The Cannondale is being sold for $2800 CAD while the Liv is being sold for $2400 CAD. Both are in near new condition, both have ultegra components and the Liv recently had a new tire + shifter cables & chain replaced. I guess the only difference between the two is that the Cannondale comes with carbon wheels and the Liv comes with aluminum wheels. These are the only two newish carbon bikes with hydraulic brakes in my area in my size (48cm) so that’s why I picked them. I’m an all year round rider and plan to cover some climbs. I’m curious to know what other people think. Thanks!

My vote is for the SSEvo. Having had one myself and now currently riding a TCR, the SSEvo just performs better all-round. The Langma will be great on climbs and will feel snappy and responsive on the flats but it doesn’t hold the wind the same way the SSEvo does. You’ll be doing more work to hold speeds the same way.
If your legs are short in comparison to your torso then the female specific Liv will probably be more comfortable and easier to ride, the stand over height is significantly different on these two frames, geometry geeks is a great site where you can compare bikes with exact frame sizes, the wheels on the Liv seem to be just ok, if the SSEvo fits I think that is definitely the better bike
