Giant Revolt X: new standards for gravel bikes
Giant has been setting new standards with the Revolt for more than ten years when it comes to gravel bikes. As one of the first bikes in this category, the model is one of the pioneers. However, in order to remain up-to-date over time, dThe new "Giant Revolt X" frame set has been further improved and now, for the first time, comes with a suspension fork with 40 mm of travel, which was specially developed for gravel use. As a result, the geometry was also adapted and optimized for the front that was changed by the suspension fork. A slightly longer reach and a higher bottom bracket should also ensure maximum control and control on uneven terrain.
While the 40 mm spring travel at the front should result in a significant increase in comfort, the low, thin seat stays serve to improve the flexibility of the rear triangle of the Giant Revolt X. According to the manufacturer, the necessary rigidity was further improved thanks to an innovative carbon layup become.
Maximum comfort and adjustable wheelbase
Additional comfort on the Giant Revolt X is promised by add-on parts such as the "Contact SL XR D-Fuse handlebars as well a standard dropper post. This is actuated by a cable and can be swapped out for a conventional 30,9 mm diameter post or a D-shaped carbon post from Giant. A so-called flip chip ensures versatility in tire width: the wheelbase can be changed by 1 cm and in the "long" position allows tires up to a width of 53 mm, while the maximum tire width in the "short" version is 45 mm lies. In terms of handling characteristics, a longer wheelbase provides more stability, while a shorter wheelbase allows for faster, more agile driving.
The Revolt X is also equipped with Giant's new "Carbon CXR X1" wheel system with wide, more coarsely profiled tubeless tires. The wheel setup provides robustness with minimal weight and the ability to run large volume tires with lower pressure to ensure a smoother ride, better grip and smooth transitions over varied terrain.
