New Trails. New Confidence.

The Liv Tempt 2 2025 in Mars Dust is ready to turn everyday rides into off-road adventures. With a lightweight ALUXX aluminium frame, suspension fork, simple microSHIFT Advent 1×9 gearing and hydraulic disc brakes, this versatile hardtail gives you the control to explore dirt paths, tackle gentle trails and build your mountain biking skills.

A Lightweight Frame with Room to Progress

The ALUXX-grade aluminium frame combines durability with an easy-to-manage ride feel. Its updated tube shaping and modern mountain bike geometry create a balanced platform for riders discovering off-road cycling. Internal cable routing keeps the bike looking tidy, while integrated chainstay protection helps reduce noise when the terrain gets rough. From local paths to your first trail loops, the Tempt 2 is built to support steady progress.

The Right Wheel Size for Your Fit

Liv matches wheel size to frame size to help riders find a comfortable, controlled fit. The XS uses 27.5-inch wheels, the Small offers a choice of 27.5-inch or 29-inch wheels, and the Medium uses 29-inch wheels. The smaller wheels offer nimble handling, while the larger wheels help maintain momentum over uneven ground. Combined with the frame geometry, these options let you choose a setup that suits your height and riding preferences.

Suspension for Smoother Off-Road Riding

The SXC32-3 RL suspension fork helps absorb bumps and maintain front-wheel control on uneven paths. Travel is matched to the wheel configuration, with 80mm on the 27.5-inch models and 100mm on the 29-inch models. A Boost 15x110mm front thru-axle provides a secure connection between the fork and wheel, while the coil-spring suspension takes the edge off rough surfaces as you develop your trail confidence.

Simple Gearing with a Wide Range

The microSHIFT Advent 1×9 drivetrain keeps gear changes straightforward with a single front chainring and nine rear gears. The wide-range 11–46T cassette gives you useful climbing gears alongside ratios for flatter sections. A clutch-equipped rear derailleur helps control chain movement over bumps, making the setup well suited to mixed terrain. With no front derailleur to operate, you can focus on choosing your line and enjoying the ride.

Controlled Braking and Grippy Tyres

Tektro hydraulic disc brakes provide responsive stopping power, with a 180mm front rotor and 160mm rear rotor. Maxxis 2.4-inch tyres add a generous contact patch for traction and comfort on dirt. The 27.5-inch models use Maxxis Rekon tyres, while the 29-inch models use Rekon Race tyres. Giant double-wall alloy rims and sealed hubs complete a practical wheel setup for regular riding.

Comfort for Everyday Adventures

A Liv ErgoContact Trail saddle, Giant Sole-O grips and flat handlebar give the Tempt 2 a comfortable, familiar riding position. The bike comes with a conventional Giant Sport seatpost, and internal dropper-post routing gives you an upgrade option as your riding develops. Its versatility also makes it a useful companion for fitness rides, bike paths and everyday trips between trail outings.

Who Is the Liv Tempt 2 For?

The Liv Tempt 2 suits riders looking for a capable first mountain bike or a versatile hardtail for recreational riding. It is a great choice for exploring local dirt tracks, enjoying family rides and getting comfortable with off-road handling. The Mars Dust finish brings a distinctive look to a bike that balances practical components with plenty of room to build skills.
