Revel Ranger Ti: Ten Frames, No Motor, $5,969

The Revel Ranger Ti is not an e-bike. Pinkbike ran Revel’s press release on 14 October 2026. The front triangle is titanium, with 3D-printed junctions at the head tube, the shock mount, the bottom bracket, and the pivots, sleeved and welded to titanium tubes. The rear triangle and the links are the carbon pieces from the Ranger V3. No motor is named. No watt-hours are named. Revel’s own frame page, read the next day, still does not name one. A complete bike at 29.5 pounds, with a Pike fork and a Deluxe shock in the caption, is a pedal bike. The e-MTB guide is the other machine.

The pounds and the kilograms are one scale

Three point six four kilograms times 2.2 is 8.0 pounds. They printed 8.02. Thirteen point three eight times 2.2 is 29.4 pounds. They printed 29.5. The pairs match if you use a slightly finer conversion than 2.2. They are not two weights. The complete figure is the pictured bike, and Revel’s page says that picture is an XO kit, Nobl or Bird wheels, a Pike, and a Deluxe. It is not the $14,169 Flight Attendant build, and it is not a bare frame with a set of pedals. Eight thousand nine hundred sixty-nine minus 5,969 is $3,000, which is the XO kit over the frame on the price list. It is not a receipt for the wheels in the photo.

Two thousand one hundred seventy dollars over the carbon

Singletracks, the same day as Pinkbike, prints the carbon Ranger V3 frame at $3,799. Five thousand nine hundred sixty-nine minus 3,799 is $2,170. Adam Miller’s line, in the release, is that titanium is not cheaper, not lighter, and not easier. Singletracks then guesses the carbon frame is under 8 pounds. The carbon weight is not on that page, and it is not on Revel’s Ti page. A guess is not a scale. Geometry and kinematics, Revel says, carry over from the V3. Travel on the Ti page is 130 millimeters in front and 120 in the rear. Pinkbike described a steep seat angle, a slightly longer reach, a slack head angle, and a lower bottom bracket, and did not print the degrees. This desk will not invent them.

Sold out, and also not shipped

The press release said the first batch is 10 numbered frames, reservations are open, and the ship date is before the end of the year. The cart now says those 10 are sold out. It also says a reservation is $500, against the $5,969, with the rest collected before shipping. Five thousand nine hundred sixty-nine minus 500 is $5,469 still due, if the deposit is part of the frame price and not a fee on top. The page says it will collect the remaining balance, which is the first reading. It also says the next reservations are for February or March delivery, and, on the same screen, that the first batch is still anticipated before 31 December 2026. A frame cannot be sold out, shipping this year, and a February reservation, unless those sentences are about different batches. The page does not draw that line. The deposit line this desk read also says a reservation is non-refundable unless a delay is on them. Five thousand nine hundred sixty-nine divided by 4,999 is 1.19 dollars per pound on the two tags. That is the ratio of the prices. It is not an exchange rate.

Twenty-nine and a half pounds, a Pike, and no motor. That is the whole classification.

The other completes are arithmetic on the same list. Seven thousand nine hundred sixty-nine minus 5,969 is $2,000 for the Eagle 90 build. Twelve thousand six hundred sixty-nine minus 5,969 is $6,700 for the XX Transmission. Fourteen thousand one hundred sixty-nine minus 5,969 is $8,200 for the Flight Attendant version. None of those adds a battery. Pinkbike says Adam Miller talks about the bike in a film, and Revel’s page says to watch the film. This desk did not find a public YouTube id that is that film. Do not buy it as a lightweight e-MTB. There is nothing to charge.
