The 2026 Liv Embolden is a women's full-suspension trail bike for riders who want to spend more time riding and less time fussing with their bike. Liv built it around feedback from women riders, so the fit, geometry and suspension tune feel natural right out of the box. Whether you're moving up from forest paths or already hitting real singletrack, the Embolden gives you a stable, confident ride that's easy to live with.
Why Riders Love It
- Confident, balanced handling: Modern trail geometry (65° head angle) keeps things calm on descents and steady on climbs.
- Wheels sized to the rider: XS and S get a 29" front / 27.5" rear mixed setup for easier handling and fit. M and L run 29" front and rear to roll over roots and rocks and hold speed.
- Plenty of travel: 130mm FlexPoint rear suspension paired with a 140mm fork. Smooth on small bumps, supportive when the trail gets rough.
- Dropper post included: Drop the saddle with a thumb lever for descents and techy sections.
- Low maintenance: Lightweight ALUXX-grade aluminum frame, tubeless-ready wheels, UDH derailleur hanger, internal cable routing and a full molded chainstay protector to keep it quiet.
Key Features
- ALUXX-Grade Aluminum Frame: Hydroformed alloy that's strong, stiff and light.
- FlexPoint Suspension: Simple, durable single-pivot design with a shock tuned specifically for the Embolden.
- OverDrive Head Tube: Oversized for stiffer, more precise steering.
- PowerCore Bottom Bracket: Wide BB area for efficient pedaling.
- Tubeless Ready: Run lower pressure for more grip and fewer flats. Fits tires up to 2.5".
- UDH Compatible: Universal Derailleur Hanger means replacements are easy to find.

Buy From CyclErie
Every bike we sell is professionally built and safety checked by our service team. Come test ride the Embolden at either of our stores, in Historic Old Town Erie or downtown Longmont, and we'll help you dial in fit and suspension setup before you hit the trail.
We had an outstanding experience at Cyclerie! We purchased two Aventon e-bikes, and the entire process was exceptional from start to finish. The staff took the time to help us choose the perfect bikes for our needs, recommended all the right accessories, and even installed our bike rack on the car before we left.
I had a terrific experience at Cyclerie! I love the bike I bought and working with Skip was great. He told me about customizing features that are available on the bike if you use the Aventon app.
I enjoyed my buying experience at Cyclerie. Ideal location, easy to get to, easy access to trails to test ride. … Salesperson was helpful, knowledgeable and easy to work with. No pressure to buy.
