The Giant PX2 is a durable, tubeless-ready alloy wheelset designed as a reliable workhorse for gravel, cyclocross, and mixed-terrain riding. It’s commonly found as stock equipment on bikes like the Giant Revolt and is well suited for riders who value strength, compatibility, and ease of ownership over outright weight savings.
This wheelset is built to handle everyday riding, light adventure use, and the demands of tubeless setups without introducing complexity or fragile components.
Key Functional Details
- Alloy (aluminum) rims designed for durability and everyday riding

- Spoke counts commonly 28 front / 28 or 32 rear depending on model year
- Built as a stable, predictable wheelset rather than a lightweight race option

- Wheel size: 700c (also used on some gravel/29” applications)
- Front axle: 12x100mm thru-axle
- Rear axle: 12x142mm thru-axle

Service / Ownership Context
The PX2 wheelset is designed for low-fuss ownership. Tubeless setup requires rim tape, tubeless valves, and sealant if not already installed. Hub bearings and freehub internals are serviceable using standard tools. These wheels prioritize durability and ease of service over minimizing weight.
Fit & Use Signals

- Good fit if you run Shimano or SRAM HG cassettes
- Good fit for riders moving from basic wheels to tubeless-ready setups
