Overview
To give a little background of myself, I grew up as a kid racing BMX and started riding MTB in Texas in my early 20’s. I wound up moving to Knoxville TN and rode and raced DH for the better part of 10 years all up and down the East Coast. Riding has always been part of my life. However, due to marriage, kids, injuries, work and whatnot, I wound up quitting biking altogether at the age of 40.
Fast forward about 10 years, I moved back to Texas. And after a while, I started to miss riding. I wound up buying an entry-level trail bike from a big bike chain store to see if anything would rekindle with riding. I didn’t want to dump a lot of money if I wound up not liking it. And after a couple of laps on the local trails, I fell in love with riding all over again.

After personally building it up, I have now spent the better part of a month riding it. And whoa, let me just say it is by far one of the best frames I have ever straddled. And I have slung my legs over a lot. Turner, Intense, Specialized, Morewood, those are just some of the brands I have ridden extensively in my lifetime. And at the time, they were all great at their intended use. But for a do it all bike, the Revel Rascal has far exceeded my expectations on what a bike with 5 inches of travel can do.
