Riders who want Liv race geometry. Compare numbers to TCR if you are size-matching across Giant/Liv.
Liv's race road bike, designed around a women's performance fit rather than a shrunk TCR. It is still a low, racy stack/reach chart.
Racers who like Cannondale's handling and want the serviceable frame. Synapse is the taller sibling; SuperX is the CX/gravel race cousin.
The fourth-generation EVO keeps the third generation's geometry but goes lighter, slipperier, and back to a threaded BSA bottom bracket. Same fit as the 2020–2022 bike, easier to live with.
Aero racers. If you want light and conventional, R5; if you want endurance, Caledonia.
The aero Cervelo: V-stem, deep tubes, and a bike that wants to be ridden fast in a straight line and still corners better than its looks suggest.
Riders who raced or owned 2021–2023 Tarmacs. A common 'this already fits' bike when shopping SL8 twins.
Aero-and-light Tarmac that replaced the Venge brief. Stiffer cockpit, more integration, and a race position that SL8 later refined rather than reinvented.
