LIV – The Sister Brand of Giant: For Women in Cycling
Founded in 2008 by Bonnie Tu, Liv emerged from the desire to inspire more women to take up cycling. When she couldn’t find suitable cycling gear for herself, it became clear that there was a gap in the market. The fit and functionality of conventional products didn’t meet the needs of many women. Thus, Liv was born – a brand specializing in the female body and its unique requirements in cycling.
