The Revolt range is Giant’s family of gravel bikes. Starting at $1,350 / £1,199 for the alloy framed version, this is the range-topper carbon version. 

The Advanced Pro range tested here was developed to be more of a racer rather than a multi day tourer. It boasts an impressive weight of 8.27 kg (Size medium) and is said to be Giant’s most lightweight, compliant, responsive and efficient gravel bike yet. It has been developed in conjunction with top gravel racers to meet the demands of long and fast courses.
