The Liv Tempt 0 in Gloss Asphalt Green / Solar Flare is the top-tier model in Liv’s entry-to-mid-level hardtail mountain bike lineup. The "Asphalt Green" finish is a sleek, deep green with striking bright accents ("Solar Flare"), giving it a premium look on the trails.
This bike is designed as a confidence-inspiring, highly capable machine for women looking to get serious about off-road riding or seeking a robust, high-quality commuter. What sets the "0" model apart from the rest of the Tempt range is its impressive component list—most notably, it comes out of the box with an air-sprung fork, a 12-speed drivetrain, and an integrated dropper seatpost.

Key Highlights
Air-Sprung Fork Adjustment: Unlike cheaper coil forks, the SXC32-2 fork uses an air spring. This is a massive advantage because it allows you to precisely tune the suspension pressure using a shock pump to match your exact body weight, providing a much smoother and more responsive ride.
Included Dropper Post: It is rare to find a dropper post included at this price point. With a push of a lever on the handlebars, you can instantly lower your saddle for steep descents or technical sections, and pop it right back up for pedaling efficiency.
Proportional Wheel Sizing: Liv tailors the bike's geometry to the rider's height. Extra-Small and Small frames use nimble 27.5-inch wheels, while taller riders on Medium and Large frames get the fast-rolling efficiency of 29-inch wheels (Note: Size Small is offered in both wheel sizes).
Massive 12-Speed Gear Range: The Shimano Deore 1x12 setup with a huge 10-51 tooth cassette means you have the exact same gear ratios as professional-level race bikes. It makes climbing steep fire roads significantly easier while keeping the shifting simple with just one lever.
Thru-Axles for Stiffness: The wheels attach using thick, thread-in thru-axles rather than thin quick-release skewers. This locks the wheels firmly into the frame and fork, greatly increasing steering precision and braking alignment.
