The New 2025 Giant Revolt Gravel Bike: A Comprehensive Review

The 2025 Giant Revolt is a significant upgrade in the gravel bike segment, offering new features and improved performance over previous models. Here's a detailed look at what makes this bike stand out.

Introduction and Overview

Gravel bikes have surged in popularity over the past year, overtaking road bike sales due to their enhanced capabilities with minimal efficiency loss. They excel when the pavement ends and the gravel begins, offering the best exploration experience. The 2025 Giant Revolt perfectly embodies this trend, pushing new limits and redefining gravel riding. The Revolt Advanced 0, in particular, has become Pushbikes' best seller, showcasing its popularity.

Gravel bikes serve two defined user groups: those seeking to ride as efficiently as possible and those using them for multi-day exploration. This versatility is one of the great things about gravel bikes—they can cover multiple bases. The latest model continues this tradition with advances in frame construction, reducing weight while increasing stiffness and strength.

Introduced over a decade ago, the Revolt has been part of gravel’s evolution since the beginning, helping riders go further, faster, and explore more on their rides. Each generation since has built on this foundation, adding innovations like the D-Fuse seatpost and flip chip technology for comfort and versatility. The latest 2025 model continues with advances in frame construction, reducing weight while increasing stiffness and strength.

Fourth Generation Frame

The fourth generation of the Giant Revolt introduces new features such as internal cable routing and an integrated storage solution for carrying essentials. The new range includes two series: Revolt Advanced Pro and Revolt Advanced, both built on lightweight composite (carbon) framesets. The Revolt now features fully integrated cable housing for clean, sleek lines, along with the D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar to absorb shocks and vibrations. The flip chip on the composite rear dropout allows for wheelbase and tyre clearance adjustments, providing greater control and reduced fatigue. Riders can choose between the included D-Fuse seatpost, a 30.9mm round seatpost, or a dropper post. Additional frame mounts and internal storage further enhance the bike’s versatility and convenience.

Differences Between the Revolt Models

All models feature internal cable routing for a clean new look, integrated storage compartments, and a flip chip on the rear dropout that allows adjustment of the wheelbase and tyre clearance up to 53mm. They also offer compatibility with dropper posts, traditional seatposts, or the D-Fuse seatpost, providing options suited for competitive riders or those demanding top performance on gravel and mixed terrain.
