VOLUME 58 ISSUE 47 NOVEMBER 23, 2021 P95
Now that you're sold on the concept,
let's move into the newest offering from
Giant's line of women's Liv e-bikes.
The Giant Liv Embolden E+ 2 is the
mid-level offering in Giant's lady-line of
electric mountain bikes. The Liv brand is
dedicated entirely to female riders, and
extends to road bikes, mountain bikes,
gravel bikes, electric bikes and an as-
sortment of kids bikes. The Liv line also
includes women's gear and accesso-
ries, making it a one-stop for getting you
kitted out and ready to roll. As a female
rider, I have tremendous appreciation
for Giant and the level of commitment
they've made to women on two wheels
with the Liv collection.
And it's not just the commitment, but
the overall quality. This is no shrink-
it-and-pink-it line of products—this is
purpose built for the common sizes and
weights of female riders, tailor made for
a better fit right off the shelf.
Comfort was the immediate factor
I noticed from the Liv Embolden E+
2. (And the helmet and shoes that Liv
sent along with it. Thanks, Liv!) I wasn't
looking to soften up the suspension or
fetch my women's saddle inside the first
10 minutes on the bike. In fact, I was re-
marking at how the new Liv Sylvia saddle
on the Embolden E+ 2 might actually be
even better than my Selle Italia Gel Flow,
which is my single favorite accessory on
my Stumpjumper.
Or perhaps it's that supple suspen-
sion that made everything flow like silk
from the first ride.
Giant's Liv line is
entirely dedicated to
lady riders, and the
Embolden E+ 2 is
an excellent mix of
comfort, power and
performance.
