Summary

The Liv Intrigue trail bike is celebrated for its women's-specific design, offering a unique blend of agility, plush suspension, and modern geometry that caters to a wide range of riders. Its Maestro suspension platform is noted for being both active and predictable, providing excellent traction and control. While it excels in handling and comfort, some riders may find the reach short and the dropper post length limiting.

Pros
  • Women's-specific design with unique molds

  • Plush and active Maestro suspension platform

  • Modern, progressive geometry

  • Lightweight frame for easy maneuverability

  • Tubeless wheels out of the box

Cons
  • Short reach may not suit all riders

  • Dropper post length issues

  • Prone to pedal bob

  • Weak brakes on some models

Key Quotes

The first thing you notice with this bike is how incredibly light it is.
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
Liv 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.

Liv Intrigue Advanced Pro 1 2021 in review – a well-known bike thoroughly revised

Apr 2021 · Antonia Buckenlei

The Liv Intrigue is an evergreen in Liv’s portfolio. For the coming season, Giant's women-specific sister-brand have thoroughly revised the bike, which now has less travel but bigger 29" wheels. Does the concept also work for petite riders?

Highs
  • Good-natured, easy handling

  • Efficient chassis

  • Good value for money

Lows
  • Twitchy at high speeds

  • Unnecessarily long seat tube limits freedom of movement downhill

Highs
  • Reasonably priced

  • Carbon Rims

  • Equally at home climbing or descending

Lows
  • Highest available build is GX

  • No XS frame

  • Short reach isn't for everyone

  • Few spec compromises

Lows

  • Prone to pedal bob
