  • Versatility

  • Mounts for everything

  • Big clearances

Lows
  • Tyres are unsuitable for loose surfaces or wet conditions

  • Annoying freehub sound

GIANT Revolt Advanced 0 gravel bike on test

May 2022 · By

Thanks to a flip-chip in the dropouts, the wheelbase of the GIANT Revolt Advanced 0 can be adjusted by one centimetre. This affects both handling and tire clearance. A direct comparison with 18 of the best gravel bikes of the year shows whether this and the mechanical 2x11 Shimano drivetrain make the bike good enough all-round to beat the competition.

Highs
  • Predictable handling

  • You can tune the handling by adjusting the flip-chip

  • Plenty of mounting points

  • Dropper post compatible

Lows
  • Operation of the seat post clamp

  • Handlebar isn’t flared and the drops are too short

Giant Revolt Advanced 0 gravel bike review – lighter and faster than ever

May 2022 · Guy Kesteven

Giant’s much loved soft-road gravel bike gets bigger tires, a smoother ride and more versatility, while losing weight

Highs
  • Super-smooth frame, post and bars

  • Light and quietly super-quick frame and wheels

  • Loads of bottle, rack, fender and bag mounts

  • 53mm tire clearance

  • Close spaced gears and powerful brakes

Lows
  • Receptor tires are terrifying without adding speed

  • Stock steering is borderline sketchy off-road

  • No single ring options on any Revolt

The new Revolt is all about evolution not revolution, and that is a wholly good thing

Highs
  • Superb comfort

  • Quicker, racier handling

  • GRX braking

  • Lightweight wheels

  • Builds on what made the original Revolt a winner

Lows
  • Tyres aren’t suited to wet and/or muddy conditions

  • Di2 wiring woes

  • Won’t be a radical enough change from the previous model for some
