Liv Tempt

The Tempt is a recreational mountain bike that's designed specifically for women; pre-teens, teens and adults.

Tempt riders can use their new bike on any terrain; pavement, rail trails, smooth dirt and gravel.

Liv has designed 4 Tempt models. The range starts from the mid-range build Tempt 4 and tops-out at the Tempt 1.

We'll go through and explain the differences below. For the sake of relevancy, we'll cover the latest 2025 Tempt range.

Liv's Tempt 4 is designed for riders who are riding on suburban or country bike paths with a combination of pavement, dirt and gravel.

However, if you decide to attempt easy mountain bike trails, the Tempt 4 can handle that.

For 2025, Liv has used more robust hardware that can deal with slightly rougher conditions.

A single front gear reduces moving parts and therefore extra maintenance.

Mechanical disc brakes deliver better braking performance than rim brakes.

In a nutshell:

• Robust and reliable 8 speed gears.
• Mechanical disc brakes.
• S and M frames sizes.

Liv's Tempt 2 is an upper end recreational women's mountain bike.

This model goes back to a single front gear setup; focusing more on off-road use.

And it's now paired to 9 gears on the back, delivering more range than the Tempt 4. And smoother gear changes.

To make the Tempt 2 more off-road capable, another upgrade is the latest SXC32-3 RL suspension fork.

It's a noticeable upgrade too. Smoother, plusher and delivering better handling over tree roots, rocks and bumps.

A note on sizing. 

It's the first Tempt to use an XS frame and have the S frame size available in 2 wheel sizes (27.5 and 29).

The smaller 27.5-inch wheels are best for smaller riders because they make the Tempt 2 more agile and responsive.

However, the larger 29-inch diameter wheels are more stable and roll easier.

• 9-speed gears.
• Hydraulic disc brakes.
• SXC32-3 RL suspension fork.
• XS (27.5), S (27.5), S (29), M (29).
