The Liv Avail Advanced E+ Elite 2 in Golden Haze is a masterclass in stealth e-road design, specifically tailored for women who want the "analog" look without sacrificing electric capability. The Golden Haze finish is particularly striking—a luminous, shimmering gold that transitions beautifully into exposed carbon accents, making it look more like a piece of high-end jewellery than a bicycle.
Designed as the "Goldilocks" model in the Elite range, the Elite 2 balances high-performance wireless shifting with a lightweight hub-drive system. Weighing in at approximately 13.8kg, it is light enough to ride like a standard endurance bike even when the motor is off, but offers a potent 30Nm of torque to flatten out 15% gradients when you need it.

Key Highlights
The "Invisible" Motor: Because the SyncDrive Move Plus is located in the rear hub, there is no bulky bottom bracket motor. This allows the bike to maintain a slim, elegant silhouette that is nearly indistinguishable from a non-electric Avail.
Wireless Control via SRAM Blips: Liv has cleverly integrated SRAM Blip buttons under the handlebar tape. This means you can increase or decrease your motor support levels by clicking a button near your thumbs, without ever moving your hands from the hoods.
Endurance-Focused Comfort: The D-Fuse system is baked into the DNA of this bike. Both the carbon seatpost and the handlebars are designed to flex slightly under road impact, reducing rider fatigue over long distances.
Natural Power Delivery: The system is tuned for a "natural ride" feel. The motor doesn't lunge forward; it builds power as you do, making it feel like you just have the strongest legs of your life.
