The Radavist

More than 3 million people in the US and Canada experience a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year. Revel is partnering up with Love Your Brain to improve their lives…

Every $5 donation to this campaign gets you one chance to win this custom-painted Rascal, built with quite the kit.

More about Love Your Brain:

Love Your Brain is a nonprofit on a mission to improve the lives of people affected by traumatic brain injury. We’ve teamed up with Revel Bikes because we believe:

-Through awareness and mindfulness, people are best equipped to make brain-healthy decisions (like wearing helmets when riding bikes!)
-When a TBI does occur, people affected need a supportive and compassionate community
-The experience of TBI is complex, unique, and often misunderstood, and needs to be seen, recognized, and supported by all

Revel’s new Ranger XC bike is a lighter and snappier version of its big sibling, the Rascal. Designed around a 29×2.6″ or 27.5×2.8″ wheelset, the Ranger is a 120mm front and 115mm rear travel bike, build on a CBF-engineered chassis. Think lightweight but still capable. The Ranger comes in three build kits, ranging from $4,999 to $9,999 and a frameset, which is priced at $2,799. You can pre-order now at Revel with a mid-July delivery estimate. See more at Revel.

With all bike demos being postponed or canceled in the foreseeable future, Revel bikes have decided to sell off their demo fleet. You can contact them for some sweet deals and help keep this small company afloat.

Speaking of floating, check out their latest edit, featuring their newest rider Brady Tweedy ripping a Rascal 130mm 29er which is one of you bikes you can get a screaming deal on.

CSS Composites has been working on new recyclable carbon technology dubbed Fusion-Fiber for some time now and have partnered with Revel Bikes to produce their new US-made wheels! What differentiates these wheels from other offerings is that the material is 100% recyclable. Not 1%, not 10%, 100%! This is huge when you consider how much carbon material is thrown away!

This technology inspired Revel to produce their first-ever rim, the RW30.

Revel has rims and wheels available now in 27.5 and 29”. The RW30 is an enduro/trail-rated rim. The 27.5 rim weighs 440 grams and the 29er weighs 470 grams. Of course, Revel worked with their good friends at Industry Nine, and all complete Revel wheels will be built with their hubs. Wheels are available with 1/1 or Hydra hubs and Sapim D-light spokes.

Rims retail for $700 each, 1/1 complete wheels are $1975 and Hydra complete wheels are $2200.

Perhaps you read Locke’s review of the Rascal earlier and are intrigued by Revel’s offering but weren’t feeling the colors available. Well, the brand just announced a new color for their flagship enduro bike, modeled after T1000 in the Terminator franchise. These slick and silver steeds are now shipping from Revel, so head over to poke around their site.

Hailing from Carbondale, CO, Revel Bikes launched today, addressing the modern concerns for the all-mountain rider. Their Rail 27.5″ and Rascal 29er utilizes CBF suspension design and offer a tuned ride for any terrain. Head to Revel Bikes to read more!
