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!).
