Liv Pique SX on test
The only bike in the test that was designed purely for the female anatomy. The central riding position is immediately noticeable.

Only the Maestro rear suspension is borrowed from its big brother Giant. And rightly so, because it works quietly and efficiently, but irons out root carpets sensitively and with optimum stroke utilisation. No bobbing when pedalling. The fork harmonises well with the rear end, giving the rider a good balance. The steepest steering angle in the test field enables agile, almost playful handling. We would only wish for a 28 t chainring on the 1x11 drivetrain for long and steep climbs.


ConclusionAll-round successful trail bike with the best uphill performance and the second-best downhill performance (behind Canyon).


AlternativeThe Pique is also available in the carbon version Advanced 1, price: 4299 euros.

Gitta Beimfohr joined the BIKE travel resort during her tourism studies when the Strada delle 52 Gallerie on the Pasubio was closed to mountain bikers. Since Gitta crossed the Alps twice at racing speed, she has favoured multi-day tours - by MTB in the Alps or by gravel bike through the German low mountain ranges.
