Reducing the fork travel to 130mm was easy and effective on climbs. The test trails didn’t offer the kind of steep and sustained climb I so often ride at home in Calderdale, and I didn’t find a use for the SRAM Eagle dinner plate gearing. Heading out of the car park and onto the trails, I found that rock steps ups were much easier than I’ve previously found them, with steppy rocky climbs that I would usually have found myself pushing up being something I could actually conquer.This bike has been designed with input from Liv ambassadors Lindsey Voreis and Leigh Donovan. Hail Advanced 0 Liv Hail Advanced 0 - 2018 $8,415.00. Availability: Please select options. Lindsey enjoys technical climbs as much as she does the descents, and was adamant the bike should be fun to ride up as well as down. There’s no fluff, no (or at least minimal) pink, no shaking out of flowing hair, just two riders flying down a trail in a manner that would make any viewer wish they could be half as good – and wondering if that bike might just get them there.First up, the dropper bugged me. Liv Hail Advanced 0 Bike: Model Year: 2018 Riding Type: Enduro / All-Mountain Rider: Women Sizes and Geometry: XS, S, M, L View Geometry.
Brand: Liv, Product: Hail Advanced 0. This may not suit some, but for me it’s a price I’m willing to pay as I really enjoyed being able to pedal up and through technical climbs without ratcheting.Designed from scratch rather than tweaking the existing Reign, the Advanced 0 combines the latest components with geometry designed to specifically work with the strengths of a woman’s body. It would be good to see whether this is just a pain to clean, or whether performance is compromised in muddy conditions.The carbon composite Trunnion mount is fitted to all the bikes in the Hail range, including the alloy bikes, meaning that the geometry on the alloy versions is not compromised by having to accommodate a different shock attachment or weight distribution.To get you up those climbs, the Advanced 0 comes with SRAM Eagle drivetrain, while SRAM Guide brakes will slow you on the descents, The Guide brakes come fitted with a tools-free reach adjustment dial that quickly and easily adjusts the reach on the levers, ensuring that even the smallest of fingered riders can ride while covering the brakes with just one finger.The resulting video is worthy of viewing, because watching it you would never think ‘that’s women riding women’s bikes’.
Built to come alive at high speeds for enduro-style and aggressive riding — Liv's Hail Advanced 0 takes you to a whole new level. Color: Matte Red/Dark Blue. Size: Large. This has contributed to the Hail having a 1-degree steeper head angle compare to the Giant Reign, to ensure the bike is controlled and stable on rocky climbs, and doesn’t wander.
But a great video.The Liv launch in Sedona, Arizona, gave me a chance to test out the bike on dry, rocky terrain, with a selection of rocky technical features. It can be purchased online and then picked up at the store location you desire. Shipping options Pick up in Store Find a store near you. The Advanced 1 takes the components down a touch, while the Aluxx SL 1 and 2 repeat the geometry but in an alloy frame. Especially on rough climbs, I also found I had to lower my dropper in order to be able to get up onto the saddle and going again from a standstill. Instead you’d think ‘that’s kick ass riders riding super capable bikes’.
