Liv Embolden 1

Clunky shifting does match the price point but you may find yourself wanting to upgrade early on.
Product: Liv Embolden 1: first ride review
A sub-£2k full-susser is a cheering prospect; especially one with the Liv Embolden 1 spec sheet. A line-up of mbr-recommended full-suspension bikes under £2,000 would be a short one, but the Liv Embolden 1 would make the cut. Sibling to the longstanding Giant Stance, albeit with smaller wheels, the Embolden is a do-it-all shredder with a spec list that outperforms expectations based on the swing tag alone.
