Liv Cycling Unveils All-New Tempt Mountain Bike Series
Liv Cycling announced their latest mountain bike today: the Tempt. They describe it as “confidence-inspiring.” Huh.
It’s an entry-level MTB with relaxed geometry so it’s as at home on city streets as it is on the trails. There’s also an electric version, but we’re going to assume you’re not interested in that.
The Tempt continues Liv’s naming convention for slightly pandering feminine “slay kween” bike names like Devote, Flourish, Pique, and Intrigue. They all sound a bit like the team names on The Apprentice.
Liv has done a huge amount for women’s cycling, both participatory and in competition, so we’ll give them a pass on the name. Here are some more details and a single photograph:
Liv’s new Tempt offers versatile, confidence-inspiring ride for women seeking entry level off-road adventures
Liv Cycling, the company dedicated to getting more women on bikes, introduced the new Tempt series today built for women seeking the perfect bike for their first off-road adventure. Available in either 29-inch or 27.5-inch wheel sizes, the new Tempt series is the ideal entry level off-road bike that is versatile enough to race on singletrack or ride around town.
“We built the new Tempt series with a sport trail geometry and split wheel sizing to provide entry level off-road riders with a wider range of bike fit and ride experience options,” said Ludi Scholz, Liv Cycling’s off-road category manager. “Tempt strikes a strong balance between sport and performance with an affordable price range and the inclusion of performance-oriented features like internal cable routing and dropper seatpost compatibility.”
Built using Liv’s 3F design philosophy, the Tempt lineup features a lightweight, capable and durable ALUXX-Grade Aluminum frame designed specifically for women. The geometry and frame design on this hardtail off-road bike also includes a low standover height to ensure the rider is balanced for optimal efficiency, comfort and control when riding on dirt trails.
Confidence Inspiring
The Tempt series is available in a wide range of frame and wheel sizes allowing riders to find the best fit and ride experience. The models with 27.5-inch wheels are available in frame sizes XS, S, and M while the models with 29-inch wheels are available in frame sizes S, M and L. Different drivetrain setups are also offered, allowing riders to choose based on their preference of either a single or double chainring crankset. The front suspension fork features 80mm of travel on the XS 27.5-inch wheel bikes, and 100mm on the S, M, and L 27.5-inch and 29-inch wheel bikes for a smooth and confident ride.
Built for Adventure
The Tempt is compatible with a kickstand, fenders and racks to easily carry accessories, while 30.9mm dropper seatpost compatibility gives riders the flexibility to upgrade and ride more aggressive off-road terrain. Tempt also features internal cable routing that provides a sleek look while protecting cables from the elements. With clearance of up to 2.4-inch width tires for either 29-inch or 27.5-inch wheels and powerful disc brakes, the Tempt is perfect for gritty off-road adventures.
The new Tempt series will be available worldwide this summer. Learn more at www.liv-cycling.com.
