Summary
The Giant Revolt series is praised for its versatility, comfort, and innovative features like the D-Fuse seatpost and flip-chip dropout, making it suitable for a wide range of gravel riding conditions. However, opinions vary on its handling and tire choices, with some models receiving mixed feedback for off-road performance.
Versatile gravel geometry
Comfortable ride quality
Innovative D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar
Flip-chip dropout for adjustable wheelbase and tire clearance
Plethora of mounting points for accessories
Mixed reviews on handling and off-road performance
Questionable tire choices for certain conditions
Some models lack front derailleur mount
Dropper post ergonomics could be improved
The stock tires are a massive limiter off-road and not the gift you'd expect on road either.
Bike PerfectGiant figure they could make an even more capable off-road gravel bike for the gnarliest adventure riding & ultra-distance racing… enter the upcoming Revolt X!
BikerumorIt’s easily one of the most comfortable gravel bikes I’ve ridden in recent memory.

Race or adventure is still your choice but the fourth generation Giant Revolt adds internal cabling, frame protection, and in-frame storage.
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...
Jul 2022 · Matthew Loveridge
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
