That is widely considered among the worst gravel tires for ride quality, though they are really tough on the positive side. For the lower-end Revolts we sell we immediately recommend a tire upgrade to a high quality tire that is better-fitting to the rest of the bike. Test ride a higher-end Revolt with the Maxxias tires on it; it will have the same frame as the lower-end carbon models and that will give you a much better idea of what that bike can ride like.
