Overview
More Travel, More Fun
Revel has spent years designing, testing, riding and refining this long-travel, high-speed machine… and with the latest updates, it not only shows, it shines. The updated Rail29 brings together Revel’s years of high-performance engineering with their fanatical commitment to perfect the details to create a hard charging, yet uniquely nimble platform. Without the need for major platform and geometry changes, Revel brought simplicity to this update: more travel, more colors, and more fun. Now spec’d with a 170 fork, this bike is ready for anything you got.
Coming out swinging in 2024 with a longer fork, all new build specs and two remarkable new colors, the Rail29 is hitting well above its weight class. Taking direct feedback from employee and customer ride experiences alike, Revel is giving the Rail29 just what is needs, taking its fork spec from a 160mm to 170mm. More travel means as the ride gets rowdy, this bike comes right back at it wanting more, providing the ultimate confidence at the start line, between the tape, and in the park.
As all Revel color names come to life, the new colors were named at a company-wide, employee brainstorm. Cowboy Coffee takes Revel to the start line of one of their favorite local trails. During the summer months, you’ll find quiet offices at Revel HQ Tuesday evenings while the employees head up to Snowmass Bike Park to race local DH series and ride till dark. The dark black with flashy gold decals pays homage to one of the favorite racecourses, the infamous Cowboy Coffee where relentless rock gardens, massive drops, and blind steeps come together for one rowdy ride. The Flow State name arrived while Revel was cruising the California coast at dawn and later ripping singletrack looking over the Pacific Ocean at dusk. In an environment unlike the Rocky Mountains, Revel found their Flow State in the presence of the ocean and is bringing this intrepid blue frame with black decals in the updated Rail29 to a trail near you.

Key Attributes
The CBF™ focuses the center of curvature in a very finite area on the chainline/top of the chainring, pointing the pedaling forces directly where you want them.

Our first impression is that Revel nailed it for technical terrain, with the right amount of suspension travel combined with a modern yet neutral geometry that rewards the majority of trail riders rather than the enduro racer. Read more...
The Revel Rail 29 is a seriously solid performer. Long after I'd ridden it enough to write this review, I kept grabbing it to go out for more rides - it was just the one I wanted to ride any time I didn't have specific plans to ride a different bike. Read more...
The suspension design is the star of the show on the downhills. It’s incredibly smooth and plush without unnecessarily blowing through the travel. Think Ibis Rimpo with a little more oomph. Little trail chatter completely disappears under you. There’s a ton of pop built into the bike too. It’s very easy to get off the ground as well as generate speed through rollers and berms.Read more...

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.
Any guide or bashguard with ISCG-05 tabs is compatible with the Rail29.
You can – You will need to order the shock directly from Fox and ensure you purchase the correct tune for our bikes. This is important to maximize how awesome your Revel can be! Fox has a tune guide for our bikes on file. Unfortunately due to our agreement with Fox, you are not able to buy Fox suspension directly from Revel unless is ships on your new bike.
22 ounces is the sweet spot – When using a side-loading water bottle cage, our frames fit a standard Revel 22-ounce water bottle. With a hands-free cap, these bottles are the best option around. Insulated bottles or larger sizes will need to be physically tested for clearance. You can also use Fidlock bottles for extra space!

Like this – Our in-house builders prefer to cross the derailleur cable over the rear brake cable. That being said, there is no wrong way; You can run the brake line and derailleur housing to cross under the bottom bracket or not. Just be sure to leave enough slack under the bottom bracket so that the bike can fully cycle through its travel without binding. A good rule of thumb is for the cables to be level with the teeth of your chainring.
Yes, the Rail29 is compatible with coil shocks from most major manufacturers.
