“Liv puts women first in everything we do. We continue to elevate our support of Liv Racing teams as a critical aspect of our brand’s mission to create more opportunities for women in professional cycling,” said Brook Hopper, Liv global marketing manager.  “Liv athletes not only help inform our product development, they are true role models whose performances inspire other women and girls to pursue their own cycling dreams.”

“Winning the overall (EWS) title was a pinnacle achievement in my career and having the unconditional support of Liv allows me to continue to push and reach my goals,” said Leonie Picton, Liv Racing enduro athlete and overall EWS Masters winner. “I’m proud to represent a company that works to make our sport better for women and also supports us unconditionally as we work towards accomplishing our goals”

Liv infuses every decision with its first hand experience as women who ride and invests 100% of its resources, focus and commitment into engineering bikes and gear that optimize the ride experience for women. Liv applies prototype testing by professional athletes to achieve the ideal geometry for a specific height range and the intended ride – this translates to better fit, improved handling and less fatigue for the rider.

Liv Racing also supports women’s professional road racing at the highest level and extended its title sponsorship of the Liv Racing WorldTeam for at least three more years after the 2021 race season and is also the sponsor of the white jersey in the 2022 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
