Second-hand Giant Revolt: price and what to check

The Revolt is Giant's gravel bike and one of the best sellers: it is tough, easy to maintain and comes in versions for every budget, in aluminium and carbon. That is why it often turns up second-hand. If you are looking for a second-hand Giant Revolt or want to sell yours, here is how to tell its versions apart, how much to pay and what to check before you take it home.

What people ask for a used gravel bike

On bicis.net there are still too few gravel listings to calculate their own median (at least 8 are needed). The closest reference is road, because gravel bikes sell at similar prices:

Data from Ciclismo en cifras, active «Vendo» (for sale) listings as of 30 October 2026 (218 listings in total).

An aluminium Revolt with an entry-level groupset usually sits in the lower part of that range. A recent carbon Revolt Advanced, with a good groupset and wheels, moves towards the upper part. For the price of other Giants, see what people ask for a used Giant.

The Revolt versions: how to tell which one it is

Aluminium Revolt

The most affordable version, with an aluminium frame and carbon fork. It is sturdy and perfect for getting into gravel or for everyday use. It is the one you see most for sale and the first to drop in price.

Revolt Advanced (carbon)

The frame is carbon. It has the D-Fuse seatpost, D-shaped, which flexes a little to filter vibration, and on the higher versions the D-Fuse handlebar too. The Advanced Pro models have higher-grade carbon in the fork and seatpost and better builds.

The Flip Chip

Since the 2021 update, the Revolt has a part in the rear dropout that you rotate to lengthen or shorten the chainstay. In the long position it fits wider tyres and the bike is more stable; in the short one, it is more agile. If the bike you are looking at has it, check which position it is in and that the bolts aren't stripped.

Revolt X

Since 2023 there is a version with a suspension fork, a dropper post and wider tyres, for rougher tracks. Here, check the fork as you would on a mountain bike.

The current generation (from 2025)

The latest Revolt Advanced debuts a carbon rear dropout with its Flip Chip and lets you choose between the D-Fuse seatpost, a round one or a dropper. It is the one worth most second-hand.

What to check before you pay

• The D-Fuse seatpost. On generations before the current one, the seatpost is D-shaped: if you want to fit a dropper or change it, you need specific parts. Check that the seatpost isn't seized in the frame and slides in and out properly.
• The frame and fork. Gravel means stones: look for knocks on the down tube and chainstays, especially on carbon ones. If in doubt, take it to a workshop.
• The Flip Chip and dropouts. The parts should be properly tightened and without play.
• The wheels and tubeless setup. Many Revolts run tubeless. Ask when the sealant was last changed and look at the condition of the tyres.
• The disc brakes. Thickness of pads and rotors. Mud and dust wear them quickly.
• The drivetrain. Chain, cassette and chainring. Trail dust speeds up wear: a clean, lubed drivetrain says a lot about the owner.
• The paperwork. A receipt and a frame serial number that matches.

How to fine-tune the price of a used Revolt

• Up if it is an Advanced or Advanced Pro, current generation, with a good groupset, carbon wheels, up-to-date tubeless and a receipt.
• Down if it is aluminium with an entry-level groupset, if the drivetrain is worn, if the frame has knocks or if there is no paperwork.
• Extras (bikepacking bags, mudguards, bottle cages) help it sell, but add little to the price.

Selling your Giant Revolt

Put in the title whether it is aluminium or Advanced, and the year: «Giant Revolt Advanced 2 2022» is found far more easily than «Giant gravel bike». Take clean photos in daylight: the bike side-on, the drivetrain, the wheels and the dropouts. State the size, approximate kilometres and whether it runs with or without tubes. Listing your bike on bicis.net is free, and on the Giant brand page people looking for one will see it.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a second-hand Giant Revolt worth?

It depends on whether it is aluminium or Advanced, on the generation and on the build. As a reference, a used road bike on bicis.net has a median asking price of €1,100, with the middle half between €680 and €2,800 (41 listings, data as of 30 October 2026); gravel bikes sell at similar prices.

What is the difference between the Revolt and the Revolt Advanced?

The frame: the Revolt is aluminium and the Advanced is carbon, lighter and with the D-Fuse seatpost to filter vibration.

Can you fit a dropper post to a Revolt Advanced?

On the current generation, yes, because it takes round seatposts. On earlier ones, the D-Fuse seatpost means you have to find specific parts: ask a workshop before buying it with that in mind.

What is the Flip Chip for?

To choose between a more stable bike with room for wider tyres (long position) or a more agile one (short position). You change it by rotating a part in the rear dropout.
