Aero road2027Fourth-generation EnviLiv (2026) ↗Disc brakes

The EnviLiv Advanced is the entry grade of Liv's fourth-generation women's aero race bike. It uses the same Advanced-grade frame as the Advanced Pro, with the EnviLiv's aero tube shapes, Vector aero seatpost and 32 mm tyre clearance, but pairs it with an Advanced-grade fork (413 g against 355 g) and a two-piece Contact SL Aero bar and stem. Builds run from Ultegra Di2 down to mechanical 105, with 50 mm carbon wheels on all but the cheapest, and none has a power meter.

Our verdict

Overall

out of 100, average of 6 categories

The cheapest way onto the new EnviLiv: the Advanced Pro's frame and tube shapes with a two-piece bar and stem that is easier to change. You give up the fork grade and the one-piece cockpit, no build has a power meter, Liv publishes no drag figure for this grade and the 105 build rides on alloy wheels.

Good to know

  • Aerodynamics

    Liv's 8.62 W total-resistance claim is published for the Advanced SL only; the Advanced shares the frame's tube shapes but Liv gives no separate drag figure for it. In Liv's parts comparison its cockpit weighs 535 g, wheels 1,690 g and tyres 626 g, against 283 g, 1,380 g and 440 g on the Advanced Pro.

    Source

  • Fit

    The Vector aero seatpost offers -5/+15 mm offset. Each size ships with one bar width and stem length (340/360 mm hoods/drops and 80 mm on XXS up to 390/420 mm and 110 mm on L), but the two-piece cockpit lets the stem be swapped separately from the bar.

    Source

  • Compatibility

    Liv's product pages don't state UCI approval for the Advanced-grade frame, so uci_legal is left open.

    Source

  • History

    Liv launched the fourth-generation EnviLiv in March 2026 in three series, Advanced SL, Advanced Pro and Advanced.

    Source

  • Versions

    In Liv's comparison the Advanced frame weighs the same 885 g as the Advanced Pro's, but its Advanced-grade fork is 413 g against 355 g, for a 1,643 g frameset with seatpost and hardware, 200 g more than the Advanced SL. Liv measured 14% less frame pedalling stiffness, 10% less torsional stiffness and 6.8% less fork stiffness than the Advanced SL.

    Source

  • Versions

    Builds differ by market: Liv UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Ireland sell the Advanced 0, 1 and 2; Liv USA lists only the Advanced 1 and 2.
