The 2026 Liv Devote 1 in Dune Beige is a highly capable and versatile gravel bike designed specifically around women’s sizing and biomechanics. The "Dune Beige" finish provides an earthy, understated aesthetic that fits perfectly with the off-road, adventure-ready nature of this model.
Built around a durable, lightweight ALUXX-grade aluminum frame and an Advanced-grade composite (carbon) fork, the Devote 1 strikes an excellent balance between snappy acceleration and vibration-damping comfort. For this iteration, Liv has equipped the bike with Shimano’s ultra-durable CUES 2x10-speed groupset and features a highly adaptable "Flip Chip" rear dropout, making it equally at home on fast dirt roads, daily commutes, or loaded bikepacking trips.

Key Highlights
Shimano CUES Drivetrain: Replacing older groupsets like Tiagra, Shimano’s new CUES ecosystem is built around their LinkGlide technology. It is specifically engineered to be incredibly durable, providing smooth shifting under load and offering up to three times the wear resistance of standard drivetrains. The 46/32T up front paired with an 11-39T cassette gives a fantastic climbing gear for steep gravel.
Flip Chip Dropout System: This allows you to easily adjust the bike's geometry. In the "Short" position, the bike handles quicker and fits up to a 45mm tire. Flipped to the "Long" position, you gain high-speed stability and increase the maximum tire clearance to a massive 53mm.
D-Fuse Technology: Both the handlebar and the seatpost feature Liv/Giant's proprietary D-shaped "D-Fuse" profile. This shape flexes slightly to absorb road chatter and trail impacts, significantly reducing rider fatigue on rougher terrain.
Women's-Specific Geometry: Liv doesn't just "shrink and pink" men's bikes; they build their frames from the ground up using women's dimensional data, ensuring a better reach, stack, and overall centre of gravity for female riders.
