At Home in the DIrt

THE CARBON GRAVEL RIDE OF YOUR DREAMS

Revel’s gravel bike, the Rover, was a natural progression for the engineering team here in Carbondale. Following years of experience with titanium and carbon fiber bikes, we knew it wouldn’t be long until we brought our tried-and-true titanium gravel modern geometry and our carbon fiber molding abilities together to create one of the most capable gravel bikes on the market. Our engineers were able to work some magic giving the Rover one of the best combinations of tire and chainring clearance of any gravel bike, while retaining the fully guided internal cable routing that makes set up a breeze.

From the starting line to the backcountry

BUILT FOR SPEED AND VERSATILITY

With experience in titanium gravel bikes starting in 2016 with the release of the R+, Revel Bikes confidently turned to engineer a carbon fiber gravel bike while taking full advantage of the ability to shape the carbon exactly how we want. We set out to specially design a frame and fork, with just the right amount of dampening to smooth out those long days in the saddle. Prioritizing versatility in its use, we designed the Rover around the SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger and loaded the frame up with 4 sets of bottle bosses to ensure the Rover will be right at home at a gravel race start line or on backroads adventures.

Support

CAN I RUN A FRONT DERAILLEUR ON THE ROVER?

The Rover is designed to be 1x drivetrain specific and is therefore not compatible with front derailleurs

Can I run Shimano Di2 on the Rover?

Yes, Di2 can be run with a junction box at the handlebars and the battery in the seat tube. The battery cable will use the dropper routing port and the derailleur wire will run through the standard derailleur cable port. Please check Shimano Di2 Documentation for specific parts and compatibility information.

IS THE ROVER DROPPER POST COMPATIBLE?

Yes! The Rover has a dedicated, fully guided internal routing for a 27.2mm seatpost diameter dropper post. And our GRX group comes standard with the left shifter being your Dropper Remote.

CAN I RUN A GRAVEL-SPECIFIC SUSPENSION FORK ON THE ROVER?

No - this will void the frame warranty. We haven't tested our Rover for the longer A-C of gravel suspension forks. But we prototyped our carbon frame and fork like crazy to settle on a really smooth, comfortable riding gravel bike, so we're confident you'll be extremely pleased with the ride quality!

WHAT IS THE LARGEST WATER BOTTLE I CAN RUN ON A REVEL?

The Rover was designed to fit 3 22oz water bottles inside the front triangle of M-XXL sizes and 2 22oz water bottles inside the front triangle of the size small. Additionally, we have included a set of bottle bosses under the downtube for additional bottle or storage carrying capacity on all sizes!

WHAT CHAINLINE SHOULD I RUN ON THE ROVER?

The Rover is designed to accomodate either a 45mm chainline or 47.5mm chainline.

WHAT IS THE LARGEST CHAINRING I CAN RUN ON A REVEL?

50T round chainring at a 47.5mm chainline or 46T round chainring at 45mm chainline.

WHAT IS THE CROWN RACE ANGLE ON THE ROVER FORK?

36 degrees

CAN I PUT A MOUNTAINBIKE CASSETTE ON THE ROVER?

Yes you can, just make sure the chain has enough length for the 52t in the rear! Currently only available with wireless shifting.

CAN I PUT FLAT BARS ON A ROVER?

Sure can, not highly recommended based on Geometry, but it does not void warranty.

CAN THIS BE USED AS A CYCLOCROSS BIKE?

Of course it can, while it is not yet UCI Certified, we think this would make a great Cross bike if you do not want to have a specific bike for Gravel and Cross.

DOES THIS BIKE HAVE RACK OR FENDER MOUNTS?

No, this does not. If you want to get a little more out there on your Gravel Bike, check out the Revel R+
