Liv Mountain Bikes
The folks at Giant know a thing or two about how to build a mountain bike. As the largest bike maker on the planet, Giant has helped fuel the development of off-road riding in the last decade by introducing innovative technologies such as tapered head tubes and their efficient Maestro suspension platform. While many companies have sought to cater to female riders by building women-specific models of their existing lineup, Giant has created their very own sub-brand Liv, in which Giant technology meets the wants and needs of female cyclists thanks to a full range of women-specific bikes, equipment and accessories.
Liv’s message is one of optimism and fun. The brand embodies these values in the quality bikes they build. Liv mountain bikes feature the brand’s 3F design philosophy — Fit, Form, Function — to provide cyclists with a bike that encourages exploration and feels natural on the trail. Liv mountain bikes cover a wide range of niche applications, from hard-tail cross-country race bikes to full-suspension trail bikes ready for anything in their way. 27.5” wheels are standard on nearly all Liv mountain bikes thanks to their lighter weight, greater efficiency and improved control compared to their 29” counterparts.
For Beginners and Advanced Riders
Browse BikeExchange to find an excellent selection of Liv mountain bikes suitable for beginning riders and advanced athletes alike. Liv’s comprehensive line represents a first in the mountain bike industry. Let’s take a closer look at a few of the Liv models you can find on BikeExchange:
- Liv Tempt Bikes: Leading the way to new adventures and off-road fun, the Tempt hard tail is a complete package at a great value. It features a Giant ALUXX butted aluminum frame with low stand-over height and front suspension to take the bite out of rougher trails. All Tempt models come with a full Shimano drivetrain, with entry-level Tempts sporting a 3x8 setup and more racy 2x10 Deore XT transmission available on the Tempt 1.
- Liv Intrigue Bikes: For female rippers who want a trail bike that won’t sacrifice pedaling efficiency, there is the Intrigue. With a full 140mm of patented Maestro suspension and the availability of both RockShox and Fox front suspension, the Intrigue will take you there. The Intrigue features trigger shifters for snapping off smooth gear changes and powerful hydraulic disc brakes in case things get a little too intriguing.
- Liv Lust Bikes: Nicely situated between its Tempt and Intrigue sisters, the Liv Lust is everything an adaptable full-suspension XC bike should be. An ALUXX SL-grade aluminum frame delivers lightning-quick response, and bob-resistant Maestro suspension doesn’t sap power to the 27.5” wheels. Handling is positive and responsive thanks to a light but stiff 15mm front axle, and you get a trail-proven Shimano transmission and brake set.
