Giant Revolt Advanced 2 (2025) ML

The Revolt Advanced 2 is a high-end gravel bike designed for riders who demand versatility, comfort, and performance over mixed terrain. In size ML, it is ideal for riders approx 174-186 cm tall (≈ 5′9″-6′1″).

Key Features & Construction

• Frame & Fork:
  Advanced-grade composite frame & full composite fork. The frame uses a thru-axle design (12×142 mm rear) and disc brakes. A “flip chip” on the rear dropout lets you alter geometry: you can shift between a shorter wheelbase for more agile steering, or a longer setting for enhanced stability and increased tire clearance (up to 53 mm) when in the “long” position.

• Tire Clearance & Versatility:
  In “long” flip chip setting: up to 53 mm tires. This gives you great options for gravel, rougher roads, mixed surfaces. In “short,” somewhat less clearance but more nimble handling.

• Comfort Elements:
  The bike includes D-Fuse technology: a D-shaped composite seatpost and a flared (wider) handlebar designed to absorb vibrations and improve comfort over long rides. Also, dropped seatstays and slimmer tubing help tame harshness.

• Storage & Integration:
  There’s an internal storage compartment in the down tube for tools, snacks, or small items. Cables are routed internally for a sleek cockpit. There are additional mounts on top tube, fork, and rear dropout for accessories like fenders or packs.

Components & Drivetrain

• Drivetrain:

  • Shimano GRX RX-820 for derailleurs (front & rear)

  • Shimano GRX RX-610 shifters (hydraulic, 2×12)

  • Crankset: FSA Omega Modular AGX+ with a 32/48 chainring setup, size-appropriate crank arm lengths (ML uses 172.5 mm)

  • Cassette: 12-speed, 11-36 tooth cassette gives a broad range suitable for steep climbs and faster flats.

  • Brakes:
    Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes (RX-400) with 160 mm rotors front and rear, offering strong stopping power in varied conditions.

Wheels, Tires, Geometry & Fit (Size ML specifics)

• Wheels/Tires:
  Giant P-X2 Disc alloy wheelset. Tires are tubeless-ready (often shipped tubeless), stock size 700x40c / 700x40c, with tread for all-terrain grip (Crosscut Grip TR or similar). In long flip chip setting you can fit up to 53 mm tires.

• Geometry, ML (Medium-Large):
  Some ML-specific geometry numbers (short vs long flip chip):

• Cockpit & Fit:
  Handlebar width ~ 44 cm on ML. Stem length ~ 80 mm. Seatpost offset 14 mm (D-Fuse). Saddle in Giant “Grit” or “Approach” depending on retailer/stock.

• Sizing:
  As said above: ML = approx 174-186 cm. Fit depends on reach, torso, leg length. With adjustable flip chip you can fine-tune stability vs agility
