Whether it’s navigating asphalt or venturing through an unpaved short cut, the Avail AR is smooth on flats, spry on climbs and confident on descents.
The Liv Avail AR 2 is the high-versatility "All-Road" edition of Liv's aluminum endurance line. This bike is designed for riders who want to transition seamlessly from smooth tarmac to light gravel or forest paths without needing two separate bikes.
The "AR" designation brings several key upgrades over the standard Avail, most notably the shift to hydraulic disc brakes and increased tire clearance (up to 38mm). For 2026, the Avail AR 2 has been updated with the Shimano Cues 2x10 groupset, replacing the older Tiagra setup. This new system utilizes LinkGlide technology, which is engineered to be significantly more durable and provides a much wider gear range (up to a 39T rear cog) for easier climbing on steep or loose terrain.
