Summary

The Revel Ranger is a versatile cross-country bike praised for its efficient suspension, lightweight frame, and exceptional climbing capabilities. It descends better than expected for its geometry and weight class, offering a fun and responsive ride. However, it's noted for being expensive and having tight tire clearance with 2.6” tires.

Pros
  • Efficient suspension maximizes momentum

  • Very lightweight; better than most in its class

  • Climbs exceptionally well

  • Descends better than expected

  • Great components selection

Cons
  • Tight tire clearance with 2.6” tires

  • Expensive

  • Short travel noticeable in rough terrain

  • Not the lightest down-country bike

Key Quotes
It’s clear that the relatively safe geometry, in combination with the CBF, results in a quick and efficient ride.

I absolutely loved the Ranger. After every ride I came home raving about it.

The 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.

Revel Ranger v2 Review: The Right Updates at the Right Time

Aug 2023 · Zach Overholt

Is stiffer better? If you're talking about rear triangles, the new Revel Ranger v2 suggests that, yes, stiffer IS better.

Revel Ranger v2 review: The silent assassin - Escape Collective

Jul 2023 · James Huang

A hard-hitting short-travel full-suspension bike from Colorado-based Revel Bikes.

Highs
  • Absolutely gorgeous

  • Excellent handling

  • Highly capable suspension

  • Very good pedaling performance.

Lows
  • Kinda heavy

  • Firm-feeling suspension lacks liveliness

  • Thermoplastic wheel upgrade is a hard sell.

2023 Revel Ranger Review

Apr 2023 · Neil Beltchenko

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

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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
