From the stage race breakaway to the final criterium lap, the EnviLiv is made to be out front. This signature sprinter is designed for optimized aerodynamic performance, greater stiffness-to-weight advantage, and maximum trophies.
In the pursuit of maximum power and efficiency, Liv analyzes how the bike and rider experience airflow at every speed and direction, both on the computer and in the wind tunnel. The EnviLiv features truncated ellipse airfoil tube shapes and the Liv Contact SL handlebar, with flattened tops and deeper drops, for reduced drag, added control, and better overall aero performance.
Aerodynamics are affected by many factors, two of them often seen as mutually exclusive: stiffness and weight. The EnviLiv has found the sweet spot, with a new Advanced-grade composite frame and fork—resulting in 292 grams of weight savings over the previous generation.
When every second matters, so does every detail. Cables are routed through the handlebar, stem, and frame, which improves aero performance and makes it easier to disassemble the bike for travel and maintenance. Two aerodynamic water bottle cages flawlessly integrate with the seat tube and down tube, further reducing drag.
Features:
- Advanced Composite Technology: Liv’s high-performance grade raw carbon material is used to produce this frameset. Using state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing techniques, Liv’s Advanced-Grade Composite frames are designed to offer light weight and stiffness with optimal compliance.
- AeroSystem Shaping Technology: Tubing shapes engineered using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel data to optimize each tube shape for superior aerodynamic performance.
- OverDrive Aero: Found inside the head tube of the EnviLiv range, the D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easier to service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables.
- Vector Seatpost: This full-composite, lightweight and highly aerodynamic seatpost is engineered specifically for performance road riding.
- Tubeless System: Engineered with proprietary Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology, this tubeless ready composite WheelSystem delivers superior efficiency, pinpoint control and comfort.
- PowerCore: A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
