Summary
The Giant Revolt is a versatile gravel bike praised for its smooth ride quality, efficient power transfer, and excellent comfort on rough terrain. It features a lightweight carbon frame, ample mounting points for accessories, and capable handling that suits both road and off-road riding.

Smooth and comfortable ride quality
Lightweight and efficient carbon frame
Versatile with ample mounting points for accessories
Capable handling for mixed-surface riding
Good value for money in many builds
Stock tires can lack traction in loose or wet conditions
Some components, like dropper posts, may have ergonomic or performance issues
Aggressive geometry may not suit all riders, especially on descents
The Revolt is undeniably, if understatedly rapid.
Bike PerfectIt’s easily one of the most comfortable gravel bikes I’ve ridden in recent memory.
Cycling TipsI love how much the Revolt manages to feel like a road bike, plus a bit more.
CyclistThe GIANT Revolt X is an excellent all-rounder, suitable for off-road adventures, relaxed post-work rides, and multi-day epics.

The Giant Revolt was one of the original group of drop bar bikes designed to head off the tarmac. It

Race or adventure is still your choice but the fourth generation Giant Revolt adds internal cabling, frame protection, and in-frame storage.
Jan 2024 · Martin Staffa
The GIANT Revolt X comes with a suspension fork, a dropper post, and a wide range drivetrain. Have they overshot the gravel target, or is it just right?
Great build, great handling, and lots of versatility
Balanced front and rear damping
Lively yet balanced handling
Dropper remote is difficult to reach and gets in the way while riding
Jun 2023 · James Huang
Giant’s popular Revolt gravel bike, now with a suspension fork, a dropper seatpost, and fatter tires.
Proven handling
A plush ride
Heaps of capability
Heaps of versatility
Mostly excellent components.
Can’t hide the weight or rolling resistance
Unrefined dropper seatpost
Gratingly loud freehub ratchet
Handling could be more daring.

2022’s Bike of the Year gets a rowdy reimagining
Excellent mullet spec
Huge off-road capability
Smooth comfort
Dropper can get bouncy
May be too dirt-focused for some
Feb 2023
Brand new for 2023, the Giant Revolt X is designed to be a more capable and comfortable gravel bike for all-terrain riding.
Hugely capable for a gravel bike
Comfortable, bump-smoothing ride quality
The supple Fox 32 TC fork
Responsive but comfortable CXR X1 wheelset
Supple high volume tyres
Flip chip adds versatility
Huge array of mounting points
Dropper post lacks adjustability
Remote ergonomics could be better
Toe overlap may be an issue for some riders
Limited brake lever reach

Leaked Australian listings for a 2023 Giant Revolt X Advanced carbon gravel bike reveal a redesign for 40mm suspension forks & 1x setups...
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
