What this means for you
Yes, you would feel the difference, mainly in how it steers.
The Giant Revolt is the quicker, more eager to change direction.
Cockpit changes close part of the gap, but the rest is baked into the frame.
The Giant Revolt is a sharper, more agile bike that seats you more upright. Pedaling position stays the same.
Where it lands on character
The single biggest difference is : 15 mm on the Cube Nuroad.

Riding position
The Giant Revolt has a slightly shorter , so you sit a touch more compact and upright.
Its front end is a little taller, so you sit marginally more upright at the bars.
Why reach and stack go together here
Handling & stability
Several numbers pull the same way: the Giant Revolt is the more agile, playful bike (2 signals agree).
A shorter feels a bit more nimble.
The Giant Revolt has much shorter : more agile, easier to lift the front, a more playful character.
The sits much lower: planted and stable, so you feel "in" the bike.
Why long and low means calm here
Pedaling position
Your pedaling position is essentially unchanged between these two bikes.
What components fix
Roughly a +6 mm stem change brings the bars back to the same .
You can slam the stem, but you'll still sit higher. The taller can't be fully removed.

On the road
The same geometry differences, read through four rides. Generated from the numbers above, nothing else.
The Giant Revolt's taller takes weight off your hands hour after hour. The Giant Revolt sits you more upright, easier to hold for hours.
Its shorter make the rear livelier under braking.
Its shorter pivots more tightly.
The Giant Revolt's shorter stays are nimble unloaded but tighter on heel-to-bag clearance. Its shorter stays quick but feels busier fully loaded.
Which one is for you

was missing for one bike, so its actual seat angle was used instead.
data is missing, so steering feel is assessed roughly from the alone.
Some geometry is missing (), so those comparisons were skipped.
Saddle position sets your pedaling stance, not your to the bars, so don't use it to fix cockpit length.
This verdict covers frame geometry only. Weight, stiffness, tires and build affect ride feel too, and sometimes more.
Frequently asked questions
Which is more upright, Cube Nuroad or Giant Revolt?
Giant Revolt sits you more upright. Its stack-to-reach is higher (+0.04) and its front end is +7 mm, so there is less drop to the bars.
Which is more stable, Cube Nuroad or Giant Revolt?
Cube Nuroad is the more stable, planted bike; Giant Revolt is the more agile.

Not by the label. Your Cube Nuroad M lines up with Giant Revolt's M by reach (-6 mm reach, +7 mm stack). Giant Revolt's ML matches reach more exactly, but its front end is 23 mm taller.
Is this a full review?
No. We compare frame geometry only: the numbers that define position, handling and pedaling. Weight, stiffness, wheels and components shape the ride too, and reviews cover those well. We cover the part reviews usually skim: what the geometry chart actually means.
