this was not on my radar but damn that thing is a looker.
I would agree with this.
Looks like you'd have to run a forward offset post with this one too.
EDIT- I thought RM had boycotted Backcountry....?

Are there many small custom builders over where you are? I dunno what its like in the States, but over here theres a few boutique guys doing really nice frames that you can get for a cost similar to the Evil etc. I know which I'd prefer to be on, but I guess it depends how performance orientated you are. The geo on Evil looks proper stupid to me, but I don't ride road or gravel.
the market for gravel bikes is huge, lots of smaller manufacturers out there
Just needs a Trust fork for optimal fugliness
There are approximately 10 million small frame builders in the US, and I think they pretty much only build gravel and BIKEPACKING bikes.
I am a friendly guy, so I will do everyone a favor and not link to Radavist.

I should have written 10/11spd instead of 1x
my bad. I have to pull a two seated trailer with my two kids inside up a rather steep hill.
11T
That dropped chainstay's gonna get fucked in no time in the 11T
Well done
All the cool kids gravgrav bikes run a 10t
I absolutely do not, and you can't make me.
depends on how much you hate your own life, considering this would be the bike you usually spend the most time on
Yeah I agree w/ that. Mo' Crabon and ti you have the less maintenance you need to do...
bastard!FTFY
Isn't that mostly a matter of size & fit?
that's exactly the target audience for this bike, isn't it? Wealthy bros who don't actually use what they have to full capacity but have the buying power and need to show off? ie megadentists
"Bro throw your gravel grinder in the cyber truck, we're gonna head up to the mountains for the weekend. We'll stay at my dad's place while my ex-wife has the kids"
Ok, gotta say the name is pretty good. Still, I'll never understand the appeal of drop bars for a bike that's supposed to be fun in the dirt. I have a cyclecross bike with fairly meaty tires and disc brakes. Great commuter, but every time I take it off road, I wish I was on a proper hardtail mtb.
Can do drop bar trail beers.

Funny, I figured someone would bring up Tomac. To each his own, and that guy will always be one of my mtb heroes, but as I recall he didn't stick with the drop bars on his mtb for very long now did he?
damn, that may be the first knolly that actually kinda/sorta looks good. granted, they could have nixed the downtube bend.
i still like the evil, tho.
just while he was doing double duty racing road w/ 7-11. but yeah, tomac is, and will always be a boss. saw him at interbike & had him sign a tomac bikes brochure. *swoon*.
Found the bar for it.

Don't they get 99.9% of gravel buyers are big city hipsters who want looks over functionality? (since essentially you are buying outdated technology that was replaced by mountain bikes) They should have taken a page out of NS bikes gravel brand Rondo. Made the bike look great and that's it.
ha!
Not interested in their products, but they don’t take themselves too seriously, which is refreshing.Found the bar for it.

Crabon rigid frames == form over function.
For it's many fault's it's still way nicer looking than that, that.... full sus THING that Niner turned out for gravel. 
I'll stop nagging and let some reviews come out...I just feel like you can't make a bike that's designed to cover lots of miles so aggressive, as it simply defeats the purpose of the bike. That being said, hats off for pushing the envelope- without wackadoos we'd never push things forward.
Kind of like your gooseneck seat post?
It's kind of a stretch, but I dreamt last night that my Revolt (Giant) cross bike was stolen. I should probably go check on it...
yeah I mean at least we try, right?...I could never get my following to work the way that I wanted it to. Their insistence on ridiculous seat angles could certainly be improved, but the frame was well put together and rode fairly nicely.
