The Liv Langma Advanced 2 - Pro Compact is the essential performance road bike for women looking to conquer climbs and improve their personal bests. As part of the 10th-generation overhaul, this 2026 model benefits from the same aerodynamic "truncated ellipse" tube shaping found on the top-tier racing models, but in a package that prioritizes mechanical reliability and easy maintenance.
Built with the Shimano 105 12-speed mechanical groupset, it offers the perfect balance of lightweight performance and durable, tactile shifting. For 2026, even this tier of the Langma includes the Contact AeroLight cockpit, which hides the hydraulic hoses beneath the stem for a significantly cleaner and more aerodynamic aesthetic.

Key Technologies
QOM-Level Efficiency: The 2026 frameset has been lightened and stiffened, utilizing a modified monocoque construction that makes the front triangle more responsive during explosive attacks.
Contact AeroLight Integration: This system routes cables through the headset and under the stem, providing a 12.5-watt aerodynamic advantage over the previous generation without complicating handlebar adjustments.
Variant Seatpost: The D-shaped carbon seatpost is specifically tuned for female riders to balance rigidity for sprinting with enough compliance to smooth out rough roads.
OverDrive Steerer: An oversized fork steerer tube provides massive front-end stiffness, allowing for pinpoint accuracy when descending technical switchbacks.
