Liv provides model-specific size charts for each of its bikes on its website. For a quick suggestion, refer to the summary charts in this guide or check out Cranky’s Bike Size Guide for adult and kids’ bikes.
Are Liv bikes owned by Giant?
Liv is the sister brand to Giant, manufacturing bicycles designed specifically for female cyclists. Liv shares the same leading technologies and development resources as Giant, but has its own catalog of bikes tuned for women’s fit and riding needs.
Are Liv bikes just for female cyclists?
While other large bike brands produce unisex models for all riders, Liv was founded on the principle that there should be bikes designed around the unique ergonomic needs of women. While there’s no hard and fast rule as to who can ride them, Liv bikes feature women's-specific frame geometry in accommodating size ranges.
Understanding Liv's model naming
The way Liv names its bikes offers helpful clues about components and frame material at a glance. Most Liv models are available in a few different versions, letting you narrow in on the perfect bike. Liv generally follows its sister brand’s (Giant) naming conventions that you may already be familiar with.
Frame material: “Advanced” means the frame is made from carbon fiber. Additional designations like Pro and SL (Super Light) refer to higher quality carbon— SL is the most premium option.
Special designations: Suffixes like X, SX, and EX are added to model versions with “X-tra” capabilities. AR (All Road) models come with wider volume tires and disc brakes while LT refers to long-travel models.
Other standard labels will specify specific upgrades such as 29” wheels or disc brakes on certain models. The E+ label always indicates an electric bike.
How Liv bikes are priced
There are Liv bikes at all price points, so you can find the right model to fit your budget. The most affordable bikes cost less than $1,000, ideal for entry-level riders looking for excellent value. Liv’s mid-tier bikes cost between $1,500 and $3,000 and feature higher-quality components.
