In keeping with the tradition of making the bikes we want to ride, we are thrilled to announce the new Revel Ranger!
The 29er Ranger provides cross-country feel and weight along with fun and punchy downhill capabilities. It has 115mm in the rear, 120mm up front, and a modern 67.5° head angle, and 75.3° seat angle.
This bike is made with one thing in mind- to enjoy the ups as much as the downs. We love the Rascal, but we wanted something a little lighter and faster. So we took the legendary CBF platform somewhere it’s never been. Think XC light, XC efficiency, with the extra-high punch of that bottomless CBF feel. It is over a pound lighter than the Rascal frame and tough enough to inspire confidence on the descents. The result is a mountain bike that is right at home at the start line of a race, all day in the mountains, or simply rallying the local trails after work.
The Ranger has 115mm of rear travel, 120mm up front, and 29er wheels. The head angle is 67.5 degrees with a 75.3-degree seat angle. Combined with reasonable-yet-modern reach and chainstay numbers make this bike feel ridiculously well-balanced, climbing, descending, and especially cornering.
The Ranger has fully encased internal cable routing as our other two bikes and includes routing for a rear shock lockout. There are water bottle mounts on the top and bottom of the downtube. We also added a set of mounts towards the font of the main triangle to mount accessories. The Ranger also has ample tire clearance for any 29×2.6 tire.
With a name like the Ranger, we had to make at least one bike forest green colored, and it is aptly named “Johnny Green Jeans.”
We also have a bit more timeless graphite black option we like to call “De La Coal.”
