The Revolt X Advanced Pro 1M/L (56cms) is a 2023 model with a 1x SRAM Rival 10x52 set-up. It is only available for collection in person in the Stockport area. This bike features wireless SRAM AXS/Etap gearing, a Rudy XPLR Rock Shox suspension, a carbon frame and wheels, and a dropper seatpost. It was purchased in February 2024 and has been ridden for less than 900kms total from April to October.
This bike is perfect for riders who want the sleek compliance and modern look of Giant's standard Revolt frame, but with some extra capability thanks to its practical full suspension (front fork and rear dropper seat with dampening). The wireless shifting (a mix of SRAM Rival and Eagle GX), Rock Shox Rudy xplr fork, Post Moderne Dropper seatpost, and Carbon CX-1 Wheels all contribute to the bike's excellent handling and make for a spritely and comfortable ride. The carbon wheels and suspension also give a really "light" riding experience. The bike has won numerous awards and was voted Bike Radar's bike of the year in 2023.
I have thoroughly enjoyed riding this bike across a variety of terrain. It handles gravel, mud, and any off-road routes with ease, but also has a similar feel to a road bike due to its geometry and drop handlebar. Despite its 45mm tyres, I have found that I can ride within 10% of my average road cycling speed when using it on the road. The massive gearing also makes it a breeze to cycle up any gradient.
The bike has been excellently maintained and is free from any major mechanical issues. However, there are a couple of imperfections that do not affect the ride experience and are barely visible when looking at the bike. Please see the final four photos for reference:
- Small 3mm paint chip near the rear drop out (caught it against my kitchen cupboard - but I do have a matching paint stick to cover any blemishes)
- Graze/scratch to the rear derailleur (caught it on a low wall and scrubbed against it)
- Little graze to the bar tape/bar end bottle cage - I placed the cage in the lower position, which means that two bottles cannot sit flush together (see photos of the bike in outside settings for reference). This has not been a problem with two bottles
