The Liv Alight Disc 2 in Frost Silver is the quintessential "do-it-all" fitness and commuting partner for women. Part of Giant’s sister brand, Liv, this bike is built using their 3F Design Philosophy (Fit, Form, Function), meaning the geometry is engineered specifically for women’s body proportions rather than just being a smaller version of a men’s bike.
For the 2026 season, the Alight Disc 2 has received a massive internal upgrade: it has moved to the Shimano CUES 2x9 drivetrain. This shift to LinkGlide technology is a major win for durability, offering smoother shifting and a drivetrain that lasts up to three times longer than previous generations. The Frost Silver finish is a cool, metallic arctic tone that looks exceptionally clean and modern.

Key Performance Features
D-Fuse Technology: The D-shaped alloy seatpost isn't just for looks; it's designed to flex slightly under load, filtering out the "buzz" from cracked pavement or gravel paths before it reaches your back.
Shimano CUES Reliability: By using the CUES 2x9 system, this bike handles "panic shifts" under load much better than older systems. It's designed to be intuitive and robust, making it perfect for riders who don't want to spend every weekend adjusting their gears.
Safety First: The Frost Silver paint is paired with reflective stickers for 360-degree visibility, and the 700x38c tires feature a built-in puncture protection layer to keep your commute stress-free.
Versatility: Though this part number is for the standard Alight Disc 2, the frame is fully compatible with Direct Mount KSA 18mm kickstands and has dedicated bosses for a front basket or rear pannier rack.
