The Liv Embolden E+ has been launched as a confidence-driven, full-power trail e-MTB built to make real mountain riding feel more manageable, more consistent, and more fun. It sits firmly in the modern “do-it-all trail” sweet spot, with travel numbers that are big enough for proper technical riding, plus an E+ system package that is clearly aimed at riders who want strong climbing support without the bike feeling unpredictable on tricky terrain.

This launch lands alongside the Giant Stance E+, and there is a lot of shared DNA between the two. The key is to treat them as different bikes: the Liv Embolden E+ brings Liv’s women-first approach to fit and sizing, while the Giant Stance E+ takes the platform into a wider unisex size run and presentation.

Power you can rely on: SyncDrive Pro 3X and Sport 3 options

At the top of the range, Liv Embolden E+ 0 and Embolden E+ 1 use the new SyncDrive Pro 3X motor, claimed at up to 100Nm of torque and up to 800W of peak power. Liv also highlights a quoted 0.24-second response time to full torque, plus Smart Assist that adapts support automatically using multiple sensors. The intended result is power delivery that feels immediate but controllable, especially when you are climbing steep terrain at low speed.

Embolden E+ 2 runs the SyncDrive Sport 3 motor (up to 85Nm, up to 650W peak power), keeping the line-up accessible while staying in the full-power camp.

Trail-ready travel: 150mm fork and 140mm rear suspension

The Liv Embolden E+ features 150mm of travel up front and 140mm at the rear, with the FlexPoint suspension design keeping the rear wheel active and controlled over rough ground. Liv’s positioning is clear: this is built for real singletrack, technical climbs, and descents that demand stability, traction, and predictable handling.

Battery choices, range extender support, and RideControl Dash 2

Like the Giant platform sibling, Liv Embolden E+ uses EnergyPak Smart batteries with 800Wh or 625Wh, depending on model, plus compatibility with the EnergyPak Plus range extender for riders planning bigger days. RideControl Dash 2 is fitted across the range, with a bar-integrated colour display, and app support for tuning assistance behaviour to suit terrain and riding style.

For UK riders thinking about winter range and long-term battery habits, this internal guide is a strong add-on: how to get more range from your e-MTB battery.

Sizing and where Embolden E+ differs from the Giant platform sibling
Sizing is one of the clearest points of difference versus the Giant. The Liv Embolden E+ comes in XS, S, M, and L, with the XS running 27.5-inch wheels to help keep fit and handling consistent for smaller riders.

If you are between sizes or unsure what will feel right on UK trails, this internal guide is handy: how to choose the right e-MTB size.

UK pricing and line-up

The Liv Embolden E+ launches in three models: Embolden E+ 2 (£3,499), Embolden E+ 1 (£3,999), and Embolden E+ 0 (£4,999). It reads as a direct, full-power trail platform for riders who want to progress into more technical terrain with a bike that is designed to feel stable and manageable rather than extreme.
