I originally posted this on the Women's page but have not received any reviews - so reposting here

My bride is in the market for a new Tri Bike and we have come across Liv Bikes

https://www.liv-cycling.com/us/avow-advanced-pro-1


I do not know much about this company - it looks like a subsidiary of Giant - so am reaching out to this forum to see if anyone rides one etc. Any feedback is much appreciated.

It has been discussed already. Maybe that's why no one responded.

It 'is' Giant. Liv simply refers to Giant's women specific line of bikes and saddles

it's a division of Giant.

The front end adjustability is a bit of a mess (I've tried to help a friend with her fit on one). I don't believe that you should limit yourselves to women's bikes. Figure out your fit requirements, and then look at a report of which bikes hit those fit specs. Then choose based on price, color, LBS access, etc, etc. But I really don't think you should feel your wife needs a WSD.

Tks and we are not limiting our search to women's only geometry. But this was one in the list of 5 or so bikes that I was not familiar with. Tks again.
