Liv has announced the release of its new Devote Advanced SL gravel bike, launched alongside the Giant Revolt Advanced SL, with both bikes sporting a new lighter construction, new aerodynamic focus, and revised race-focused geometry. Like the Revolt, Liv's new women's gravel bike gets new Cadex gravel wheels and tyres also launched today, contributing to a complete bike thats Livs fastest ever drop-bar off-roader. The Devote Advanced SL was developed with input from Liv Racing Collective privateers Tessa Neefjes and Melisa Rollins, who compete at the highest level of gravel racing. Melisa Rollins and Tessa Neefjes testing out prototypes of the Devote Advanced SL. Liv Cycling According to Ludi Scholz, Liv's gravel and off-road category manager: Tessa and Melisas direct feedback informed the bikes handling characteristics, efficiency targets, tire optimisation and overall race performance priorities. The demands of the sport are higher than ever, and riders are asking more from their equipment. The new Devote Advanced SL reflects that shift. Its our fastest, lightest, and most race-focused gravel platform yet, developed alongside the athletes pushing the sport forward. "It changes what's possible in every race situation" new Giant Revolt Advanced SL is 'lightest and fastest gravel bike ever' Cadex's new Max CXR gravel wheels weigh only 1,320g and are paired with 'aero' tyres Lightened with improved aero A lower front end and a longer reach. Liv Cycling For the first time, the Devote has been made using the Advanced SL carbon construction methods of parent company Giant. That means the same in-house woven carbon and nanotech resins as used on Giant and Livs WorldTour-level bikes. The Devote shares the same Cadex GXR wheel/tyre system as used on the new Giant Revolt Advanced SL 0. Similarly, Liv claims the redesigned frameset combined with the wheels makes for a 25% improvement in the ratio of pedalling stiffness to weight. There's also a 38.5% improvement in handling stiffness to weight. The Devote Advanced SL 0 weighs 4,223g, including the frameset, Cadex Max GXR wheels, Liv Contact SLR XR Integrated Handlebar and Cadex GXR 45mm race tyres. That's 297g lighter than Liv's previous flagship Devote Advanced Pro, despite its wider 45mm race tyres. Tyre clearance is up to 53mm on the Devote Advanced SL. Liv Cycling The aerodynamic improvements are a result of using the Liv/Giant AeroSystem shaping for the frame tubes, fork and cockpit the same design protocols as seen on bikes such as the pro-tour proven EnviLiv and Giant Propel. Liv says its own wind-tunnel testing against the Devote Advanced Pro confirms total system savings of 20.03 watts using rider positions matched to the intended geometry and riding style of each platform. The Devote Advanced Pro has a more upright all-road gravel position, while the Devote Advanced SL has a new race-focused riding position developed around a lower stack, longer reach and a more aggressive front-end setup. Riding to Georgia Liv's Georgia mannequin was used to develop the new Devote Advanced SL. Liv Cycling Liv has also developed 'Georgia', a next-generation wind-tunnel mannequin created using the body dimensions of Liv AlUla Jayco athlete Georgia Baker for reference. The modular 3D-printed mannequin has realistic torso shaping and dynamic adjustability to the ride position. Liv says this more accurately reflects how women sustain speed across rough terrain and over long gravel race distances. Liv says this means that through its testing process it has been able to optimise rider efficiency across realistic gravel race positions and conditions. Race-optimised geometry The new Devote Advanced SL 0 is Liv's purest gravel race bike to date. Liv Cycling Unlike the Devote Advanced Pro, the new SL has new race-ready geometry in the form of lower stack, longer reach, and both a steeper head angle and shorter trail. The longer front-centre brings a much more aggressive ride position and more precise steering. Liv says the new design is optimised around 45mm gravel tyres, yet has clearance for up to 53mm widths, which provides the best balance of rolling speed, grip, and handling on unpredictable terrain.
