What headset does a Giant Revolt gravel use?
The headset fitment standard on a Giant Revolt gravel, and how to pick the right part.
| Frame | Giant Revolt gravel |
|---|---|
| Headset standard | IS42 (integrated, 42 mm) |
| Cup / bearing outside diameter | 41.8 to 42.0 mm bearing outside diameter |
| Steerer diameter | 28.6 mm (1 1/8 in) |
The Giant Revolt gravel uses a IS42 integrated upper headset (integrated, 42 mm), a 27.2 mm class seatpost, a 12x100 mm front thru-axle at the front (12 mm x 100 mm, front) and a braze-on front derailleur.
Gravel builds are often 1x, so the front-derailleur mount can go unused. The 27.2 mm post is the class default; confirm the exact part before buying. The bottom bracket is covered on its own page.
