Lightweight and advanced carbon fiber construction
Female-specific geometry for better fit and comfort
Smooth ride with effective vibration absorption
Reliable disc brakes for excellent stopping power
Versatile for both endurance and spirited riding
Slight compromise in comfort over long distances
Not the most aggressive racing position
The Avail Advanced Pro succeeds in inspiring rider confidence, which is what Liv ultimately aims for in this line.
Canadian Cycling MagazineI found the Avail ticked all my boxes for speed, responsiveness and stability, whilst lacking slightly in comfort.
BikeRadarTake the long way home, and the Avail’s smooth ride will certainly make it easy.

Take the long way home, and the Avail’s smooth ride will certainly make it easy. A long 1,016-millimeter wheelbase and 420-millimeter chainstays add

A capable bike with confident handling, impressive acceleration, but a little lacking in comfort for long distances. Buy if you want a fast bike that climbs well, corners efficiently, and is stable on long descents
Handles competently and precisely, and accelerates like a caffeinated road-runner
Less comfortable on the hands over long distances
Slightly under-geared

A lot of this has been achieved at a grass-roots level:
