I'd love to know the split between on-road and off-road for most gravel bikes in the UK. ![]() ![]() Ran it with a Jones Bar for additional hand positions and long ride comfort.įor UK use where gravel bikes really come into their own is as an "endurance" CX bike - clearance, eyelets, relaxed geo etc, enabling a mixed commute or leisure ride.

According to Giant, the frame's lower seat stay junction and thin-diameter seat tubes improve rear-end compliance without sacrificing the stiffness needed for sprinting and climbing. The suspension fork is paired with a frameset and cockpit engineered for compliance - and compatibility with suspension. The Advanced Pro X1 runs a RockShox Rudy Ultimate XPLR and the other models get a RockShox Rudy XPLR - there is also an Advanced Pro 0 model that is not available in the UK, which comes with Fox 32 Float AX Performance Elite fork. The new gravel machine is available under two model names: Advanced Pro X (three configurations) and X 1.Īll of the Revolt models get 40mm of travel provided by the suspension fork. The new X has taken the original Revolt that has been around for more than a decade and changed it thoroughly to meet the desires of those who love chunky gravel. The Advanced composite frame maximizes pedaling power, giving Revolt Advanced a smooth, fast ride quality on variable riding surfaces.2023 Giant Revolt_X_Advanced_Pro_2_Product_WebRes_17.jpg, by Giant Bicycles.Ik heb het nu over de jaren ’90 van de vorige eeuw.
