Summary

The Liv Hail is a women-specific enduro bike designed for aggressive riding, featuring 160mm of travel and Maestro suspension for smooth performance. It excels in downhill speed and technical terrain, with a geometry that balances climbing efficiency and descending stability. While it's praised for its handling and suspension, some riders may find it heavy or less agile compared to other models.

Pros
  • 160mm of travel for aggressive riding

  • Maestro suspension system for smooth performance

  • Women-specific geometry for balanced riding

  • Stable and confident on technical terrain

  • Top-level parts choices for high performance

Cons
  • Heavier than some competitors

  • May require adjustments for optimal climbing performance

  • Stock components like handlebars and dropper post may not suit all riders

Key Quotes
The Hail isn’t a bike that sits around wondering what it wants to be when it grows up. It’s slack. It’s beefy. And it wants to go downhill as fast as humanly possible.

Tested: Liv Hail 1

Jun 2017

We love the Liv Hail. It’s a kick ass bike for kick ass women. It recognises that girls also want to have fun and is designed specifically for that. It’s an aggressive, 160mm travel bike and the one of the only female bike of its class that isn’t simply a gender neutral frame re-painted and …

Highs
  • A seriously capable Enduro bike for women.

  • Excellent geometry and suspension.

  • Great value for money.

Lows
  • Rims are a little soft.

  • Tyres don't suit rocky conditions.

  • No rear shock compression adjustment.
