The Perfect Blend of Tradition and Innovation in a Titanium Hardtail
There is often a satisfaction in mountain biking that only a classic, well-designed hardtail can provide. The simplicity, connection to the trail, and absolute fun you get out of these bikes are what make them so attractive.
The Revel Tirade, a titanium hardtail trail bike, draws inspiration from Revel’s full-suspension Rascal. Incorporating a 140mm fork, progressive geometry, and adaptable chainstay lengths, it embodies a dream hardtail trail bike. Shorter seat tube lengths with ample insertion depth have been designed to accommodate longer dropper posts, allowing riders to tailor it to their preferred riding style.
Slam those sliders in, and the 425mm chainstays make for a manual-friendly jib machine. Slide them back a bit, and you get a stable, capable trail shredder. Whether opting for a single-speed setup or multiple gears, the choice is yours.
The heart and soul of this bike is Revel’s modern take on traditional titanium. This frame is made using cold-formed 3/2.5 titanium tubing to achieve its stunning looks while optimizing stiffness and compliance.
To meet the demands for increased strength, the headtube, bottom bracket shell, and dropouts are CNC machined from solid blocks of 6/4 titanium, emphasizing durability and resilience.
