Summary
The Liv Intrigue is a trail bike that excels in delivering a confident and playful ride, equally adept at climbing and descending. Its women's-specific design and modern geometry have been praised for enhancing comfort and performance. While it offers great value and thoughtful specifications, some riders may find its limitations in high-speed stability and dropper post travel a drawback.
Delightfully self-assured ride
Modernized geometry
Thoughtful spec choices
Playful and confident descending
Custom tuned suspension for women
Twitchy at high speeds
Short reach isn't for everyone
Undersized dropper post across the Liv lineup
Reaches limits on bigger drops and harsh impacts
For the first time, 'women’s-specific' truly felt like it was an advantage, rather than something we had to work around.
BetaLess travel can translate into more fun!
Enduro Mountainbike MagazineThe confidence this bike gives you is amazing, effortlessly glided across the really rough stuff, I was so impressed with how smooth it was over roots and rocks, literally mowing over everything in its path.

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?
Good-natured, easy handling
Efficient chassis
Good value for money
Twitchy at high speeds
Unnecessarily long seat tube limits freedom of movement downhill

One of the only truly women's-specific frames out there, the Liv Intrigue combines big wheels and moderate travel into a compelling package.
Reasonably priced
Carbon Rims
Equally at home climbing or descending
Highest available build is GX
No XS frame
Short reach isn't for everyone

From the brand that continues to lead the way in women’s mountain biking we were excited to get our hands on their latest model for an exclusive in-depth review and it certainly hasn’t disappointed! The all new Intrigue Advanced Pro 29 has been designed as a fast rolling trail bike which can eat up long climbs and still dominate rough descents. Reviewer // Jackie Coulson Photos // Dominic Hook It’s a bike which debuts several new tech features for Liv, […]

Solid all-rounder without any particular let-downs, and the low frame weight is great for light riders
Super-light frame makes it easy to manoeuvre
Plush rear suspension provides a smooth ride
Few spec compromises
Doesn’t carry speed as well as some
Prone to pedal bob
