Designed with women in mind
Lack of dropper post in certain models
Some models may require component upgrades
Brakes can cause hand fatigue on prolonged use
The result is an aggressive trail bike that exuded confidence on the sharp rocks characterizing the trails at Bootleg Canyon, but could still capably conquer the technical, rocky ascents.
BIKE Magazine"We wanted this bike to be up for handling trails like the ones you find in the US enduro series, and super stable, for taking aggressive lines and cornering fast and hard,"Bicycling
A fun, agile bike that’s ripe for upgrading, but great to ride as is

The Liv Intrigue SX promises to be a beefed-up women' trail bike with 140 mm travel in the rear and 160 mm in the front. But does it hold up on the trails?

A fun, agile bike that’s ripe for upgrading, but great to ride as is. Better tyres and a dropper would be nice though! Buy if, You want a quality mountain bike for the money that's fun to ride, performs competitively, will help progress your riding and is a joy to ride
The Maestro suspension system and RockShox suspension makes for a confidence inspiring ride. The Intrigue beats similarly priced competitors on component spec
Wooden tyres don’t give enough traction for wet and rooty British riding. No dropper seatpost or quick release means mid-ride faffing

We test out Giant's specifically designed women's trail bike the Liv Intrigue 2
Versatile, fun, ride-anything bike at a great price.
Lack of dropper post (I know, I’m spoilt!).

The Liv Intrigue SX sports a few key component changes for 2016 such as a single-ring drivetrain, 160-millimeter-travel RockShox Pike RCT3 fork and a RockShox Monarch Plus Debonair shock.

Really nice spec but short reach steep head angle and Giant branded components aren't the best. E.g the dropper.
Really good for the money.
The geometry is very dated.
