Revolt Advanced SL
GRAVEL CRUSHER
The lightest, fastest gravel race bike ever built by Giant. Engineered as a system to deliver a competitive edge over long, demanding gravel efforts, the new Revolt Advanced SL combines aero efficiency with smooth, precise handling, helping you hold speed when others fade.
Key Performance Factors
ULTRALIGHT EFFICIENCY
The new frame and fork are handcrafted using our highest-grade Advanced SL composite, making this the lightest Revolt ever. The frame and fork save 176g compared to the previous generation Revolt Advanced Pro, while a new Contact SLR XR Integrated Handlebar, lighter WheelSystem, and CADEX GXR 45mm tyres add up to a total system weight savings of 288g*. The lighter weight and wider tyres result in more dynamic handling, faster acceleration, and greater climbing efficiency.
AERO SPEED OVER DISTANCE
Aerodynamic efficiency compounds over hours. The Revolt Advanced SL’s aero tube shaping is optimised for real gravel race speeds of 30–45 km/h, reducing frontal drag across the frameset, fork and cockpit. Combined with new WheelSystems and tyres designed as a single aerodynamic unit, the system delivers 18.99 watts of total resistance reduction versus the previous Revolt Advanced Pro. Lower drag over multiple hours means less fatigue, higher sustainable speed, and measurable time savings at the finish line.
RACE-TUNED GEOMETRY
With a 557mm stack and 395mm reach (size M), a steeper 74.5° seat tube angle and a 1,033mm wheelbase with 433mm chainstays, the new Revolt Advanced SL puts riders in an aggressive, aerodynamic race posture. Forward, low and efficient. At race pace on loose terrain, it feels fast, precise and composed. Optimised for 45mm tyres with 53mm maximum clearance, it’s purpose-built for modern gravel racing.
Highlights
1
AEROSYSTEM SHAPING
Advanced aero tube shaping is applied across the entire frameset, fork and cockpit to minimise air turbulence and reduce frontal drag at gravel race speeds of 30–45 km/h. Every profile is optimised as part of the total system, not in isolation.
2
ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE
Professional-grade raw carbon is woven in the Giant composite factory using the most advanced engineering and construction methods. Continuous Fiber Technology adds strength and minimises weight.
3
CONTACT SLR XR INTEGRATED HANDLEBAR
A one-piece aero cockpit weighs just 295g, and delivers an enhanced aerodynamic profile. Designed with fully integrated cable routing for SRAM AXS and Shimano Di2, and ergonomic geometry optimised across all riding positions.
4
CADEX MAX GXR WHEELSYSTEM*
An elite gravel race wheel built around a one-piece hub and spoke structure with a 50mm rim depth for maximum power transfer and aerodynamic efficiency. High-tensile bladed carbon spokes with hidden titanium nipples deliver superior stiffness and acceleration. A 60-tooth ratchet with wave spring provides instant engagement. Wide Guard reinforced 5mm sidewalls offer high impact resistance and pinch-flat protection. System weight: 1,280g.
5
CADEX GXR TYRE
Designed specifically for high-intensity gravel racing with a fast-rolling centre tread, reshaped shoulder knobs, and a streamlined casing to improve aerodynamic efficiency, reduce rolling resistance and deliver confident grip over variable terrain. Rolling resistance is 3.03 watts lower per bike than the CADEX GX 40mm tyre.

RACE-TUNED GEOMETRY
Lower stack (557mm vs. 586mm, size M), longer reach (395mm), steeper seat tube angle (74.5° vs. 73.5°) and a 1,033mm wheelbase with 433mm chainstays put riders in an aggressive aerodynamic race position. The geometry is optimised for high-speed stability, precise cornering on loose gravel, and confident descending.
7
D-FUSE TECHNOLOGY
Proprietary D-shaped composite seatpost works to dampen vibrations and absorb road shock, resulting in a smooth, compliant ride quality.
8
OVERDRIVE
Updated oversized headset bearings and fullcomposite OverDrive steerer provide increased frontal and lateral fork stiffness—delivering sharper steering response and more confident handling at race pace.
