Liv Embolden 1: first ride review - MBR

Aug 2021 · Michelle Arthurs-Brennan

Liv Embolden 1 is an entry-level full-sussser with 27.5in wheels and 120mm travel via a single-pivot linkage design with flex stays and 130mm RockShox fork.

Highs
  • Capable full-suspension trail bike at a great price point, offering everything you need to get started, including versatile tyres and a reliable dropper post.

Lows
  • Clunky shifting does match the price point but you may find yourself wanting to upgrade early on.
