After a month and 200+ miles aboard the new Revel Ranger, loaded and unloaded, and on everything from fast-paced rides to slower trail miles, Neil shares all the details on Revel’s first major update to the bike since the V2 launched in 2023. He covers what’s the same, what’s changed, how it rides, the build kit, bikepacking performance, and much more.
