Looking at one of these as a commuter as I can't be bothered putting slicks on my MTB and the road bike is a handful if I take it onto the "paved" forest roads (they were paved 40 years ago, they're rock and mud now).

This seems like it might be an ideal bike with mudguards and a rack for year-round commuting but there's not too many reviews out there

Look awful, and seem quite low spec.

HTH.

Tiagra for just under grand seems about right.

£1k should see you with 105 in my opinion.

...even the Giant TCX SLR 2, which is the same price as the Revolt 1, comes with Shimano 105.

What's your budget?

Edit: If you're looking at the Revolt 2, then £800/900-ish? If so the Pinnacle Arkose 3 comes with 105 and BB7-SLs for £900.

I need something I can get in mainland Europe. Basically just sold my DH bike as it never gets used and it's either going to fund a bike I don't really have any use for (Yeti ASR 5C) or a commuter. Been looking at practical (i.e. mudguard/rack mounts) CX disc bikes but it's a bit of a struggle.

Would it be easier to get a Rose?
