Summary

The Liv Pique trail bike is praised for its efficient pedaling, excellent rear-wheel traction, and light, maneuverable design, making it a strong contender in the crossover between all-mountain and cross-country categories. However, it faces criticism for its shallow seatpost insertion depth and less confidence-inspiring performance in high-speed descending. The bike's suspension, particularly in models with the Fox Live Valve system, is highlighted for its adaptability and efficiency across various terrains.

Pros
  • Efficient pedaling similar to XC siblings

  • Excellent rear-wheel traction

  • Light and easy to maneuver

  • High-end suspension systems (Fox Live Valve, Maestro)

  • Women-specific features and sizing

Cons
  • Shallow seatpost insertion depth limits dropper post options

  • Not as confident in high-speed descending

  • High bottom bracket affects cornering stability

  • Requires smart line choice and proper handling

Key Quotes
The Liv Pique SX 1 is a bike that is built to push the limits of XC, and with a few tweaks it could be a great contender in that crossover category.

The Fox Live Valve system and top-of-the-line components deliver the most perfectly tuned suspension and fastest XC bike I have ever ridden.
Bicycling
The Liv Pique is a plush, comfortable and confidence-inspiring bike that will give you the faith to pedal over pretty much anything, both up and down the trail.

Liv Pique SX 2 review

May 2018 · Anna Cipullo

A good all-round full-suspension bike that is fun on flowing terrain and plush over rough ground, both up and down. Buy if you want to confidently and comfortably ride over everything in your path

Highs
  • High bottom bracket allows you to pedal over most anything, good spec and weight for the price

Lows
  • High bottom bracket and position creates an uncertain balance point when cornering fast and on steeper descents
