avail advanced sl INTRODUCING THE LIGHTEST ROAD BIKE IN Liv/giant’s LINEUP. SMOOTH, EXQUISITELY FAST and MADE JUST FOR YOU. The all-new Avail Advanced SL is engineered for the ultimate ride. Designed with Liv/giant’s 3F philosophy, it’s the most advanced composite bike built specifically for women. The frame, handcrafted with Advanced SL-grade composite, has a specially shaped integrated seatpost that increases frame compliance to minimise rider fatigue. Other features include the OverDrive 2 steerer tube technology, which gives it razor-sharp handling and steering, plus the MegaDrive downtube, PowerCore bottom bracket and RideSense ANT+ sensor for wireless data transmission.

technology 1 OverDrive 2
Giant’s innovative oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to offer unprecedented frontend steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness.
2 Integrated Seatpost
As the pioneer of the integrated seatpost, Giant continues to improve its original design with lighter weight (approximately 45 grams of weight savings, compared to a standard composite seatpost), improved aerodynamics and an even greater “tuned” forgiving ride feel. An adjustable saddle clamp offers -5 to +25mm of offset for precise saddle position.
3 fusion Process
Advanced SL toptubes are “grafted” to the seattube using filament winding and co-moulding. This complex process involves hand weaving the two
tubes together, then re-moulding the area under heat and high pressure to unify the junction - resulting in a lighter, stronger junction than with traditional moulding.
4 CNT Technology
6 RideSense
Giant’s all-new chainstay integrated, wireless data transmitter. The fully integrated, removable transmitter sends wheelspeed and cadence information directly to any ANT+ compatible computer.
Carbon Nanotube Technology refers to a microscopic polymer added to Giant’s custom-blended resin. Acting like miniature buttresses, CNT particles strengthen the layers of composite. Frames treated with CNT are 14 percent more impact-resistant than those that aren’t.
7 Liv/giant 3f Geometry
5 megadrive
Frame features unique internal cable porting to allow for sleak, non-cluttered appearance and performance.
A massive rectangular downtube and oversized toptube work in unison to provide superior front-end lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped downtube yields unprecedented pedalling stiffness.
To accommodate the specific geometry needs of the female rider, 3F geometry features shorter toptubes and slightly taller headtubes.
