Liv Devote Advanced 2 2026: Women's Carbon Gravel Bike with Shimano GRX 2x12

The Liv Devote Advanced 2 2026 (finished in the Lunar Eclipse colorway) is a carbon gravel bicycle engineered specifically around women's anthropometric dimensions to combine speed in gravel racing, control on singletrack, and load carrying capability for multi day bikepacking adventures. Built around an ultralight Advanced Grade composite frame featuring integrated down tube storage and an adjustable Flip Chip rear dropout, this in stock configuration pairs a dedicated 2x12 speed Shimano GRX drivetrain with 45 mm tubeless tires.

Advanced Grade Frame with Flip Chip (up to 53 mm), Internal Storage and Stainless Bearings

The main triangle of the frame is molded as a single continuous piece through Giant's Modified Monocoque Construction process, featuring a redesigned geometry that increases climbing traction and front end stability on fast gravel descents:

• Flip Chip Dropout System (45 mm to 53 mm Tire Clearance): The two position rear dropout hardware allows you to tune frame geometry to match your terrain. In the Short position (425 mm chainstays on sizes XS, S, M and 430 mm on size L), the wheelbase is compact for quick handling and clears tires up to 45 mm; switching to the Long position extends the wheelbase by 10 mm for high speed stability and increases rear tire clearance up to a massive 53 mm actual width.
  
  
• Integrated Down Tube Storage and Bikepacking Mounts: The downtube incorporates a sealed internal storage compartment complete with a dedicated water resistant storage bag for multi tools, spare tubes, or a wind vest, complemented by frame and full carbon fork mounts.
  
  
• AeroLight Internal Cable Routing and FSA Stainless Steel Bearings: Cables run cleanly underneath the Giant Contact AeroLight stem (with a negative 10 degree angle) directly into the headset, which is equipped as standard with upper and lower FSA stainless steel bearings to resist mud, rain, and frequent washing.

D Fuse Ergonomics, Dual Seatpost Compatibility and Shimano GRX 2x12 Drivetrain

Every contact point and mechanical component on the Liv Devote Advanced 2 2026 is selected to reduce rider fatigue over long distances and conquer steep unpaved gradients:

• Contact XR D Fuse Handlebar and Universal ISC Seatpost Clamp: The Giant Contact XR D Fuse handlebar features a comfortable 5 degree back sweep and flared drops for descending leverage. At the rear, the composite Giant D Fuse seatpost (with 14 mm offset) flexes vertically to absorb bumps, while the integrated ISC frame clamp also accepts standard 30.9 mm round or dropper seatposts.
  
  
• Shimano GRX RX 820 / RX 610 2x12 Speed Groupset: The drivetrain pairs upper tier Shimano GRX RX 820 front and rear derailleurs with GRX RX 610 hydraulic shifters. Combining a sub compact 30/46 crankset with a wide 12 speed 11x36 cassette provides tight gear steps on flat roads alongside a super low climbing gear (30x36) for steep loaded gravel climbs.
  
  
• Tubeless Wheelset with 45 mm Tires and 160 mm Rotors: The durable Giant P X2 Disc wheelset with 12 mm thru axles and Sapim spokes comes shod with 700x45c Giant Crosscut Grip tubeless tires and Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm front and rear rotors.

At Novo Cicli (official Giant and Liv dealer), we prepare your bike directly on our workbench prior to delivery:

• Tubeless Preparation and Geometry Setup: We deliver the bike with a complete tubeless setup sealed and ready to ride, the Flip Chip set to your preferred Short or Long position, and full mechanical tuning for in store pickup in Besnate (Varese) or insured international shipping.
