Trying to decide between a Women’s 27.5 Stumpjumper st @ $1870 or , a Liv Pique 2 @ $1995. Which is a better bike? They both feel great, so I need opinions! Thanks!!

My wife has the Pique 2, she loves it. It is a more xc oriented bike with steeper HA, but she likes the increased maneuverability over the Cannondale Trigger she came off of. The Fox Rhythm is nice. Really nice fit with lower standover etc.

Head angle seems to be slacker on the Stumpjumper, depends on what you are looking for.

My wife loves her Pique. It's well-suited to general cross-country use.

If you're riding steeper terrain though, then the Stumpjumper may be a better option. It will need a dropper post though.

I see you're from Jupiter. Aside from the higher gravity, what kind of trails are you riding there? I'd agree with Curveball......
