Liv Embolden Pale Moss - Medium

The Liv Embolden is an intuitive, confidence-inspiring full-suspension trail bike developed specifically using insights from women riders. Built with a lightweight ALUXX-grade aluminum frame, it features Liv's single-pivot FlexPoint rear suspension system delivering 130mm of rear travel paired with a 140mm front fork. Designed for versatile progression from flowy forest tracks to technical singletrack, the Embolden utilizes a size-specific wheel strategy (mixed 29"/27.5" on XS and S; dual 29" on M and L) alongside a durable 10-speed Shimano CUES Linkglide drivetrain and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes.
