The All-New Rascal
One Bike to Rule Them All
The all-new Rascal has been fully redesigned from the ground up to be the ultimate trail bike
and the best Revel yet. Thoughtfully updated geometry and perfected kinematics provide the
Rascal an unmatched ride quality and versatility. The Rascal is the bike that caught the industry’s
eye and put Revel on the map when we launched the brand in 2019. It quickly became our top selling
model and favorite model in the lineup for good reason: it’s proven capabilities and sheer fun factor
are second to none.
An efficient climber. A confident descender. A precision handler.
The new Rascal now has a more stable pedaling platform while maintaining that familiar
lively ride you find in all our full suspension bikes. This is achieved by pairing perfect kinematics
with the perfect geometry. With slightly improving the geometry and the exact award-winning
kinematics the Rascal is known for, the new Rascal is the best 130mm trail bike available. Paired
with a 140mm fork, this bike readies riders for anything thrown at it. Additionally, we added a fifth
size in the form on an XXL providing a properly fitting bike for tall riders. The Rascal is a bike for all;
it’s the bike you take out on an epic high-country mission one day and rip through rolling flow the
next… it is the one bike to rule them all.
As far as geometry updates go, the Rascal is now longer and slacker but not too long and too
slack, with a slightly steeper seat tube. Let’s call it modern, but not too modern. With a head tube
angle of 65.5 degrees, effective seat tube angle of 76-77 degrees depending on size, and
chainstays at 436mm, the Rascal comes to life on just about any single track anywhere in the world.
Ride quality and frame weight are every bit as important as geometry and kinematics. There
are significant improvements to the carbon layup and the frame is noticeably stiffer laterally, all
while achieving a 150g weight savings in the frame. (Depending on how lateral stiffness numbers are
used, this frame is approximately 20% stiffer than its predecessor, similar to our Ranger V2 layup
improvements). When it all comes together, you can count on chatter-free descending, consistent
suspension with smooth braking, and surprisingly efficient climbing.
To simplify things for dealers and riders alike, we used carbon co-molded guided internal
cable routing for easy maintenance. The pivot bolt and bearing design is all new and allows for a
stiffer, quieter interface and one-tool system for super easy maintenance, in the shop or on the
trail.
Revel is a small company in a small town, and we take pride in making the best bikes we can.
For the first time ever, all assembly of the Rascal will be handled directly in-house at our
Carbondale headquarters and Taiwan facility, allowing us to go the extra mile so you get the best
bike possible. We’re incredibly proud of this bike and we can’t wait for you to ride one.
