Embolden
The Embolden is built for riders who want to spend more time riding and less time worrying about their bike. Developed using insights from women riders, its geometry and suspension balance stability, control, and efficiency to create a ride that feels intuitive on the trail. With a lightweight aluminum frame, FlexPoint suspension, and modern trail geometry, Embolden builds confidence as riders move from forest paths to proper singletrack.
Key Performance Factors
Balanced Handling That Builds Confidence
Embolden’s modern trail geometry creates a balanced, confidence-inspiring ride, while a size-specific wheel strategy ensures every rider gets the handling that works best for them. Mixed wheels on XS and S frames improve maneuverability and fit, while dual 29-inch wheels on M and L roll smoothly over trail obstacles and maintain momentum. A dropper seatpost lets you quickly lower the saddle for descents and technical sections, helping you stay comfortable and in control as the trail gets more exciting.
Reliable Performance, Thoughtfully Designed
The lightweight ALUXX-grade aluminum frame keeps Embolden efficient on climbs and durable for everyday trail adventures. Smart details like a semi-integrated shock design, easy to set up suspension guide on the fork, improved cable routing, and a heavy-duty molded chainstay protector help keep maintenance simple and the bike running quietly. With reliable components and a clean, practical design, Embolden is built to spend more time out on the trail—and less time in the garage.
Smooth Suspension, Simple Setup
FlexPoint rear suspension delivers smooth, predictable control through 130mm of rear-wheel travel, paired with 140mm of front suspension for confident capability on modern trails. The system maintains traction over roots, rocks, and technical terrain while providing a supportive, stable ride feel as trail conditions change.
Highlights
1
ALUXX-GRADE ALUMINUM
2
FLEXPOINT SUSPENSION
FlexPoint suspension uses a simple, durable single-pivot design paired with a rear shock tuned specifically for Embolden to deliver 130mm of rear-wheel travel with supple small-bump sensitivity, supportive mid-stroke control, and consistent traction on the trail.
3
OVERDRIVE
Liv’s oversized OverDrive head tube increases front-end stiffness for more precise steering and confident handling on technical trails.
4
POWERCORE
The wide PowerCore bottom bracket area increases pedaling stiffness for efficient power transfer and a more responsive ride feel.
5
TUBELESS
Tubeless-ready wheels allow riders to run lower tire pressure for improved traction, comfort, and fewer flats, with clearance for tires up to 2.5-inches for added grip and trail capability.
6
UDH COMPATIBLE
Universal Derailleur Hanger compatibility makes derailleur replacements simple and widely available, helping riders get back on the trail faster.
7
SIZE-SPECIFIC WHEELS
Mixed wheels on XS and S frames improve maneuverability and fit for smaller riders, while dual 29-inch wheels on M and L maximize stability and rolling momentum on the trail.
8
CABLE ROUTING
External routing at the cockpit transitions to internal frame routing with flush cable guides that keep cables protected, secure, and running quietly on the trail.
9
CHAINSTAY PROTECTOR
A full-coverage durable molded chainstay protector reduces chain slap and helps keep the ride quiet on rough trails.
Techs & Features
ALUXX Aluminum Technology
This Performance level frame material features 6061 alloy with single-butted tubes to produce strong, lightweight framesets for a variety of different bikes and riding styles.
PowerCore
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter wide bottom-bracket design (92-millimeterwide for off-road bikes). Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
Tubeless System
Engineered with proprietary Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology, this tubeless ready composite WheelSystem delivers superior efficiency, pinpoint control and comfort.
FlexPoint Suspension Technology
A proven “single-pivot” design that uses the flexing action of the chainstay/seatstay junction to produce a lightweight and durable suspension system with 4.7 inches/120mm of rear travel.
OverDrive
Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, this fork steerer tube technology uses oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road, 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
