Is the Revolt the right bike?

It is the right bike if:

  • You want a robust commuting bike.
  • You want a bike that is efficient and comfortable.
  • You're a new rider who wants a bike with stable, confident handling.
  • Your bike needs to accommodate extra storage such as frame bags and pannier racks.
  • You already own a road bike and want a second bike to act like a workhorse over Winter.

There's 4 types of Giant Revolts.

Giant has a mix of aluminium and carbon frames.

The carbon range is where it gets a little tricky but we're going to make it simple:

  • Revolt (aluminium)
  • Revolt Advanced (carbon)
  • Revolt X Advanced (suspension + carbon)
  • Revolt Advanced Pro (electronic gears + carbon)

Note: anytime you see Advanced, this means the Revolt uses a carbon frame.

Next, we'll cover each Revolt platform in a little more detail.

Revolt. For new & experienced riders.

Giant has 2 aluminium Revolt models for riders to choose from:

  • Revolt 2 $1,899.00
  • Revolt 1 $2,499.00

Both use a carbon front fork. Think of this as micro-suspension; absorbing surface level chattery impacts.

The Revolt 2 uses Shimano 9-speed gears.

And the Revolt 1 uses Shimano 10-speed gears.

There is a difference in the quality of the gears.

10-speed components on the Revolt 1 are more robust because they're designed for rugged conditions.

Plus, the Revolt 1 gets hydraulic disc brakes compared to the Revolt 2's mechanical disc.

Revolt Advanced. The sweet spot.

For MY2025, there are 4 models within the Revolt Advanced family.

  • Revolt Advanced 3 $3,199.00
  • Revolt Advanced 2 $3,699.00
  • Revolt Advanced 1 $4,199.00
  • Revolt Advanced 0 $5,199.00

All of the above models have carbon frames and slightly wider tyres (40mm to 45mm vs. 38mm for the alloy Revolts).

But it's only the Revolt Advanced 0 that gets carbon wheels.

Starting at the Revolt Advanced 3.

Think of this model as affordable performance.

The carbon frame is paired to Shimano 10-speed gears and hydraulic disc brakes. It's a solid workhorse build.

The extra $500 moves you into the Revolt Advanced 2.

And gets you the latest 12-speed gearing parts.

So we're talking better shifters, brakes, cassette, derailleurs and crank set.

The Revolt Advanced 1 is the only build with a single front gear.

Think of this model as the rugged off-roader.

It's got a dropper seat post.

And wider (45mm) tyres compared to 40mm.

The Revolt Advanced 0 is the baller build. It has the better 12-speed hardware and lightweight carbon gravel wheels.

The CXR 2 carbon wheels weight in at 1,518g vs. the PX-2 wheels at 2,030g.

Revolt X Advanced. True off-road.

Even though it's been dropped from the MY2025 line, the Revolt X Advanced will still appeal to those who:

  • Technical trails with lots of exposed tree roots and rocks.
  • Who prefer the smoothest possible ride and are willing to put up with a slightly heavier bike.

Revolt Advanced Pro.

The Revolt Advanced Pro 0 is designed to be the lightest and fastest - without compromising comfort.

Standout components of the Pro 0 are:

  • Giant's top-end super fast gravel carbon wheel set (1,398g).
  • SRAM Force AXS wireless electronic gears.
  • Giant SLR carbon handlebars.
  • Giant SLR carbon seat post for more flex and comfort.
