The Avail Advanced Pro 0 is a brand new women’s specific endurance road bike from Liv - not to be mistaken for an out and out race bike. It has been designed to offer sublime comfort with a high performance feel and is fitted with high spec kit and some well thought out, women specific features; this bike packs a lot into one package. In Liv’s own words this bike has been “designed for performance and built without compromise”.

Although the tendency for many is to steer more towards aggressive, racing style road bikes, the endurance road bike is much more suited to the needs of the everyday road cyclist not looking to compete at high levels. These machines offer more relaxed geometries but with the same impressive ride quality as their racing counterparts.
