I am looking to buy a gravel bike to do basically everything from commuting to bikepacking and (getting into) racing.
I want one with 2x, but most of the new ones only come with a 1x. With my budget of 2000€ I narrowed it down to the Giant Revolt 0 right now, but would be happy if you guys can share experiences or alternative recommendations in the same price range I can look into.
Thanks!

I own Giant Revolt 0 and absolutely love it. Nimble, robust, a packhorse for bikepacking and an all-purpose weapon
Got mine last year and have 2 issues with it
1. the seat post clamping design is utter dogshit, if you have to take out the seatpost be carefully it doesn’t fall down the tube and putting it back in you need to be carefully aswell
2. the bottom bracket is threaded, which is nice as a diy guy, but it’s a non standard size. One side is 22mm, the other side is 24mm. Afaik you can only buy the original off giant, which I know have to wait for a week to get after a standard shimano bsa didn’t fit properly…
