The new Liv Intrigue LT is the women\u2019s-specific brand\u2019s longest-travel trail bike, with 150mm of rear-suspension travel and 160mm on the front.<\/p>\n

Two models will be available at launch \u2013 the Intrigue LT 1 and the Intrigue LT 2. Both trail bikes<\/a> feature an aluminium frame in sizes XS to L.<\/p>\n

The two smallest sizes are only available in a mullet<\/a> configuration. Larger sizes are able to utilise a flip chip to run mullet or 29er<\/a> configurations \u2013 though all stock builds are specced with 29in wheels.<\/p>\n

Giant\u2019s Maestro 3 flip chip alters the bike\u2019s geometry.<\/p>\n

The head tube angle, seat tube angle and bottom bracket height all change through the low, medium and high settings.<\/p>\n

Through the settings, the head tube angle changes on average by 0.4 degrees. In the slackest \u2018low\u2019 option, it ranges from 64.6 degrees to 64.8 degrees across the size range.<\/p>\n

Like many bikes of its ilk, the Intrigue LT includes a storage chamber in its down tube.<\/span><\/figcaption> Liv<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The frame features an integrated storage system, as is popular on many mountain bikes<\/a> in this category.<\/p>\n

Liv says a water-resistant bag is provided to keep your snacks and essential tools dry. It\u2019s also likely this will help dampen the sound of objects bouncing around inside the frame.<\/p>\n

The suspension has been custom-tuned for women on both bikes for optimal performance, according to Liv.<\/p>\n
