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.

The Liv Cycling Hail is a long travel bike for the ladies with plenty of all mountain intentions. It’s a bike that has been designed from the ground up by Liv using data derived from thousands of women from all over the globe. It offers a reasonable spec and a nimble ride but with some geometry woes that could have been easily avoided. Buyer's guide to hydration packs Review - Morvelo Women's RAD shorts ​ Same spec....

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.
