Revolver 3 rider review

May 2025 · Flydyl

Super fun and fast bike. But the older geometry puts your weight forward. Not so great for the rough stuff or jumps. But if you're looking to ride

Highs
  • Fast, light, nimble, fun. A real XC race bike

Lows
  • Geometry is a bit compact and forces your weight forward--not great for the rough stuff
