Smarter. Lighter. More Capable.

When your suspension works with you—not against you—every ride feels smoother, faster, and more controlled. That’s the idea behind FlexPoint Pro. Engineered to keep your rear shock isolated from frame flex, it stays active and predictable under power, so you get consistent traction and control no matter how rough the trail gets. It’s the heart of the new Pique Advanced SL and Pique X Advanced SL—light, responsive, and ready for anything.

Ultra-Smooth Action

This linkage-driven, single-pivot system produces consistent damping and spring performance throughout its travel. The reengineered kinematics use a lower initial leverage ratio to create a firmer pedaling platform that wastes no watts under power—without compromising small-bump sensitivity. The result is efficient acceleration, smooth traction, and active control across rough terrain.

Superlight XC Performance

By eliminating the lower rocker arm and using a single full-composite upper rocker arm, FlexPoint Pro saves significant weight over traditional dual-rocker designs. Working with suspension partners Fox and RockShox, Liv optimized lightweight, compact shock bodies to complement the system’s 120mm (Pique Advanced SL) or 130mm (Pique X Advanced SL) front suspension for perfectly balanced performance across XC and downcountry terrain.

Less is More

The minimal flexing action of the chainstay/seatstay junction creates a ground-tracking, fully active system with fewer complex pivots, linkages and additional frame reinforcements. This makes it a durable system that requires less maintenance.

How it Works

US VERSUS THEM

While there are many flexing rear suspension designs on the market, none deliver the patented performance of FlexPoint Pro.

FLEXPOINT PRO

FlexPoint Pro’s engineered kinematics keep deformation minimal throughout suspension travel. Uncontrolled spring forces are extremely low and occur only at the midpoint of travel, allowing the suspension elements to remain isolated. With no added “spring-ramp” effect from the frame, small-bump sensitivity improves dramatically. In summary, the frame provides minimal resistance throughout its travel, while the shock is isolated to provide controlled resistance—exactly what gives XC riders a higher level of performance in demanding situations.

OTHERS

In most flex-based single-pivot systems, as the swingarm moves in its initial range, frame deformation immediately occurs, introducing spring forces from the frame’s chainstays and seatstays. Deeper into the travel, deformation continues and uncontrolled spring forces increase. This translates into both the shock and the frame providing unwanted suspension resistance. In summary, both the frame and shock are resisting travel. While the shock is custom-tuned to provide controlled performance, the frame is not—so it cannot provide controlled resistance.
