Summary
The Giant Revolt is a versatile gravel bike praised for its comfort, stable handling, and value. It excels on a variety of surfaces with its D-Fuse components enhancing ride quality, though some models may feel heavy or lack tire versatility in muddy conditions. The bike is often compared favorably to competitors like the Specialized Diverge and Trek Checkpoint.
Comfortable on long rides with D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar
Stable yet responsive handling
Good value for the price
Versatile for commuting, gravel, and bikepacking
Quality alloy frame with carbon fork on some models
Heavier than some competitors
Tires may not perform well in very muddy conditions
Limited upgrade options due to frame-specific components
The Revolt helped me find adventure when I really couldn’t go that far.
Canadian Cycling MagazineIt’s the Toyota Camry of budget gravel bikes. Completely reliable, functional, and predictable, but without a single feature that would really make you want it.
Cycling TipsThe Giant Revolt 0 has the ability to reignite that childlike passion, and indeed to rekindle the flame of freedom that cycling offers at every stage in our two-wheeled education.

Do-everything gravel bike isn't even slightly revolting
Fabulous ride
Versatility
Mounts for everything
Big clearances
Tyres are unsuitable for loose surfaces or wet conditions
Annoying freehub sound
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.
Predictable handling
You can tune the handling by adjusting the flip-chip
Plenty of mounting points
Dropper post compatible
Operation of the seat post clamp
Handlebar isn’t flared and the drops are too short
May 2022 · Guy Kesteven
Giant’s much loved soft-road gravel bike gets bigger tires, a smoother ride and more versatility, while losing weight
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
Receptor tires are terrifying without adding speed
Stock steering is borderline sketchy off-road
No single ring options on any Revolt

A “CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE” GRAVEL BIKE
Jan 2022 · Jeremy Benson
In the cycling world, Giant is synonymous with value, and that is evident in their very reasonably priced Revolt Advanced 3 gravel bike. This complete...
Inexpensive for carbon
Compliant seat post and handlebar
2x drivetrain
Non-aggressive tires
Quirky geometry
Nov 2021 · Ben Delaney
I broke the seatpost, finished second, and had a blast.
Nov 2021 · Warren Rossiter
The new Revolt is all about evolution not revolution, and that is a wholly good thing
Superb comfort
Quicker, racier handling
GRX braking
Lightweight wheels
Builds on what made the original Revolt a winner
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
Nov 2021 · James Huang
Versatile design also includes rack and fender mounts, and a refreshing dearth of proprietary bits.
Super comfortable ride, low weight, progressive-enough frame geometry, strong track record for quality frame construction.
Questionable headset and spacer shaping, polarizing bar bend, questionable tire choice, could be stiffer up front.
