Stay in charge with the Alpha FAT Bike. Built tough with huge tyres to tackle the toughest terrain. Mud, snow, sand - ride it all.

The Reid Alpha is part of our performance Fat Bike range. It runs huge 4.0” tyres for amazing grip and the ability to traverse terrain that regular mountain bikes can’t even dream of attempting. If you want to explore new trails, rugged terrain and a riding experience like no other – the Reid Alpha will take you there.

The Alpha features a performance MTB bike geometry and is built around a stiff and lightweight Hydroformed 6061 Alloy Fat Bike Frame with steel fork. With an aggressive trail geometry and performance components, this Fat Bike is built to be ridden hard over all terrain from deep sand, sticky mud and snow. Get the full Fat Bike experience at an unbeatable price.

This Fat Bike benefits from an upgraded lightweight alloy Lasco crankset, newly improved disc brakes and an upgraded Shimano 7-speed shifter and gearing. The 26x4.0 tyres leave a commanding footprint that can run as low as 10PSI to help you roll over anything on your way to the top!

  • Huge 26 X 4.0 Tyres to tackle terrain you wouldn’t even attempt on any other bike
  • Lightweight alloy frame with aggressive trail geometry
  • Shimano 7-Speed thumb operated shift gearing to keep you moving when the going gets tough

    A good entry level fat tire bike, but room for improvements

    The Alpha is a good entry level fat tire bike. It's not too heavy, frame and bar are aluminium. It's already a non threaded headset. The wheelset is fine, it is properly trued and the tires are good.

    However, there's still room for improvements which wouldn't add much costs at production

    - the axle bearings had far too much tension on my bike, which limits the lifespan of the bearings and slows the bike down

    - the headset tension bolt had been tightened far too much (normally it's just 3 Nm)

    - the bottom bracket was mounted without any grease in the thread. If this is not corrected it will corrode into the frame over time and the frame can suffer damage if it has to be removed if it's worn one day

    - the gearing is unnecessary high. It's clear we will not see a 1 x 12 shifting in this price class, but the smallest gear is already too big to use it properly as a beach bike or at smaller hills. A smaller front chain ring would be a relatively production cost neutral solution, or a 14-34 mega range freewheel cassette (the original freewheel cassette is 14-28, but already Shimano). I retrofitted mine with the mega range cassette. The Tourney derailleur works fine, even if it's the entry level group set.

    The original gearing would make sense on a road bike, but not on a fat tire bike which is never ridden that fast.

    - the brakes leave a lot room for improvements. It's clear we will not see a hydraulic disc brake from stock in this price class, but the JAK mechanical disc…
