Review: The Revel Rascal V2 is a Live Wire Trail Bike

May 2024 · Matt Beer

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.

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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

Revel Rascal Nails Sophomore Release [Review]

Feb 2024 · Jeff Barber

The Revel Rascal got a lot right with the first release, and V2 nearly perfects this winning trail bike formula.

Highs
  • CBF suspension climbs and descends efficiently with minimal compromise

  • Sensible geometry that’s both comfortable and progressive

  • High quality build

  • Stealthy quiet

Lows
  • V2 geometry changes could put the bike out of reach for some of the smallest riders

  • Frame protection bolts and glue fail quickly
