Liv, the sister brand to Giant, has an extensive range of women's bikes covering everything from endurance road and time-trial specific bikes through to race-ready cross-country mountain bikes and dutch-style commuter bikes. The brand has made some significant updates for 2017 and we'll be testing key models from across the whole range soon, so keep your eyes peeled for reviews on BikeRadar Women.

Liv is a brand that firmly believes that women benefit from bikes with a specifically designed geometry, rather than taking a unisex frame and using female-specific contact points such as saddles, handlebars, etc.

The foundation for this view is data taken from a large global body database (a record with a huge amount of information that includes data on body dimensions, which can be compared between genders). Liv feels that there are significant enough physical differences between male and female riders to warrant a bespoke approach to bike design. Its products are also developed with significant rider feedback and input from the various pro riders, coaches and ambassadors it works with.

Here we take a look at Liv's 2017 range of road bikes.
