Introducing the Fourth Generation Giant Gravel Bike: Revolt

Key upgrades include sleek internal cable routing for a cleaner aesthetic and improved aerodynamics, and a cleverly integrated storage solution. This built-in storage allows riders to conveniently carry essential tools, snacks, and spares directly within the frame. The new Revolt lineup features two distinct series: the Revolt Advanced Pro and the Revolt Advanced, catering to different rider needs and preferences in the Giant Gravel Bike category.

Key Performance Factors of the New Giant Gravel Bike
The fourth generation Revolt is engineered for peak performance across diverse gravel terrains. Here’s a breakdown of the key elements that make this giant gravel bike stand out:
Fast and Versatile Gravel Machine
The Revolt frame and fork are constructed from lightweight Advanced-grade composite material. This combination delivers race-winning efficiency while maintaining exceptional control on challenging surfaces. A key feature enhancing the versatility of this giant gravel bike is the flip chip on the rear dropout. This innovative design allows riders to adjust the wheelbase, offering two distinct settings: a shorter wheelbase for more agile handling, or a longer wheelbase to accommodate wider tires (up to 53mm) and boost stability. Furthermore, the Revolt offers adaptable seatpost options. Riders can utilize the included D-Fuse seatpost for increased flex and compliance, or easily switch to a standard 30.9mm round seatpost or even a dropper post for enhanced control on technical descents.
Tuned Compliance for Gravel Comfort
Comfort is paramount when tackling long gravel rides. The Revolt giant gravel bike incorporates dropped seatstays with slender tubing. This design effectively absorbs road shocks and vibrations encountered on varied gravel surfaces. To further enhance ride quality, the Revolt Advanced Pro models feature the Contact SLR* XR D-Fuse carbon handlebar and D-Fuse SLR* seatpost. These components work in harmony to smooth out rough tracks, improving control and minimizing rider fatigue over extended distances.
Smart Integration for Gravel Adventures
The Revolt giant gravel bike prioritizes both performance and practicality. Internally routed cables contribute to a clean and uncluttered cockpit area, while also improving aerodynamic efficiency. The integrated top tube storage compartment provides convenient and secure storage for essential items. Beyond this, additional integrated mounts on the top tube, fork, and rear dropout provide extensive options for customization with extra packs or fenders, making it ideal for bikepacking or all-weather riding. New, molded chainstay and downtube protectors are incorporated to safeguard the frame from impacts and reduce noise, adding to the refined feel of this giant gravel bike.
Explore the Carbon and Aluminum Revolt Range
Giant offers the Revolt in both Advanced-grade composite (carbon) and aluminum frame options. The Revolt Advanced Pro and Revolt Advanced models showcase the carbon offerings, delivering lightweight performance and enhanced vibration damping. For riders seeking a more budget-friendly option, the aluminum Revolt models provide the same versatile geometry and gravel-ready features in a robust and reliable package.
