I have the giant revolt advanced pro 2. I bought the base model so I could upgrade - which I did and it’s been awesome. If I was to buy a bike today I’d also look at the diverge and the topstone as they are doing so great things around suspension. Of course - the best advice is - find a bike, buy it and ride!
What’s really great about these bikes is the multi use. I’m spending a lot of time in the roads and riding 36mm tires is awesome.
