Featherlight Carbon Agility Meets Confident Flat-Bar Speed

Crush your personal fitness goals, power through daily commutes, and explore beyond paved roads without sacrificing upright comfort. The Liv Thrive Advanced 2 blends the blistering efficiency and climbing snap of an Advanced-Grade Composite carbon road frame with the wide-open visibility, stability, and control of a flat handlebar setup. Outfitted with a simple and durable Shimano CUES 1x10 drivetrain, all-weather Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, vibration-damping D-Fuse technology, and plush 40c tubeless tires, it delivers an ultra-smooth, fast, and versatile ride across tarmac, chip-seal, and gravel paths alike.

The Best Bits

  • Advanced-Grade Composite Frame & Fork: Full carbon construction delivers an exceptionally light, responsive ride feel while naturally filtering out high-frequency road vibrations
  • Confident Flat-Bar Cockpit: Delivers road-bike speed paired with an upright, head-up riding position that opens up your field of view in traffic and takes tension off your neck, shoulders, and lower back
  • Simplified Shimano CUES 1x10 Drivetrain: Wide-range, clutch-equipped gearing provides smooth, dependable gear shifts and chain security with intuitive single-shifter simplicity on flats and steep climbs
  • Tektro Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Deliver crisp, modulated one-finger stopping power and dependable braking control in wet, gritty, or dry conditions
  • Road-Smoothing D-Fuse Seatpost: Proprietary D-shaped composite post flexes subtly under load to take the sting out of cracks, bumps, and rough paths before they reach the saddle
  • High-Volume Maxxis Re-Fuse 700x40c Tires: Wide, tubeless-ready rubber provides plush rolling comfort, exceptional puncture defense, and confident cornering grip on asphalt, rail trails, and hardpack gravel
  • Liv ErgoContact Grips: Ergonomically shaped to support the palms and align wrists naturally, minimizing hand fatigue and numbness on long weekend rides

Overdrive

Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road, 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
