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.
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.
- Shimano 105 R7000 22-speed gearing.
- 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 R7020 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.

SHIPPING
Flat rate of $9.99 shipping is currently available to most of the Australian mainland (includes Tasmania). For postcodes ineligible for the $9.99 flat rate, Reid Cycles subsidizes shipping costs to help make shipping more affordable in remote and harder to access areas. For shipping to remote island locations, email customer service for an estimate on support@reidcycles.com.au .
- Pick up in store options are always free for all products (for wait times and more information click here)
Subsidised Home Delivery
We offer a subsidised flat rate delivery of $9.99 for most of Australian and Tasmanian mainland. This means that the customer pays $9.99, and we cover the rest of the cost. However, in some regional areas, the cost of delivery can be very high – some upwards of $300. It is for these suburbs that we offer varying subsidised shipping rates based on zones. These zones are determined by your total shipping cost – and of this total cost, we subsidise $80.
- E.g. If at checkout, you are in Zone 4, and your shipping comes to $99.99. This means, your actual cost of shipping was $179.99.
For each zone, there is a base rate of shipping. However, for every additional bike ordered, 50% of this base rate is added. In this case, it is likely we are subsidising more than the $80 and are only asking for part of the cost covered for the additional freight.
- E.g. If you are in Zone 1 of the subsidised shipping areas, and order one bike, your base shipping rate is $49.99. If you order two bikes in the same order, your shipping will total $74.99. If you order a third bike, it will total $99.99.
Please note: there are a small number of suburbs that we don’t currently deliver to. This is because our service provider doesn’t service these areas. For further information, please contact 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.
