail Advanced Pro, writing a rave review with very few negatives. Overall, she awarded the Endurance bike a 9 out of 10.
Although the Avail is primarily designed for long days out in the saddle, Lopenen discovered that it could also handle quick-paced short rides. She expressed, “On the road, the Avail is both comfortable and stable, and although it's definitely best suited for endurance riding, it never felt like it was slowing me down, even on those shorter rides where you're pushing the pace higher with pals.”
Loponen had some great things to say about her experience with the Avail. She found the frame to be perfectly balanced regarding stiffness while riding.
Additionally, she mentioned how impressively the Avail responds when it comes to power transfer. According to her “It's reactive, and delivers all you could want in terms of power transfer, turning whatever effort I put out into propelling the bike forward effectively.”
The Avail is an excellent option that caters to the needs of most female riders. Its versatility makes it perfect for endurance riding, short trips, challenging in races, and commuting! “With its relaxed geometry, wide gear range, quite chunky semi-slick tyres and mudguard mounts, it's a very suitable choice for everyday riders.”
Loponen emphasizes how well the Avail can perform in all-weather conditions by writing, “The tyres feel very grippy in all conditions, and even though I did my best to avoid riding in the rain, the wet tarmac felt as good as the dry with these tyres”.
The road.cc editor summarises her experience riding the Avail, outlining the significance of Liv's women-specific geometry in enhancing ride comfort. She writes, “There are a lot of bikes in this endurance road bike segment, but one thing that Liv offers over the others is the women-focused geometry and components. It works for me – I found this bike very comfortable, as has been the case for all of the Liv bikes I've ever ridden.”
