Summary
The Revel Ranger is a versatile cross-country bike that excels in efficiency, agility, and stability, making it suitable for a wide range of riding conditions. Its CBF suspension design offers a balanced ride, performing well both uphill and downhill. While it's praised for its lightweight and component selection, some riders note limitations in tire clearance and suspension suppleness.
Efficient and agile suspension performance
Lightweight design enhances climbing and acceleration
Versatile for cross-country through to trail riding
High-quality component selection
Stable and predictable handling on descents
Limited tire clearance with 2.6” tires
Suspension can feel firm or lack suppleness for some riders
High price point
Front end can feel long on climbs
Not the lightest in its class
It’s clear that the relatively safe geometry, in combination with the CBF, results in a quick and efficient ride.BIKEPACKING.com
After a few weeks aboard the Revel Ranger, it’s proven to be as efficient, agile, and stable as it is stylish.
BIKE MagazineThe Ranger V2 is just as capable as ever, but it’s faster and feels more laser-focused whether carving lines through singletrack or hunting down a technical KOM.

A hard-hitting short-travel full-suspension bike from Colorado-based Revel Bikes.
Absolutely gorgeous
Excellent handling
Highly capable suspension
Very good pedaling performance.
Kinda heavy
Firm-feeling suspension lacks liveliness
Thermoplastic wheel upgrade is a hard sell.

The latest Revel Ranger keeps the best attributes about the first version but makes it a better bike for the long haul.
Great suspension manners
Stiff and responsive frame
Eagle Transmission compatible, tougher frame
Front end can feel long on climbs

The 2023 Revel Ranger was just revamped and we had the chance to review this short-travel full-sus 29er through its paces before the launch
Efficient suspension maximizes momentum to power through challenging situations that might otherwise cause a hang-up
Very lightweight; better than most in its class
Climbs exceptionally well
Descends better than you’d expect from the geometry and weight class
Great components selection, albeit expensive
Despite the claimed 2.6” tire clearance, it’s really tight (I had some rub during a death mud encounter with 2.6″ tires)
A slightly larger frame triangle space would be preferable
30mm rims would be more versatile than the specced RW27s
The techy/industrial design might not be for everyone
Expensive

A new rear end allows version 2 to take advantage of SRAM Transmission.

With 115mm of travel, the Ranger seems fit for everything from cross-country to trail riding – how is Tom getting on with his custom build?
Cable routing was nice and simple
Mix of dependable parts should make maintenance easy
Freehub is a touch loud for my tastes

The short-travel 29er Revel Ranger gets a coil shock upgrade from Push Industries in the form of the pared-back Push ELEVENSIX-R Micro

It was only a matter of time before someone spoofed Yeti’s Lunch Ride models. For those of us who’ve forgotten what it’s like not to work from home, Yeti’s Lunch Ride bikes were inspired by employee builds that were slightly burlier versions of existing models for the quick loops they’d knock out during lunch. We…

| Crank | A known clearance issue exists between the mounting bolts on Shimano XT M8100 / SLX M7100 chainrings and the Revel Ranger frame. If you plan to use a Shimano XT or SLX crankset with your Ranger frame, you will need to use a 3rd party, direct mount chainring with Boost spacing (52mm chainline, 3mm offset). We recommend the 32t Wolftooth Direct Mount Chainring for Shimano Cranks. |
