ALUXX Aluminium Frame
The Liv Tempt 3 features a lightweight ALUXX aluminium frame with updated tube shaping and geometry designed for confident handling. Its comfortable riding position makes it suitable for exploring off-road trails, while internal cable routing and dropper post compatibility provide a clean appearance and future upgrade options.
SR Suntour XCE Suspension Fork
The SR Suntour XCE suspension fork helps absorb bumps and improve comfort on uneven terrain. Depending on frame and wheel size, it provides 80mm or 100mm of travel, helping riders maintain control on gravel paths, forest tracks and light off-road trails.
Shimano Acera 16-Speed Drivetrain
The Shimano Acera 2x8-speed drivetrain provides a wide range of gears for tackling climbs and riding on flatter terrain. With a 22/36T double chainset and 11-34T cassette, it offers straightforward shifting and plenty of gearing options for varied riding conditions.
Tektro Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Tektro hydraulic disc brakes provide consistent stopping power in changing weather and trail conditions. With a 180mm front rotor and 160mm rear rotor, they offer controlled braking for recreational mountain biking and everyday riding.
Giant GX03V Wheels
The Giant GX03V double-wall aluminium wheels are designed for durability on varied terrain. Available in 27.5-inch or 29-inch sizes depending on frame size, they provide a balance of manoeuvrability, stability and rolling efficiency.
Maxxis Ikon Tyres
Maxxis Ikon 2.2-inch tyres offer a balance of traction and rolling efficiency for mixed surfaces. Their relatively low-profile tread helps maintain speed on firmer trails while providing grip on loose gravel and light off-road terrain.
Comfortable Finishing Kit
Giant Connect Trail handlebars and a Giant Sport stem provide a comfortable riding position, with dimensions matched to frame size. The Contact Ergo saddle adds support, while the frame's internal routing allows for a compatible dropper post upgrade.
Versatile Mountain Biking
The Liv Tempt 3 is designed for riders looking to build confidence on off-road trails while retaining everyday practicality. Its comfortable geometry, dependable components and accessible gearing make it a good choice for recreational mountain biking, gravel paths and commuting.
