Overview
Built to Explore
We took the legendary CBF™ suspension platform somewhere it’s never been before; think XC light, XC efficiency, with the extra dose of that bottomless CBF™ feel. It is over a pound lighter than the Rascal frame and tough enough to inspire confidence on the descents. Its right at home at the start line of a marathon race, all day in the mountains or just rallying the local trails after work. Welcome to the Ranger- a bike that takes modern XC suspension to a whole new level.

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.

After a few weeks aboard the Revel Ranger, it’s proven to be as efficient, agile, and stable as it is stylish. There are aspects I love about a bike that has relatively modern geo, but can punch above its especially light weight on technical terrain.Read more...
Like other bikes in the Revel family, the Ranger’s suspension feels impressively pedal efficient without giving anything up when it comes to suspension performance when it’s needed. For a bike this small, the suspension is eye-opening when things get rough. Read more...
While being a very fun and efficient 115mm travel bike, you can also ride this thing like a hooligan and really push the limits of what a short travel bike is capable of. Read more...

Revel Derailleur Hanger
The Details
Design Features
29x2.6" Tire Clearance
Short travel, big tires. The Ranger was designed to accept up to 2.6 tires to make it even more capable on the down while still quick and nimble on the climb.
CBF™ Suspension
The CBF™ Suspension is what makes the positive uphill and downhill performance of the Ranger possible. Less pedal bob, stable under braking forces, and a bottomless feel keep the Ranger from hardly ever feeling out-gunned.
Fully Guided Internal Tubing
Simple, quiet cable routing! Fully guided internal tubes make maintenance and replacing cables a dream.
Colorado Quality
All Revel bikes are designed, tested, inspected, and assembled by skilled bike nerds in Carbondale, CO.
Bottles for miles
The Ranger frame is built out with 3 sets of bottle bolt bosses to accommodate a large range of bottle amounts, sizes, and other tasty beverages.
Integrated Headset
Simple, easy maintenance with no need for fancy tools. All Revels have integrated headsets with carbon bearing seats for a quiet ride and easy replaceability.
Threaded Bottom Bracket
Simple, easy, straightforward, and standard. We believe threaded BBs are key to any bike for all the practical reasons.
Support
We do not – We found the leverage curve of our bikes leaves the shock very tunablee. We have successfully set up riders from 95 lbs. to well over 230 lbs.
The Ranger is not compatible with any chainguides or bashguards currently on the market.
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. The Ranger can fit an additional small bottle above the shock on the inside of the front triangle on large and extra large frames! For medium frames, the upper mount works for tool/accessory storage!
52mm Chainline
36T Round / 34T Oval
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.
We almost exclusively recommend the Push micro-coil for the Ranger. We tested every other coil shock on the market. you will love it.
We did not the design the Ranger to be ridden as a mullet so we would not recommend it!
