Giant has updated the Revolt gravel bike with integrated down tube storage, internal cable routing and new compliance-improving finishing kit.Available in Advanced Pro and Advanced carbon layup options at launch, the 2022 Bike of the Year winning bike is, otherwise, unchanged.Prices start at 2,499 / $N/A / 2,499 / AU$3,199 for the base Shimano GRX-RX400-equipped Revolt Advanced 3, rising to 5,599 / $7,000 / 6,499/ $8,499 for the top-spec Revolt Advanced Pro 0.Cables pass through specially-shaped spacers into the frameset. - GiantIntegrated routingLike the tenth-generation TCR, the new Giant Revolt features fully integrated cable routing.Gear cables and brake hoses are routed through the handlebar, hollowed stem and specially-shaped headset spacers, before heading into the frame. This offers uncluttered cockpit aesthetics and improved aero performance according to Giant, although we know it won't be popular with all riders.Tools and spares can be stored inside the down tube. - GiantThe Revolt also now has integrated down tube storage. This is accessed via a locking lid beneath the bottle cage mounts. Giant hasnt specified the capacity of the storage chamber.With the exception of these new features, the new Revolts silhouette is nearly identical to the outgoing bike.Comparing the two bikes side-by-side, the down tube appears marginally beefier and the raised seat cluster is also less pronounced, but theres very little in it.The latest super-slim D-Fuse seatpost was introduced on the latest Defy. - GiantSlimmer seatpostThe new Revolt adopts the D-Fust seatpost first seen on the Defy (our 2024 Road Bike of the Year).This is slimmed and flattened from its D-shaped profile just below the saddle clamp to improve rear-end compliance, according to Giant.A conventional 30.9mm-diameter round seatpost (including dropper posts) can also be used with a shim.The new Revolt has clearance for 53mm tyres in the 'long' setting. - GiantFlip chips, which provide 10mm of fore and aft chainstay length adjustment, carry over from the last bike. Running these in the long position increases the bikes tyre clearance to 53mm.Rack, mudguard and ample bottle cage mounts also carry over from the previous-generation Revolt.Revolt Advanced Pro vs Revolt AdvancedThe Advanced and Advanced Pro models of Giant's TCR and Propel road bikes are differentiated by the integrated seatpost and higher-grade carbon layup on the more expensive Advanced Pro.The Revolt Advanced and Advanced Pro are only differentiated by the layup features such as integrated storage, fully internal cable routing and accessory mounts are retained across both levels.Giant hasnt specified the weight difference between the two.

Fortunately, the changes in the new Giant Revolt are mainly cosmetic rather than wholesale. The headline feature of the latest fourth generation Giant Revolt is the inclusion of cable integration. This sees the brake hoses (and the gear cables in the case of models with mechanical shifting) routed in a channel under the stem and through the headset, offering a cleaner aesthetic and making it easier to mount a bar bag. Giant also claims aero gains.As with many newer bikes designed for off-road and endurance riding, theres in-frame storage, via a hatch under the downtube bottle cage.The new Revolt continues Giants practice of incorporating a flip chip in the rear dropout. In the short position, this offers 42mm of tyre clearance, with Giant saying that this is suitable for faster gravel riding and all-road use.Flip the chip and the wheelbase is extended by 10mm. This increases tyre clearance to 53mm and, Giant says, increases the bikes stability when riding trickier off-road.When we reviewed the bikes predecessor in Advanced Pro 1 guise, we commented on how well the bike covered the full spectrum of gravel riding. Flipping did require a little work though, as the brake calliper also needs to be moved and we didnt really notice the change in handling once changed, although the front wheel was marginally more planted on ascents when in the long position.Elsewhere, Giant has added frame protection to the downtubes underside, to avoid damage from rocks and to the right hand chainstay to help to protect it from chainslap.The Revolts seatpost and its handlebars both have Giants D-Fuse profile. In the handlebars, the brand says that this helps to provide downward compliance, while maintaining stiffness when pulling up. The higher grade Advanced Pro bikes are equipped with carbon bars, the Advanced bikes have alloy ones.Both have a carbon D-Fuse seatpost, although this can be exchanged for a standard round seatpost or a 30.9mm dropper post.The frames of both the Advanced and the Advanced Pro bikes are the same and fabricated with Advanced Grade Composite. Where the two spec grades differ is in their fork, with the Advanced Pro using an Advanced SL grade fork, while the Advanced bikes have a standard Advanced grade fork. Both fork grades include fork leg mounts for extra luggage, while the frame includes the usual set of gravel bike mounting points.Specs and pricesThe new Giant Revolt is available in six specs:Revolt Advanced Pro 0SRAM Force AXS 212-speed electronic groupsetGiant CXR 1 carbon wheelsPrice: 5,599 / $7,000 / 6,499Revolt Advanced Pro 1SRAM Rival AXS 212-speed electronic groupsetGiant CXR 1 carbon wheelsPrice: 4,499 / $5,800 / 5,599Revolt Advanced 0Shimano GRX RX820 212-speed mechanical groupsetGiant CXR 2 carbon wheelsPrice: 3,799 / $4,500 / 4,499Revolt Advanced 1SRAM Apex XPLR 112-speed mechanical groupsetGiant P-X 2 alloy wheelsPrice: 3,099 / $n/a / n/aRevolt Advanced 2Shimano GRX RX820/610 212-speed mechanical groupsetGiant P-X 2 alloy wheelsPrice: 2,699 / $3,000 / 3,199Revolt Advanced 3Shimano GRX RX400 210-speed mechanical groupsetGiant P-X 2 alloy wheelsPrice: 2,499 / $n/a / 2,499Theres also a frameset-only option for the Advanced Pro, priced at 1,899 / $2,400 / 2,599.
