revolt advanced 2

The Giant Revolt Advanced 2 is a highly versatile carbon gravel bike that strikes an ideal balance between speed, comfort, and rugged capability. For 2026, it features an Advanced-grade composite frame and fork that have been lightened by over 160g compared to the previous model. This updated version introduces integrated down tube storage, allowing you to carry tools, tubes, and snacks securely within the frame to maintain a clean aesthetic and improve the bike's center of gravity.

The Revolt is defined by its adaptability, highlighted by the Flip Chip dropout at the rear. This hardware allows you to adjust the wheelbase: the "Short" setting provides quick, agile handling for racing, while the "Long" setting adds stability for high-speed descents and increases tire clearance up to 53mm. Combined with D-Fuse technology in the handlebars and seatpost—engineered to flex and absorb road chatter—the Revolt Advanced 2 ensures a smooth ride over harsh surfaces while remaining laterally stiff for efficient climbing and sprinting.
