Nothing is off-limits to the Embolden, a trail bike designed to conquer tricky climbs, rowdy descents, and chunky rock gardens with confidence.
Key Performance Factors
Wheel Options
Available in 27.5- and 29-inch wheel size options, select the Embolden that best fits you and where you want to ride.
Trail Capability
ALUXX-Grade Aluminum frame, tubeless wheelset, dropper seatpost, Liv Sylvia trail saddle and a 1x drivetrain allow you to tackle new technical terrain with confidence.
Flexpoint Suspension
The 120mm of FlexPoint Suspension provides an effective, lightweight and durable suspension system so you have increased control while riding over rooty and rocky terrain.
Highlights
Aluxx-Grade Aluminum
Formed from raw materials in Liv’s own forging facility, this proprietary alloy features 30 percent additional stiffness over traditional 6061-series aluminum, while also reducing overall weight.
Flexpoint Suspension
A proven “single-pivot” design that uses the flexing action of the chainstay/seatstay junction to produce a lightweight and durable suspension system with 4.7 inches/ 120mm of rear travel.
Overdrive
Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
PowerCore
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/ chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter-wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetrical chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
130mm Fork
130mm of travel up front allows you to easily navigate trail obstacles and singletrack terrain.
Tubeless
Tubeless ready, so you can run lower tire pressure for added traction and control.
Boost Hub Spacing
Boost 15x110 [F], 12X148 [R] hub spacing improves stiffness, trail handling and tire clearance
Increased Tire Clearance
Run up to 2.6-inch tires on 27.5-inch wheel models and 2.4-inch tires on 29-inch wheel models for increased stability.

Weight | The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality. |
