Excellent geometry and huge tyre clearence, nice comfort and ability to carry speed on rough terrain. I love the Revolt! Happy to see chainstay protection and downtube storage. Will be a good upgrade for my 2022 model someday-)
@@dusty_hoods You'll get better tyre clearence if you need. Just imagine running 54mm Thunder Barts with wide 24-25mm internal width rim and superlow tyre pressure through sands or forest fire roads on that beast 🚀🚀🚀
I love D-Fuse ♥️ The solution is simple - carbon grip paste. I did it on aluminum and carbon frames/seatpost - 💯 I'm making a new video - full rebuild of my Revolt. Subscribe and don't miss.
My suspicion is that there is significant enough differences in D-fuse seat tube, wedge, and screw wedge tolerances that leads to D-fuse seat tube/post issues. Not to mention installation methods/variables. Simply put, the design seems to be troublesome enough that many are frustrated. I would be more apt to purchase a Giant Revolt if it were not for the D-fuse seat tube.
I guess that's why in this model there's a QR code printed on the adapter plate that leads to the instruction manual on how to install seatpost correctly. Personally I'm totally fine with pure D-Fuse solution without any adapters, it works great - flexible, service twice a year, rode for 4 years no problem. Maybe I'm lucky 😁
@@dusty_hoods Do you know if Giant has an annual event in the fall where they announce all new models? Or do they just quietly post it on their website?
@RWayne3326 I believe no, and no one has in bike industry. Ten years ago everyone made lots of announcements at the exhibition but now social media marketing took over and brands partners with media and reviewers when new products launch.
ok now i know why revolt's seatposts are making noises all the time - what are those "plates" you put there? i my diverge i just put the seatpost into the frame and thats it
I'm watching this video because I am so badly wanting to purchase the new 2025 Giant Revolt Advanced 2, in this color way nonetheless! But it is specifically this wedge seat post clamping mechanism that turns me off. I've heard so many great things about the Giant Revolt, but I have to go with the Trek Checkpoint instead. It has a traditional external seat post clamp and Trek has moved to T47 bottom brackets for many of their bikes. Between the wedge seat post clamp and the press fit bottom bracket on the carbon Giant Revolt, I've gone with the Trek Checkpoint.
@APham-ld9do wise move. There's also the integrated cabling at the front end to deal with. Will be an expensive and time consuming nightmare to service those cables on a mechanical drivetrain.
@@APham-ld9do I've had press-fit bottom brackets on all my bikes since 2008. I don't understand what problems they create. And since the Thread Together press-fit bottom brackets appeared on the market, press-fit is the best thing in bike frames today.
@@viktorpetrovych9548, from what I've gathered on reading about press fit bottom brackets, it is indeed the best solution for bottom brackets with regard to stiffness and weight savings. There's no debating this fact, but current bike manufacturing practices apparently cannot consistently produce, specifically carbon frames, acceptable tolerances for press fit bottom brackets. Granted, manufacturers such as Giant tend to have acceptable tolerances and quality control for press fit bottom brackets, it is generally accepted that the consistently safer route for non-racing orientated, consumer bike frames is a threaded bottom bracket. Weight savings in this scenario are not typically meaningful for the casual rider. Specialized, Cannondale, and now Trek have gone back to threaded bottom brackets. That decision has to be for a reason, despite the fact that the vast majority of press fit bottom brackets may never develop an issue.
I had this creepy noise on my revolt 22' alloy, fixed by greasing with basic bike grease(green color), No problem after two weeks. I also prepared carbon grip paste, also will try if noise will appear.
From my experience while I was filming - it's a sturdy and solid peace of plastic, works perfectly, looks reliable and doesn't feel cheap. I also had a concern about sealing of the internal storage and I've asked an ambassador who did a lot of rides/races last year on this frame - no issues. So far looks promising.
Nice video, and almost perfect bike😭 Honestly, the most stupid ideas are realized here, so fucking hate this internal cable routing, just why do not do it as it was?? And storage, seriosly??? This is a serious issue for your frame...
@@volodymyrdonets4166 New trends, just give it a chance-) I don't get internal cable routing on full sus bikes but for road/gravel it seems to be ok. Probably it will require more frequent headset maintenance, before the gunk and grime gets into the bearings 🤷

I ride 2021 currently. Looking forward to upgrade.

Yes, the geometry is very comfortable and friendly)
Absolutely love the color but more bike than I can afford.
Check out Revolt 0 model it's a top specked aluminum version. I rode it for 3 years and got a video on my channel about it.
Tube storage is really sick
I'll make a separate video to show what feature closely and to see how many tools can handle a stock bag.
D-Fuse... my nightmare in my Revolt 1

Well done 👍 🎉! Excellent build video! That orange color looks amazing! Did Giant just release that 2025 version this past week or two?
It was presented last year and starts to appear in retail. And later this year I will get an Advanced Pro frameset.

Really like the look of this bike. Torn between it and a silex
They are different. Mostly in terms of geometry but also tire clearance and features.

That's a BEAUTY but I'm betting money that frame storage cover takes a dump within a year or so.

Shitty bike, i have revolt 2025 pro 1, and broke frame after one week.. 🙂
and... full story please.

I wouldn’t buy a new bike in 2025 with external cable routing
