The new EnviLiv Advanced SL is the only women’s specific aero bike in the WorldTour. It is aerodynamically optimized using a 3D printed moving female model, “Georgia”.

Key update versus the previous generation is the first-time use of an Integrated Seat Post (ISP) on the EnviLiv platform, reducing weight and improving compliance and vibration damping.

Secondly, aerodynamic performance has been optimized as an integrated system for frame and components, like the new Cadex SLR Aero cockpit, resulting in reduced drag at racing speed.

Finally, comfort has gone up by lowering seat stays allowing wider tyres to be fitted up to 32 mm. Tyres to be fitted on the all-new Cadex Max 50-wheel system.

So, what happened to “Georgia” in the wind tunnel test, considering all the above-mentioned updates? She did well, an 8.62-watt reduction at 40 km/h across yaw angles from −20 to +20 degrees. That would save her 1 minute and 55 seconds over 40 kilometres at 40 km/h. A massive difference when racing on WorldTour level.
