Summary
The Liv Intrigue is a versatile trail bike praised for its balanced geometry, highly tunable suspension, and confident yet playful handling. It excels in a variety of conditions, from technical climbs to fast descents, though some reviewers noted it lacks the stiffness for the most aggressive riding. The bike's women-specific design and range of sizes have been highlighted as strengths, alongside its modern aesthetics and practical features like integrated mudguards.
Balanced geometry and highly tunable suspension
Confident yet playful handling
Women-specific design with a range of sizes
Modern aesthetics and practical features
Lacks stiffness for the most aggressive riding
Short travel dropper post and weak brakes in some models
Some components may not meet expectations for the price
The Intrigue Advanced 0 certainly makes a strong case for women’s specific frames.
BIKE MagazineThe Liv Intrigue is an extremely fun, capable bike.
BikeRadarLiv and GIANT really know how to tune their rear ends. That’s also the case with the Intrigue, which feels sensitive and supportive at the same time.
Enduro Mountainbike MagazineA good looking women’s specific bike, and it’s not pink or purple!

Does the World really need women’s specific mountain bikes? It’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves at least once and one that can be answered in a million different ways. Liv is a brand by women for women, which is why we were even more tempted by the Intrigue and to see how it performs on the trail.
Good-natured, intuitive handling
Very agile
Good all-rounder
Low insertion depth of the seat post
Weak brakes
Rear-heavy riding position with a conventional saddle setup

This is a first ride review score and may change as I spend more time on the bike
Composed suspension feel gives bags of confidence
Impressively lightweight build
Range-topping spec, as you’d expect for the price
Specced with a seatpost that’s just too short
Short reach
This model isn’t available in all territories

For women who are just getting into mountain biking and want a confidence inspiring bike, the Liv Intrigue could be the bike for you.
