Liv has updated the women-specific Devote gravel bike family with a racier geometry, a flip-chip dropout and integrated down-tube storage.<\/p>\n

The Giant sister company says the changes increase versatility, reflecting the diversity of modern gravel riding<\/a>, while sharpening the top-end models\u2019 race edge.<\/p>\n

The second-generation Devote range runs from the entry-level alloy Devote (\u00a31,299\/\u20ac1,550\/AU$1,899) to the top-of-the range Devote Advanced Pro (\u00a35,599\/$6,500\/\u20ac6,499\/AU$8,299), a carbon gravel race bike<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Liv says most models and sizes will be available in October.<\/p>\n

Liv has tweaked the geometry of its women\u2019s gravel bike<\/a> across the board.<\/p>\n

Compared to the previous-generation Liv Devote<\/a>, for example, the new Devote Advanced and Advanced Pro have 8mm less stack and 2mm more reach in a size medium in the shorter wheelbase setting.<\/p>\n

The changes put the rider in a more aggressive position while boosting grip, stability and control at speed, according to the brand.<\/p>\n

As seen on the Giant Revolt Advanced Pro 0<\/a>, a flip-chip dropout is a new addition to all Devote models.<\/p>\n

Riders can change wheelbase length by 10mm and rear-wheel tyre clearance by 8mm to suit different trails.<\/p>\n

Liv says you can unscrew the flip chip from the rear dropout using a 5mm hex wrench.<\/p>\n

Switching to the short position speeds up handling and enables tyre clearance of 45mm, according to Liv.<\/p>\n

The long position slows down handling, providing more stability and ups tyre clearance to 53mm.<\/p>\n

All Devote models are available in sizes XS, S, M and L, apart from the Devote Advanced Pro, which only comes in XS, S and M.<\/p>\n
