The Liv Avail Advanced 0 is the high-performance benchmark for endurance riders who want the speed of electronic shifting and the luxury of carbon wheels without stepping up to the "Pro" price point. While it shares the same geometry and the newly redesigned 2026 frame as the Pro models, the Advanced 0 is optimized for a more balanced ride quality that excels on diverse road surfaces, from fresh tarmac to light gravel.
This bike has a creamy, iridescent champagne finish that looks exceptionally premium, especially with the high-polish chrome logos and black carbon accents. Equipped with the Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed groupset and Giant SLR 2 40 Carbon wheels, this bike is a long-distance specialist designed to keep you fresh and fast through the final miles of a century ride.

Key Technologies
D-Fuse Integration: The "D" shaped carbon seatpost and handlebar are engineered specifically to flex under impact, absorbing road vibration while remaining stiff laterally for efficient pedaling.
AeroLight Cockpit: Features the new semi-internal cable routing through the stem, which cleans up the front of the bike and reduces drag by several watts compared to the 2025 model.
Endurance Geometry: A taller head tube and slightly shorter reach put the rider in a more upright, comfortable position, perfect for "sunrise-to-sunset" rides.
Hookless Carbon Rims: The SLR 2 wheelset provides the aerodynamic benefits of a 40mm carbon rim with the increased durability and wider tire support of a hookless bead.
