Emma hops aboard Revel's trail bike to see how it handles her home terrain on the shore.

The Rascal is a strong and agile trail ninja. You’ll be rewarded with speed for being precise in where you pump and jump. Miscalculations aren't taken kindly, though.
Power is transferred well from the pedals to the rear wheel
Suspension generates speed from body inputs exceptionally well
Sharp and agile handling brings excitement to all types of trails
Becomes skittish on steeper trails (up and downhill)
A few components will keep you on the edge of control (easy to change for personal preference)
No geometry adjustments or size-specific chainstay lengths

The Revel Rascal got a lot right with the first release, and V2 nearly perfects this winning trail bike formula.
CBF suspension climbs and descends efficiently with minimal compromise
Sensible geometry that’s both comfortable and progressive
High quality build
Stealthy quiet
V2 geometry changes could put the bike out of reach for some of the smallest riders
Frame protection bolts and glue fail quickly
