In our pursuit of maximum power and efficiency, we analyse how the bike and rider experience airflow at every speed and direction, both on the computer and in the wind tunnel. The new EnviLiv features truncated ellipse airfoil tube shapes and the Liv Contact SL handlebar, with flattened tops and deeper drops, for reduced drag and added control, and better overall aero performance.
Aerodynamics are affected by many factors, two of them often seen as mutually exclusive: stiffness and weight. But 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. So we developed a way to route cables through the handlebar, stem, and frame, which improves aero performance, and also makes it easier to disassemble your bike for travel and maintenance. Two aerodynamic water bottle cages flawlessly integrate with the seat tube and down tube, further reducing drag.
