Product news: With the new Liv Intrigue Advanced, Liv Cycling would like to offer modern female bikers maximum performance on any terrain. The all-mountain trail bike comes with an advanced composite frame, an aggressive trail geometry and 150/140 mm travel. In addition to the Enduro Hail and the AM cross country bike, the Intrigue Advanced rounds off Pique Liv's off-road category.
The Intrigue Advanced, like all Liv bikes, was developed using Liv's 3F design philosophy, which is based on thousands of data points about women's anatomy. During development, the prototypes were coordinated with feedback from Pro-Enduro rider Rae Morrison, among other things. The result is a modern 27,5" all-mountain trail bike that is said to be both climbing and downhill-friendly. The chassis, based on Maestro suspension technology, has 140 mm of rear travel and, in combination with the FOX suspension fork, 150 mm of travel at the front. The handcrafted bikes feature a carbon frame with an updated Advanced Forged Composite rocker link for increased strength and lightness. The rear triangle is made of AluXX SL aluminum.
The longer top tube and the shorter stem should enable the rider to adopt an agile and efficient riding style. The slack head angle of 66,5 degrees promises good downhill performance, while the steeper seat tube angle of 74,5 degrees should increase climbing ability. Liv's new all-mountain trail bike is available in two versions. The Intrigue Advanced 2 comes with SRAM NX Eagle 1×12 gears, FOX Rhythm 34 Float suspension fork and FOX Performance Float DPS damper. The Intrigue Advanced 2 is completed with SRAM Guide T 4-piston brakes. The Intrigue Advanced 1 model has a SRAM NGX Eagle 12×36 drivetrain, FOX Performance Elite 2 Float suspension fork, FOX Performance Float DPX4 damper and SRAM Guide RS 1-piston brakes. Both equipment variants are available in four frame sizes.
