Built for racers obsessed with speed performance and control the new Pique Advanced SL is engineered to deliver. Components are designed to work seamlessly together as one optimized system. The 120mm single-pivot FlexPoint Pro rear suspension is now semi-integrated with your top tube for a lighter more efficient ride. And the flip chip lets you adjust your geometry for the course ahead and the fire inside. Key Performance Factors Built for speed The new Advanced SL-grade composite frame is the lightest we’ve ever designed achieving exceptional stiffness-to-weight so every pedal stroke returns power almost effortlessly for swift and decisive acceleration and climbing. Tuned specifically for XC racing the reengineered FlexPoint Pro Suspension is lighter more compact and more responsive. Built for performance The Pique Advanced SL is designed as a single optimized system. The new one-piece handlebar-stem with fully integrated cable routing keeps things light clean and responsive. Giant WheelSystems with Wide Guard rims give you robust sidewalls so you can run lower tire pressure for extra grip and puncture protection. Built for results The updated FlexPoint Pro suspension system offers 120mm of smooth active rear-wheel travel paired with a 120mm fork giving you the control and stability you need when things get technical. The two-position flip chip lets you adjust your geometry for the perfect handling for the course. And the suspension lock-out provides hardtail-like efficiency when you’re climbing a hill or a podium. FlexPoint Pro Suspension Technology Developed as a superlight rear suspension setup for XC bikes that demand efficiency control and responsive handling FlexPoint Pro is a linkage-driven single-pivot system that delivers 115mm of rear-wheel travel. It’s engineered with a full-composite swingarm that significantly reduces overall frame weight. Advanced SL Composite Technology Liv’s Professional Grade raw carbon material is woven in our own composite factory using our most advanced engineering and construction methods including: Continuous Fiber Technology to add strength while reducing weight; Carbon Nanotube Technology resin to improve impact resistance; and Fusion Process for lighter stronger frame junctions. OverDrive Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance this fork steerer tube technology uses 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. Advanced Forged Composite Technology A state-of-the-art high-pressure moulding process is used to produce complex-shaped carbon fibre components that are lighter stiffer and stronger than similar aluminium components. MegaDrive A massive rectangular downtube and oversized toptube work in unison to provide superior front end lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered rectangular shaped downtube yields unprecedented steering and pedaling stiffness. Tubeless System Engineered with proprietary Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology this tubeless ready composite WheelSystem delivers superior efficiency pinpoint control and comfort. PowerCore A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated 86-millimeter wide bottom-bracket design 92-millimeterwide for off-road bikes. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.

Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight but in reality weight can vary based on size finish hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
