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

  • Carbon Rims

  • Equally at home climbing or descending

Lows
  • Highest available build is GX

  • No XS frame

  • Short reach isn't for everyone

In fact, the women’s-brand just released its first-ever 29er last year, the Pique XC bike. But Liv furthered its commitment to big wheels this week with the release of its…
