In contrast to the less expensive Tempt model, the battery integration of the Vall E+ 2 looks much more elegant: Both bikes are designed with women's needs in mind.
In steep sections the somewhat low torque Giant motor requires a lot of initiative from the biker. The Giant SyncDrive Sport provides a natural riding experience. The power delivery is always dynamic. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the Vall E+ 2 , because of its low range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the LIV Vall E+ 2 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (3000) .

As the bumps get bigger and rougher the average SR Suntour fork limits the downhill fun. Taking a holistic approach also includes looking at the gearing and components. The components are of good qualtiy and offer no reason for criticism here. When it comes to the geometry, LIV does not go completely crazy. The head tube angle and reach values were chosen with care. The result: A balanced riding behaviour with a good combination of playfulness and straight-line stability. The low bottom bracket height is a party pooper for the handling on the trail. On other bikes, you are more centrally located behind the handlebar.

Conclusion


Expirience with the LIV Vall E+ 2

With a simple brake system and a poor range, the Vall E+ 2 definitely has weaknesses. Nevertheless, it remains a solid all-rounder with a wide range of abilities , thanks to a good motor and a good groupset. Check the geometry table carefully before buying: The Vall E+ 2 sizing runs small. Praise-worthy: 25 years of Warranty on the Frame!
