Summary

The Giant Revolt is celebrated for its versatility and comfort across various terrains, making it a standout in the gravel bike category. Its D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar system, along with stable yet responsive handling, are frequently praised. While it excels in ride comfort and versatility, some reviews note the need for knobbier tires in certain conditions and a subdued handling for a performance bike.

Pros
  • Versatile for commuting, road training, gravel racing or adventuring

  • D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar provide comfort and stiffness as needed

  • Stable yet responsive handling

  • Good value for a quality carbon frameset and 105 groupset

  • Tubeless setup included

Cons
  • Tires may need knobbier treads for steep and twisty dirt trails

  • Subdued handling for a performance bike

  • Frame-specific seatpost limits upgrade options

Giant Revolt Advanced 0 2019 gravel bike review - CyclingTips

May 2019 · Dave Rome

New for 2019, the Revolt Advanced is Giant’s first carbon gravel-focussed steed. Built with performance in mind, it’s a clear departure from Giant’s previous and surprisingly numerous gravel-styled models. I spent the past couple months riding the Revolt Advanced 0 and came away impressed. It’s not only a great leap above the Giant ToughRoad SLR […]

Highs
  • Smooth, efficient and composed ride, unquestionably good value, reliable components.

Lows
  • Subdued handling for a performance bike, matte paint, the name.
