The Liv Devote Advanced 2 is a performance-oriented carbon gravel bike tailored specifically for women. For 2026, it represents a significant leap forward in integrated design, featuring an Advanced-grade composite frame that is both lighter and more compliant than previous generations. A standout addition for this year is the integrated down tube storage, which provides a sleek, internal solution for carrying tools, tubes, and nutrition, removing the need for cluttered frame bags.
Versatility remains at the heart of the Devote through its Flip Chip dropout system. This allows you to adjust the wheelbase and tire clearance: choose the "Short" position for snappy, responsive handling during gravel races, or the "Long" position for increased stability on technical descents and clearance for tires up to 53mm. Combined with Liv’s D-Fuse technology in the handlebars and seatpost—which flexes to absorb road and trail chatter—the Devote Advanced 2 is built to keep you comfortable and in control during everything from high-intensity events to multi-day bikepacking trips.
