2026 Liv Avail AR 3 - Female specific All-Road bike - Lunar Eclipse

Season:2026

Brand:Liv

Code:9017036

The Liv Avail AR 3 (2026) offers many of the endurance benefits of the Liv Avail AR line but with a more accessible spec, tailored for riders who want reliability, comfort, and value. It shares the ALUXX aluminium frame, Advanced-grade composite fork, OverDrive steerer, and the same 38c tyre clearance potential that allows you to stray from smooth roads confidently. While its drivetrain and braking may be simpler, the ride feel remains stable, comfortable, and forgiving thanks to features like the D-Fuse seatpost and women-specific endurance geometry.

This model is especially smart for riders who plan long rides, occasional gravel, or want a dependable bike for commuting that won’t shy away from poor road surfaces. With attention to ride comfort, good fit, and the essential performance where it counts, the Avail AR 3 delivers a capable platform that stretches your riding possibilities without overreaching your budget.

Key Features & Specs

  • Frame: ALUXX-grade aluminium, 12×142 mm thru-axle, disc brake compatible.

  • Fork: Advanced-grade composite, OverDrive steerer, 12×100 mm front thru-axle.

  • Tyre Clearance: Runs ~32c spec tyres; clearance for up to ~38c.

  • Drivetrain: Shimano CUES 2×9 in many markets; simpler gearing but adequate for mixed-surface use.

  • Brakes: Mechanical disc brakes (Tektro MD-C550 or similar) in many versions; effective though not as premium as hydraulic on higher AR models.

  • Comfort features: D-Fuse seatpost, Liv Connect handlebars, endurance geometry designed for longer rides & reduced fatigue.

Professional Opinion
  • ALUXX Aluminium
    This Performance level frame material features 6061 alloy with single-butted tubes to produce strong, lightweight framesets for a variety of different bikes and riding styles.
  • Compact Road
    When introduced by Giant in 1990s, Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit.
  • D-Fuse Technology
    The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar were designed to function as a system, absorbing road shocks and vibrations so you can ride farther, faster
  • 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.
