Bike mag always make the sensible reviews.

this "new, little" bike company is jam packed with veterans. i hope Revel and GG take over the industry. as such, i got one for myself, a birthday treat. not fond of that green tho, i got the black (de la coal).

Same!! I just got the coal. Tho getting it custom built is taking a lot time. Parts hard to get... im curious how u built urs up

Travis gets to shred, but not get a word in, what gives? Great review, sounds like a compelling bike. Some top banter too :)

Looks like a good climber. Good xc bike im sure. Got a rock stuck the other day on my genius luckily no damage really. My 2.8" hans. picked it up in the treads lol.

Was at Revel a week ago. That Ranger is an absolutely gorgeous bike. They were humbled when I told them I was considering between a Yeti and themselves...Then I went to Yeti and couldn't even talk to anyone about their bikes. Guess which brand I'm leaning towards now?

My choices came down to Transition Spur, Ibis Ripley, and the Revel Ranger - note I have not ridden any of the bikes. I was ready to pull the trigger on the Ripley but then saw the reviews on the Ranger and it just sounds like my quiver killer. Can't wait to get on it.

So much thought to designing of this frame. Really shows. But the cables running below the BB seems to be going against that.

Interested to see some comparisons with other similar bikes like the Tall Boy 4.

The best part about Revel is that they are same or better as a Yeti or an Ibis but like a grand cheaper!

is it strange that i didn't really have TOO much interest in this bike...until they mentioned it had 3 water bottle mounts? LMAO.

Concerned about that frame issue -- did the rock crack the frame or just wear the paint away?

Honestly curious - the rock that got into the chainstay - would Revel actually warranty that? Is that a “manufacturing” issue or a rider error?

@@cryx4 It all depends what do you mean by hits. If you mean continuous rock strikes, hitting big drop offs and some more rock strikes then no. Carbon is just not the right tool for that. Here in Alps we have two breads of riders more or less. And the chances that a person on a plastic bike is a rookie or rides strictly park are 90%. If you want to do serious stuff and do it often you need metal.

Surely they’d have heard or felt a rock down there. I own a rascal, if I were to get a rock in that area, my suspension would have not felt “right”... I’d have stopped in two seconds. Were they trying to see if they could mess something up???

Will epic evo make the cut or is it too XC?

hopefully next year they release this color on their rascal line. Also hoping they'll be making their bikes out of that new sustainable wonder material they're working on. (pssst also in 27.5")

Looking for a bike like this for my son Christmas 🎄 gift. Hope to have one.

I'm looking at the "technology" page of Revel's website and see a couple photos of the layup process that shows a tech wearing, what appears to be, cotton gloves and also what appears to be ply bridging, major wrinkles, and such. Are those photos representative of the actual frame building process? Quite concerning , to say the least. Toray prepreg is fantastic, but I'm a bit concerned about Revel's layup process.

What difference does the Fox setup make?

Parabéns 🇧🇷👌

Is pinkbikes Mike Kazimer narrating these bible vids??

Ranger or spur?

Isn’t that a Canfield rear linkage ?

Did the frame crack from the rock? Seems like it must have because a blemish wouldnt have poo'ed the frame.

Minor aesthetic feedback: why the huge black chevy truck in the background? Trucks are cool, I guess, in that they are useful for carrying bikes, but this breed of giant pick-up trucks is more dangerous for pedestrians and bicyclists. As a city biker who also mountain bikes, I view a truck like this more as a weapon than as a cool truck.
