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

This is a first ride review score and may change as I spend more time on the bike

Highs
  • Composed suspension feel gives bags of confidence

  • Impressively lightweight build

  • Range-topping spec, as you’d expect for the price

Lows
  • Specced with a seatpost that’s just too short

  • Short reach

  • This model isn’t available in all territories
