COLD-BLADE CUTTING TECHNOLOGY ADVANCED SL x x x x x ADVANCED x x

ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE

Professional Grade raw carbon fiber is woven in our composite factory to produce our lightest, stiffest and highest quality frames. This is the technology used by Liv’s pro racers in almost every cycling discipline. These frames feature the most advanced engineering and construction methods.

1.MATERIALS: Professional Grade raw carbon material is used to engineer framesets with the highest stiffness-toweight ratios available today.

2.RESIN: Professional Formula resin features Carbon Nanotube Technology (CNT), a microscopic polymer that acts like miniature buttresses to strengthen the layers of composite. Frames featuring CNT are 14% more impact resistant than those without it.

3.ONE-PIECE MOLDING TECHNOLOGY: New construction technique uses a single bladder (as opposed to previous generation’s three bladders) to create a one-piece front triangle. The result is reduced weight without compromising stiffness or aerodynamic shaping.

4.CONTINUOUS FIBER TECHNOLOGY: This manufacturing process allows Liv to construct the front triangle of Advanced SL frames with larger, and therefore fewer, sections of composite material. With fewer pieces and junctions, these frames are lighter and significantly stronger.*

5.COLD-BLADE CUTTING TECHNOLOGY: Whereas previous generations of Langma frames relied on laser-cut composite swatches, cold blade technology is now used to make ultra-precise cuts and eliminate the concern of deformation from excess heat. This translates into fewer (270) and more exacting swatches, which results in lighter overall frame weight.

MATERIALS

High Performance Grade raw carbon fiber is used to produce custom composite material in our composite factory. Extremely lightweight, stiff and compliant, these handcrafted frames feature the following materials and processes.

High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to engineer framesets with optimal stiffness-toweight ratios.

2. RESIN

The resin used in Advanced Composite provides a high level of void minimization (fewer bubbles) while maintaining outstanding strength characteristics. Vibration-absorbing particles are also added to help disperse shocks and vibrations.

3. MODIFIED MONOCOQUE

The front triangle (down tube, head tube, top tube, seat tube) is assembled in three sections, then molded as one continuous piece. This front half is joined to the rear chainstays and seatstays in a secondary process. This eliminates the outermost woven composite sheet to reduce weight without compromising ride quality, strength or stiffness.

LIV CONTACT SLR & SL HANDLEBARS

Liv Contact SLR & SL handlebars offer updated geometry, reduced weight, and integrated cable routing for maximum efficiency in any riding scenario.

1.CONTROL & SUPPORT

A narrower position at the hoods boost aerodynamics, keeping the rider in a more streamlined position. An 8-degree or 11-degree flare at the drops provides enhanced stability during sprints, attacks, and descents. Subtle raised outer areas on the tops provide added support and a stable hand position for more comfort when riding on the hoods. Tested in the wind tunnel, this new flare handlebar offers a significant gain, providing an 8-watt difference compared to a non-flared handlebar design.

2.LIGHTWEIGHT OPTIONS

The Liv Contact SLR handlebar, made from carbon, offers reduced weight with no compromise on stiffness or durability. For those preferring alloy, the Liv Contact SL handlebar provides similar performance benefits while offering a more budgetfriendly option.

3.INTEGRATED CABLE ROUTING

When paired with Contact AeroLight and Aero stems, the Liv Contact SLR and SL handlebars offer a fully integrated cable routing solution. An enlarged rearward port simplifies cable set up and spacer adjustment, ensuring quick and hassle-free customization. Contact SLR

Langma Range TESTING RESULTS

Introducing the 3rd generation Langma range. With cutting-edge frame designs and innovative construction techniques, these are the most powerful Langma bikes yet. Dive into our testing methodology and discover the impressive results in weight, stiffness, efficiency, and aerodynamics.

langma range testing results WEIGHT COMPARISON

While it might seem straightforward, the weight of a frameset can be quite subjective. It all hinges on what parts are considered part of the frameset. Liv defines a frameset as follows:

• Size medium, painted and decaled production frame

• Painted production fork (uncut)

• Seatpost with internal seatpost clamp or ISP with clamp/hardware

• Front and rear derailleur hanger/clamps

• Expander, top cap, headset and spacers

• All production hardware (water bottle bolts, etc.)

In conclusion, the new third-generation Langma Advanced SL frameset is 123.03g lighter than the previous generation, making it the lightest Langma to date.

While not shown in the chart, it’s important to note that the Langma Advanced Pro and Langma Advanced framesets have also achieved weight reductions, with the Langma Advanced Pro frameset being 44g lighter and the Langma Advanced frameset 75g lighter than their predecessors.

langma range testing results STIFFNESS COMPARISON

Stiffness was assessed using industry-standard protocols with size medium framesets. Liv tested both pedaling and torsional stiffness with the corresponding fork in place. This provides a far more accurate measure of how a bicycle will perform in real-world conditions and helps ensure that our testing procedures translate into performance gains that can be felt on the road.

Our testing determined how much the complete frameset flexed torsionally under load, with each frame locked at the rear dropouts and lateral force applied to the fork. Higher frame stiffness means better cornering and response to rider input.

Despite being significantly lighter, the all-new Langma Advanced SL offers a 2.50% increase in pedaling stiffness and a 6.75% increase in torsional stiffness over the previous generation.

Most of the gains in stiffness come from modified sections of the head tube, down tube, and bottom bracket area. The increased frame stiffness results in better power transmission, allowing the rider to reach and maintain higher speeds with less effort.

EFFICIENCY COMPARISON

By improving stiffness and decreasing weight, the new Langma Advanced SL significantly boosts its overall efficiency (stiffness-to-weight ratio). These advancements translate into a more responsive and agile ride, allowing riders to experience quicker acceleration, better handling, and sustained speeds with less effort. Whether climbing steep hills or sprinting on flat roads, the enhanced stiffness-to-weight ratio ensures that every pedal stroke is effectively converted into forward momentum, providing a competitive edge and a superior riding experience.

langma range testing results AERODYNAMICS COMPARISON

At Liv, we’re always looking for ways to help you ride faster and smoother. Our latest Langma takes aerodynamic performance to the next level, building on the innovations of its predecessor.

The previous generation Langma introduced a more aerodynamic frameset with new truncated ellipse tubing in key areas. This time, we’ve taken it even further. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and extensive wind-tunnel testing, we developed new airfoil sections that lower drag more effectively across a wider range of angles compared to traditional teardrop-shaped frames.

We made significant aerodynamic improvements to the down tube, seat post, and fork. And that’s not all—the redesigned Liv Contact SLR flared handlebar and the new CADEX Max 40 WheelSystem also contribute, resulting in a total gain of 12.57 watts over the previous 2021 Langma Advanced SL 0.

To ensure optimal performance in real-world conditions, we designed the aerodynamic flow around the down tube with standard

22-ounce water bottles. All these refinements were meticulously tested at the GST wind tunnel in Immenstaad, Germany.

For the most accurate results, we used a dynamic mannequin that replicates realworld riding conditions, unlike the static mannequins often used by other brands. This approach gives a true picture of how the Langma performs when you’re out on the road, pedaling hard.

Our testing involved wind speeds of 24 mph (40 kph) in a controlled environment, with yaw angles ranging from -20 to +20 degrees. With the dynamic mannequin, spinning wheels, and a moving drivetrain, we achieved the most precise aerodynamic analysis possible. This helped us perfect the new Langma frameset and fine-tune the entire system, including the OverDrive Aero steerer tube and cockpit components.

The result? A bike that cuts through the wind, giving you the competitive edge you deserve.
