SPEED AND EFFICIENCY

The Rascal is back and the absolute best it has ever been!  Now with the all-new lightweight Rascal SL frame option (available in our 2 new colorways – Prickly Pear, and Space Dust), it takes speed and efficiency on the up and down to the next level with an advanced carbon layup and nearly 200g lighter than its predecessor.

balance perfected

THE ULTIMATE QUIVER KILLER

The Rascal provides perfected balance and stability, pairing 130mm of CBF-driven rear travel, a 140mm fork, and a progressive trail geometry making this bike a trail-slaying machine.  The original Rascal holds strong in the lineup offered in a reliable build and delivering the best value on the market.  Whether you choose the ultra-light Rascal SL or the old faithful OG Rascal, this bike is the best climber, the sturdiest descender, and likely, your best new trail friend.

"Ever since it first launched, the Revel Rascal has been one of my favorite bikes. Now, it's gotten even better thanks to a new carbon layup. It wasn't that long ago that the Rascal already dropped some weight with the updated V2."

"The Revel Rascal SL is here and it is awesome! It got a little lighter this year and with 130mm of rear travel and an insanely fun CBF suspension design. This bike might just be the bike that every one needs in their quiver!"

"It might only be 140/130mm of travel, but the new Rascal impressed me with how easily it tackled tough climbs—and then handled everything I threw at it on the descents. I never once questioned if it could handle a feature—it just did. It’s also super nimble, which made ripping through corners an absolute blast."

DO YOU OFFER A LIGHT SHOCK TUNE FOR LIGHTER RIDERS?

We do not – We found the leverage curve of our bikes leaves the shock very tunable. We have successfully set up riders from 95 lbs. to well over 230 lbs.

CAN I RUN A COIL SHOCK ON THE RASCAL?

We only recommend the Push ELEVENSIX coil shock.

What Size shock and mounting hardware are used on the Rascal?

The shock size is 210x50mm. The mounting hardware size is 25x8mm.

What is the recommended fork to use on the Rascal?

The Rascal was designed to use a 140mm fork with a 44mm offset and an axle-to-crown length of 547-551mm. You may use a 150mm fork with a maximum axle-to-crown length of 561mm.

Can I use a longer shock to get more travel out of the Rascal?

No you cannot and while we love experimenting and innovation, doing so will void the warranty.

How much rear shock sag should i run on the Rascal?

30% is the recommended amount of sag to run on the Rascal. Start with 30% then you can adjust +/- 5% for a slightly softer or firmer ride.

How many volume spacers come in the stock fork and shock?

RockShox Super Deluxe Shock has 2 spacers.
Rockshox Lyrik Fork has 1 volume spacer.

Fox Float X has a 0.4 volume spacer.
Fox Float 36 fork has 2 volume spacers.

Can I use a 27.5" rear wheel to ride the Rascal in a "Mullet" configuration?

No we do not recommend doing this. The Rasal was designed to be ridden as a full 29er and performs at its best in this configuration.

What type of Bottom Bracket does the Rascal use?

The Rascal uses a BSA 73mm threaded bottom bracket.

What bash guard / chainring protection can I run on the Rascal?

The Rascal features ISCG-05 tabs. This is a common mounting standard for chainguides and bash guards that you can find from great companies like MRP, OneUp, and E13.

What is the largest chainring I can run on the Rascal?

36T ROUND / 34T OVAL.

Pivot Assembly Overview

»   For detailed view and part information on specific pivots, please download the tech manual.

»    Ensure all bolts are torqued to spec listed in this manual and on bolt head.

»   All bolts are right hand threaded but have hex profiles on either end. If turning the bolt from the threaded side, turning counter clockwise will tighten the bolt

»   Bolts come with Nylock patch installed. This serves the function of thread looker and can be reused for multiple installations. Verify condition of patch before assembly. If patch looks worn or damaged add Blue Loctite 243.

»   It is easier to tighten linkage assembly to torque once it has been fully assembled. Similarly it is easiset to break bolts free when linkage is fully assembled.

»   All images shown in exploded views of pivots correspond to exploded view on Page 4 of Tech Manual.
