Liv Pique Advanced 29 2 Mountain Bike with FlexPoint Pro Suspension for Trail Performance

The Liv Pique Advanced 29 2 Mountain Bike embodies the highest standards of engineering excellence, designed for riders who prioritize precision, power, and superior control across diverse trail environments. Constructed with an Advanced-grade composite frameset, this model is notably 297g lighter than its predecessor, delivering enhanced stiffness that optimizes power transfer. This advancement ensures more responsive climbs and sprints, empowering riders to confidently and efficiently tackle challenging terrains. The innovative FlexPoint Pro suspension system offers 115mm of smooth rear-wheel travel, skillfully balancing weight reduction with outstanding performance to maintain traction and control on technical surfaces.

Engineered for agility and responsiveness, the Liv Pique Advanced 29 2 features a shorter chainstay that significantly enhances maneuverability, enabling quick and assured turns. The 29-inch wheels contribute to stability and efficiency across a broad spectrum of trail conditions, while the slacker head tube angle combined with 120mm of front suspension improves the bike’s capability to manage technical descents with precision and ease. The updated geometry positions the rider in a lower, more aggressive stance, which enhances balance and pedaling power, particularly on steep climbs where every watt is crucial.

Meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout the design, from the steeper seat tube angle that increases pedaling efficiency to the precise steering facilitated by the 35mm composite handlebar and alloy stem. This configuration ensures responsive handling and control, whether navigating rugged singletrack or accelerating downhill. The Liv Pique Advanced 29 2 is engineered to elevate the mountain biking experience, offering the reliability and performance essential for conquering demanding rides with confidence.
