2022 Liv Langma Advanced SL Disc DA

Overview

About this bike

ALREADY FAVORED BY CLIMBING ADDICTS AND WORLD TOUR RACERS, THE ALL-NEW LANGMA ADVANCED SL DISC IS REDESIGNED TO BE LIGHTER, STIFFER, AND READY TO THROW DOWN ON RACE DAY. KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS Featherweight efficiency The heart of the Langma is an ultra-light Advanced SL-Grade Composite frameset—which we've rebuilt with longer, more continuous pieces of carbon fiber for a stiffer bike that's 60 grams lighter.* So you get a responsive ride that accelerates immediately, skims over rough roads and surges up climbs. And a translucent frame coating shows off this carbon construction, making the Langma look as fast as it feels. *Compared to the first-generation Langma Advanced SL frameset Intuitive handling We've re-engineered the Langma fork for 50% more lateral stiffness,* for precise handling and responsiveness. An oversized headset and all-new Liv Contact SLR handlebar boost control without sacrificing aerodynamics. Integrated, flat-mount disc brakes deliver stopping confidence in varied conditions. The Langma even accommodates tires up to 32mm for extra grip in the corners and cobbles. *Compared to the first-generation Langma Advanced SL fork Aero advantage Updated truncated ellipse tubing reduces wind drag at a wider range of yaw angles, gaining you precious seconds in flats, descents, and headwinds. Our relentless testing and refinement have also inspired the development of the new fully-carbon Variant SLR seatpost. Plus, the all-new CADEX 36 Disc WheelSystem with side-drag control lets you stash more watts for the sprint finish. HIGHLIGHTS ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE Professional-grade raw carbon material is woven and formed in our own composite factory using our most advanced engineering and construction methods including Continuous Fiber Technology for greater strength and less weight; Carbon Nanotube Technology resin for better impact resistance; and Fusion Process for lighter, stronger frame junctions. TRUNCATED ELLIPSE TUBING New strategically engineered airfoil sections in the frame and fork, developed through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel testing, reduce wind drag at a wider range of yaw angles compared to traditional "teardrop"-shaped tubes VARIANT SLR SEATPOST Using more continuous carbon fibers and titanium bolts, the Langma's first fully-carbon seatpost is lightweight, aero, and easily adjustable. CUTTING-EDGE COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION Longer, more continuous pieces of carbon fiber across frame tubes and junctions means greater stiffness with less weight. And the continuous application of SL-Grade Composite in the chainstays provides a stronger connection from the dropout to the bottom bracket, meaning not only less weight but also more efficient power transfer. SYMMETRIC AERO COMPOSITE FORK Constructed with fully continuous pieces of cut carbon and a higher percentage of Advanced SL-Grade Composite material than any other model, this new fork enhances steering control, precision, and stiffness. Plus, it now features disc-brake integration and increased clearance for tires up to 32mm. LIV CONTACT SLR HANDLEBAR Our all-new carbon handlebar features an aerodynamic design, ergonomic grip and optimized drop and reach that's customized for women's measurements. OVERDRIVE 2 Liv's most advanced steerer tube technology. Designed to offer unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system's oversized headset bearings (1 1/2" lower, 1 1/4" upper) and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness. MEGADRIVE A massive rectangular downtube forms the link between the OverDrive 2 headtube area and the PowerCore bottom bracket. This precisely engineered, rectangular shape yields unprecedented steering and pedaling stiffness while optimizing aerodynamic flow over a standard water bottle. POWERCORE An oversized bottom-bracket/ chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter-wide bottom-bracket design. Symmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the drive-side and stability on the non-drive-side. TUBELESS CADEX 36 DISC WHEELSYSTEM Custom-engineered Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL), reinforced carbon lay-up, high-tensile strength carbon aero spokes, and hookless rim design combine to provide faster acceleration, ultra-efficiency, stability, and control. HOOKLESS RIM The hookless rim design provides better overall durability and it adds inner rim width without adding weight. It also creates a rounder tire shape, providing greater sidewall support when cornering, and superior grip and handling overall. XIRALLIC® OR COLORSTREAM® Frame coating with Xirallic or Colorstream provides a light, thin coating that reveals the carbon fiber construction.

E-SHIFTING CABLE ROUTING Advanced SL-Grade Composite frames features e-shifting only cable routing for a clean look.
