Try it and let me know what happens...
I'm not saying that it isn't user error though.
it didnt happen for me, but other problems have been arising.Try it and let me know what happens...

and it was a joke
I'm 5'8" and 190lbs and riding a medium Revolt with a 350lbs spring. I think it fits very well. My girlfriend is about 5'3" and felt comfortable on a small but she doesn't have any trail time on one.
I'm 5'11" and am on a Medium and it feel perfect to me. Cockpit is roomy and the WB is around 46" with the set-up I'm running. Not sure about the spring rate since I am on a 2nd Production run frame with the 2010 Fox RC4... still figuring that out.
NOTE: 50mm zero rise stem, 165mm cranks, 710mm wide 35mm rise handlebars, seat nearly centered on post - maybe slightly forward a bit.
...NOW if only I could just get the details worked out...

I'm 5' 11" about 160lbs and have a medium with a 300# spring on an RC4. It feels good so far, this weekend will be the real test when I take it on some long rough DH runs in the Rockies.
Does the Revolt's suspension stay fairly neutral during braking? I used to ride a Demo it felt like the suspension would rise when braking and my Sunday felt like it would squat under braking.

Please post a review to let us know how it feels.
Your bike fits great and also bounces into the air really well as I saw it do from the lift this weekend.5'9" on a medium with a 50mm stem. Fits great
Ha, glad you did not get hurt.
You saw it? Ugh, that sucked. Feeling much better now, but Saturday night/Sunday was rough.Your bike fits great and also bounces into the air really well as I saw it do from the lift this weekend.

Another batch of frames for the US & Canada has dropped this morning. Black ano is available now. If you have one on hold from your dealer they'll be shipping out in the coming days. If you want one, well get your order in soon
ps. Factions are also in this shipment.

Do you have any retailers in NYC? or maybe Demo events on the eastcoast.
I would like to demo one before I made a decision.

dubbed - In NYC the guys at Racer's Edge can get you properly sorted! Just drop by or ring them up. For a demo just shoot me a PM and I can arrange to meet up with you at Diablo or one of our other local guys can let you take their rig for a spin.

not sure if I posted mine yet, but here she is.
this has just landed in good old New Zealand, the Gun Metal Ano looks pretty nice up close, should be built up tomorrow
scratch that, this is the one getting built up tomorrowthis has just landed in good old New Zealand, the Gun Metal Ano looks pretty nice up close, should be built up tomorrow
wow. that's nice. more pics!
Is that additional tube under the seatmast new on this run of frames or is that some one off?
That ano looks so sick. kinda reminds me of:
That ano looks so sick. kinda reminds me of:
The extra tube between the downtube and the seattube was a running change that came out on the last batch of whites and this one of the blacks.
Do you mean the top tube and the seat tube?
Running change. Was in original plan, then removed for aesthetics, then put back for aesthetics.
Ha! Astrix Ryan said the SAME thing when he saw the gunmetal grey frame at the factory. It's a color I don't think I've ever seen on DH bikes before really.

Good move - looks more complete & sturdy with it there.
I saw Palmer beating the living hell out of his revolt last weekend at northstar. Looks like a sick frame.
Yeah, sorry. It was a long day at work and I was almost asleep when I posted that.
Hi everybody...i don't think i've ever posted (not like i have anything great to offer) - but i've been looking at these revolts for some time now and to make a long story short, my fiance is buying me a frame of choice...so essentially this future frame sybolizes my fidelity...rrriiigghhht.
To those in the know: is that gun metal color readily available? Is it a struggle to get anything but white or black, b/c if so, i'll just get either of those 2 colors. much thanks!

unless you get it painted yourself. they only come in anno black of PC'd white
as well as the 2 colours above
So your Revolt is sorta like a promise ring or something...whoa nelly...
The gunmetal color was done at the last minute as something "cool". The anodizer had it in the tank so we rolled the dice. They are rare right now, not a ton globally. (I think only like four into N America) If everyone digs them they might become a production color the next go around.
And now gunmetal for the lucky few!

thanks for opportunity...basically i get her a rock and she drops on a frame, and not just any frame i might add. i wonder if she'll allow me to bring the rig up to the altar during our vows?
on the colors, meh, i've done skittles when i was bmxing...so i'm much easier on my eyes now, black/white...all good - and from what i've seen from others on this thread you can't go wrong!
