While it doesn't appear that Revel has made many updates to their 115mm cross-country Ranger frame, some notable updates have been made to the American brand's best full-suspension mountain bike.
All the updates revolve around the rear of the bike, Revel says the rear triangle has been made 20 percent stiffer without adding any extra weight. Other than reworking the chainstay and seatstay shapes, a significant contributing factor to the increase in stiffness is the collet axle design that uses larger 15mm bearings on the lower rearward pivot. These are the same bearings that are used on the burlier Rail29 and not only increase stiffness but also improve clearance and make for easier maintenance.
