The Giant Revolt is a capable gravel bike that is sold at a very good price. You’ll enjoy riding this bike away from the city’s tarmacked roads and air pollution.

• Giant is a reputable bicycle company, so this bike is also ideal if you’re looking to buy your first gravel bike from a known and trusted brand.

• The alloy frame is not as smooth as a bike with carbon, titanium, or even a steel frame. It is a little bit harsh, but this is not a deal-breaker for the price of this bike.
• This bike has a Giant D-Fuse, alloy seatpost that is designed to be flexible and reduce vibrations. This makes seating on the bike more comfortable because the road shocks are absorbed by the seatpost.
•  The carbon fork also does an excellent job of taking up vibration to make your ride smooth.
• The Giant Revolt has ample tire clearance of up to 45c tires. So you can fit the wheels you like for better comfort and grip.
• The bike’s Giant Conduct hydraulic brakes use a Tiagra mechanical lever to activate a Tektro hydraulic stopping system placed on the stem. I know it sounds technical, but these brakes work better than full mechanical brakes. However, performance is not as good as full hydraulic brakes. The brake pads squeal a lot, so you will need to keep them lubricated at all times.
• The Revolt’s variety of gears gives you plenty of options for easier climbing and descending.
• The tubeless-ready wheels ensure you get fewer flat tires when riding and better traction.

The Giant Revolt looks pretty sleek with a nice paint job, decent wields, and a carbon fiber fork. It performs well on gravel and can be used for other types of riding. Buy it if you want a good gravel bike but don’t want to spend too much cash on it.
