Liv Intrigue 1 2020 on test – A trail bike by women for women

Oct 2020 · Antonia Buckenlei

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.

Highs
  • Good-natured, intuitive handling

  • Very agile

  • Good all-rounder

Lows
  • Low insertion depth of the seat post

  • Weak brakes

  • Rear-heavy riding position with a conventional saddle setup

Mar 2019 · Aoife Glass

Super fun, confident and versatile — not quite perfect, but it comes tantalisingly close

Highs
  • Burly enough for techy terrain yet efficient and playful on flatter trails

  • Superb suspension balance

Lows
  • Taller riders may feel cramped with the 432mm reach

  • For a bike this capable, a 100mm dropper just isn’t long enough
