GROUP RIDES OR SOLO SESSIONS, CENTURIES OR TRIATHLONS - AVAIL GIVES YOU THE CONFIDENCE TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. The lightweight and comfortable ride quality of Avail comes courtesy of its premium aluminium frame, designed specifically for women riders with Liv/giant’s 3F philosophy. Its road-taming technologies include the distinctive OverDrive steerer tube, which is oversized for improved handling and slightly taller for optimised endurance positioning.

technology 1 OverDrive

Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide solid front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

2 PowerCore

A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimetre-wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.

3 FluidForm

Raw ALUXX SL tubesets are further refined through a complex series of processes that provide strength (extrusion), weight reduction (butting) and shape (forming). Two key Giant technologies - FluidForming and press forming work together to eliminate gussets, improve stiffness and minimise any extra weight.

4 ALUXX SL Aluminium

Formed from raw materials in Giant’s own forging facility, this proprietary alloy features 30 percent additional stiffness over traditional 6061-series aluminium. The increased stiffness allows engineers to use less material throughout the tubes, which results in lighter frames that never sacrifice strength or durability.

5 Liv/giant 3f Geometry

To accommodate the specific geometry needs of the female rider, 3F geometry features shorter toptubes and slightly taller headtubes.
