  • All the mounts

  • Tubeless-ready wheels

  • Good tyre clearance

  • Price

Lows
  • Frustrating 8-speed Claris

  • Not blue like the AR 3...

Liv Avail Advanced 1 review

May 2018 · Aoife Glass

A quiet, reliable all-round performer, but not a field leader. Buy if you want a bike that will do a bit of everything

Highs
  • Hydraulic disc brakes give great stopping power and control, top-end carbon frame

Lows
  • For long rides, vibrations through the frame became fatiguing

  • Giant Hydraulic Brake system is an eyesore.
