Granite 4.0
Find your way to work each day and then get lost on the weekend. Meet the new flagship bike in our popular All-Road family – the Reid Granite 4.0.
Simply put, Gravel-grinders (AKA All-Road, Adventure Road or Dirt-Road-Racers) are like a beefed-up Road bike, built to handle the rigours of off-road use. If you’re familiar with the CX (Cylcocross) category which are designed for tight handling and sharp climbs, Gravel-grinders are in the same league but designed for performance over longer distances.
The features that make these bikes perfect for dirty distance racing across varied terrain also make them perfect for all-conditions commuting. So whether you have a fast 15 kilometre daily ride over less-than-perfect tarmac, or want to get out and explore a range of off-road terrains at the weekend - the Granite 4.0 is the one bike that will reliably take you there and get you back again.
The Granite 2.0 was a big hit with reviewers (feel the love in the reviews section at the bottom of the page) and customers who put the bike through its paces here and around the World.
For those who appreciate the finer things, we have pushed the concept with the Granite 4.0 and upgraded the frame, running gear, wheelset and brakes for a dream all-rounder:
- A lightweight custom smooth-welded 6061 double-butted Alloy frame and tapered Carbon fork with extra clearance for wide tyres. The frame also features front/rear thru axles, plus rear rack mounts. Getting to work or loading up for a weekend of bike trekking? The Granite 4.0 has you covered.
- FSA Gossamer Pro, compact crankset (50/34) and 11-32t rear cassette for a huge range of gears for speed or to keep you moving on steep off-road climbs.
- Shimano RS 505 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors for powerful and controlled braking in the muddiest conditions.
- WTB STP i19 rims laced to Novatec sealed bearing thru axle hubs for a bullet proof wheelset.
- Equipped with Continental Ultra Sport II tyres in a 32C slick profile. These puncture resistant tyres are the perfect choice for an all-rounder that may take in commuting, endurance road and gravel riding.
Like every Reid Cycles bike, the Granite 4.0 comes with a Lifetime Frame Warranty, as well as a Two Year Warranty on all other non-consumable parts so you can ride it as hard you like.
For online home delivery orders, bikes are shipped in a box 85% assembled and require some final assembly. For more information please see our shipping and returns page. Bikes purchased in-store are fully assembled and ready to ride.
FAQ
The bike looks great… but what exactly is a Gravel Grinder?
Think of it as similar to a CX (Cylcocross) bike built for Endurance riding that is also perfect for all-conditions commuting over distance.
TYRES
Gravel bikes run around a 32-35mm wide tyre (as opposed to your standard Road bike at 23-25mm). This helps protect against punctures, improves comfort in the saddle and they’ll also leave you less fatigued after riding along bumpy surfaces all day.
GEARING
Gravel creates more rolling resistance so these bikes get more emphasis at the lower end of the range. For the Granite 4.0 we’ve chosen the latest Shimano 105 Compact groupset with an 11-32t cassette for solid all-round performance.
FRAME
Both Gravel bikes and CX are built tough for harsh treatment, and feature clearance for the bigger tyres and front/rear rack mounts for bike trekking and loaded commuting.
Although similar to Cyclocross bikes, Gravel-grinders feature more relaxed geometry with a slacker head tube angle, a lower centre of gravity and longer tube lengths for a more comfortable ride over longer distances. Cyclocross bikes are designed to accelerate fast and corner quickly at lower speeds, but this can feel a bit ‘twitchy’ on endurance rides along wide-open gravel roads.
BRAKES
Most quality gravel-grinders feature disc brakes as they perform better in all conditions. If you’ve ever ridden to work in the wet, you’ll understand how this translates to a safer commute. The rock star of the Granite 4.0 is the Shimano hydraulic disc brakes which offer phenomenal stopping power in all conditions.

Areas with a shipping surcharge:
Shipping of bikes is currently a flat rate of $9.99 to most of the Australian mainland and Tasmania. Due to the high costs of postage and on-forwarding for large items to remote island locations, these areas will incur a surcharge (Reid subsidise all shipping but cannot cover it all in all cases). The surcharge will be applied to your cart during the checkout process.
For more information, please email our customer service team on support@reidcycles.com.au
We do not ship outside of Australia. If you live overseas and would like to buy a Reid bike please visit our international website to view a list of retailers.

Please see our 'How to guides' for assembly instructions if you do choose to assemble a bike yourself.
