Designed to help riders explore farther and progress with confidence, the Embolden E+ pairs full-suspension control with smooth, intuitive electric support. From forest roads to real mountain singletrack, it makes new terrain feel welcoming and longer rides feel achievable—with less stress and more fun.
With 150mm of front travel and 140mm at the rear, the suspension system is designed and tuned specifically for the Embolden E+ to deliver stability, traction, and predictable handling when trails get rough. The lightweight ALUXX SL-grade aluminum frame helps keep the bike manageable on climbs and more intuitive on singletrack, while the new FlexPoint Suspension design keeps the rear wheel active and controlled over uneven surfaces—helping the bike stay composed and easier to manage as trails get more technical.
The SyncDrive Pro 3X motor delivers up to 100Nm with a smooth, natural response that closely follows rider input—making steep climbs and long days feel more manageable. Paired with Smart Assist and high-capacity EnergyPak Smart batteries, the system supports a trail range of approximately 50–120 km depending on terrain, elevation, and support mode, with the option to add an EnergyPak Plus range extender for longer adventures. This gives riders the practical freedom to explore new areas, ride longer loops, and confidently plan full trail days without range anxiety.
Every part of the E+ System is developed to work together—from motor to battery to software—supporting durability, serviceability, and long-term value. Through the RideControl Dash 2 and RideControl app, riders can personalize how the bike responds and which ride data they see, making it easy to fine-tune support modes and power delivery to match terrain, fitness, and riding style. The system is fully supported through Liv retailers with diagnostics and firmware updates, while the in-house developed, industry leading battery chemistry delivers up to 2300 charge cycles, improving resale value and reducing waste. Integrated technologies, including Aegis tire pressure monitoring, e-locking and Apple Find My, add everyday security on and off the trail.
