Revel El Jefe Complete Mountain Bike, Sram XX T-Type Build, Raw

FAST OR SLOW, JUST GO!

The Revel El Jefe is a titanium 29er hardtail built for the rides that start as “quick lap” ideas and turn into all-day missions. Designed around a 120mm fork (with the option to run 130mm), it’s fast and efficient when you want to cover ground, but still confident and playful when the trail gets technical.

Under the hood, the El Jefe’s cold-formed titanium frame uses modern shaped tubing, clean internal cable routing with welded guides, and tons of mounts for bottles, bags, and accessories. Clearance is a proper 29 x 2.6 with room for mud, and the adjustable dropouts let you tune chainstay length from 420 to 435mm to match the way you ride (and it’s updated with SRAM UDH to keep hanger replacements easy and the drivetrain more future-proof).
