Cycling Weekly Verdict

The Revelator Prestige is a fantastic bike that’s been a pleasure to test over the past few weeks. The paintjob is eye-catching and sparked conversations with other riders, many of whom hadn’t seen it before or heard of the brand. The componentry is top-end and complements the bike to give a great all-round ride. Fast on any terrain, this is a machine that will also see most through a sportive comfortably. Although the price may deter some riders, especially those in thrall to the big-name brands, few who buy this bike will regret their decision.
