Crosscountry
Pique Advanced 29 2 is a carbon cross-country mountain bike (2024), from Liv, in the Pique series. This model is best for a wide range of riders thanks to its fit flexibility, with a balanced riding position, while being best for smoother trails and efficient rolling. Metric-wise, it stands out for strong climbing friendliness for sustained uphill riding, good fit flexibility for dialing in rider position, and a comfort-leaning ride feel over longer rides. At the same time, the trade-off to keep in mind is a value score that depends more on priorities than pure price efficiency.
