Firstly, the Intrigue X E+ Pro truly has been built from the ground up exclusively for female riders. The frame has been developed using Liv’s 3F design philosophy (encompassing the bike’s geometry and suspension tune), which goes so much further than simply spec’ing a regular men's or unisex frame with a bunch of short/small parts and touchpoints and trying to pass the bike off as ‘female-specific’. The Intrigue X E+ Pro’s complete geometry package has been tailored and finetuned to perfectly suit female bodies. Also, the bike is offered in 4 different frame sizes, from XS through to L. Interestingly, the XS bike comes with 27.5” wheels but the other three frame sizes (S, M, L) all come with 29” wheels.
