Shipping and returns
Shipping and returns
Shipping and order processing times may fluctuate depending on order demand and the global shipping environment. Revel will notify the customer of our best estimated shipping lead time, however, these times are subject to change due to part availability and supply chain constraints. Complete bikes are fully assembled, test ridden, and then disassembled before they are carefully packed into our shipping cartons.
This process requires great attention to detail to ensure the best ride quality of our bikes right out of the box and we appreciate your patience with build timeframes.

FAQ
REVEL MAKES TITANIUM BIKES?!
We do now! Well, in a way, we always have… our sister company, Why Cycles, has been manufacturing the most advanced titanium bikes in the world since 2016. We're retiring the Why Cycles brand, so now you can find the most advanced carbon and titanium bikes on the market under one name - Revel Bikes.
WHERE ARE REVEL TI BIKES MADE?
Revel titanium frames are lovingly hand-built in the same family-owned and operated factory in northern China used by Why Cycles for a half-decade. All Revel bikes are then assembled and shipped from our facility in Carbondale, CO.
WHY AREN'T THERE ANY COMPLETE BUILDS AVAILABLE FOR THE WAYWARD?
The Wayward is an incredible platform for your ultimate custom adventure build. We've found that most riders going on epic rides with the Wayward prefer to build their bike up by selecting every part to suit their needs. If picking every part sounds daunting, just reach out to any Revel dealer for advice on parts or a pro mechanic to do the build.
SHOULD I GET THE WAYWARD OR THE EL JEFE?
It depends. Get the Wayward if you're looking for a bikepacking-first rig that can comfortably handle hefty loads on rugged backcountry excursions. Get the El Jefe if you're looking for a ripping fast hardtail that can bikepack when it needs to.
UDH COMPATIBLE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
We've updated all Revel Ti bikes with SRAM UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger), so replacement hangers are easier to find and your bike's drivetrain is more future-proof against manufacturer updates down the line.
WHAT FORK DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR THE WAYWARD?
Any 29" fork with clearance for plus tires will work. We recommend a minimum of 2.8" but it depends on the tires you'd like to run. The Rockshox Pike is a great choice that fits 29x3.0" tires. A suspension corrected rigid fork is a great option for more mounting and bikepacking features.
CAN I RUN A RIGID FORK ON THE WAYWARD?
Yes! Just make sure that you've got enough tire clearance and the axle-to-crown length is as close to 510mm as possible.
CAN I RUN A BELT DRIVE ON THE WAYWARD?
Yes! Check with the belt drive manufacturer for specifications.
WHAT TIRE SIZE CAN I RUN ON THE WAYWARD?
Up to 29" x 3.0.
WHAT IS THE TORQUE FOR THE TI SLIDING DROPOUT BOLTS?
15-18Nm for the dropout bolts, 3-4Nm for the tensioner bolt.
IS THE WAYWARD'S HEADTUBE ANGLE MEASURED AT SAG?
Yes!
WHAT IS THE SPECIFICATION OF THE LONGITUDINAL TENSIONER BOLT?
M5 x 0.8 x 35mm Stainless steel cap screw.
WHAT'S THE BEST FRAME BAG FOR MY WAYWARD?
We love the bags we've seen and used from companies like Rogue Panda, Oveja Negra and Good Busy Gear.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO POLISH MY TITANIUM FRAME?
We recommend using some rubbing alcohol and a Scotch Brite pad and scrubbing gently in a "shoe-shine" motion (one direction or back and forth, not circular), then wiping down and finishing with a light coat of furniture polish like Pledge. This should work for both oxidation and light scratches. The graphics are sand-blasted into the frame, so you won't hurt them if you use a soft touch.
IS MY WHY CYCLES BIKE STILL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY?
Absolutely! All Why Cycles and Revel Bikes frames come with lifetime warranties and a generous crash replacement program for the original purchaser. If anything does happen and you need a replacement frame, it will most likely be replaced with a Revel branded titanium frame, but we’ll get you back to riding ASAP!
