Blacksnow Granite Mini-Velo Bike

The Blacksnow Granite Mini-Velo brings big-bike capability to a small, travel-friendly package. Built around 20-inch wheels and a 4130 Chromoly steel frame, this compact ride is designed for city streets, tight storage spaces, and even long-distance adventures. With clearance for 20 x 2.4-inch tires and plenty of mounting points, it is ready for racks, bags, and all the gear you want to haul.

Blacksnow Cycles spent four years developing the Granite after being unimpressed by the skinny-tired mini-velos on the market. The result is a versatile bike that doesn't compromise on comfort or durability. Riders can choose between a standard drivetrain or a version with an eccentric bottom bracket, perfect for internal gear hubs like the Rohloff.

Details matter, and the Granite comes with a 27.2mm seatpost, quick-release axles, and three frame sizes that accommodate several riders. Geometry is balanced with a 73-degree head tube angle, 72-degree seat tube, and long chainstays for added stability.

Whether you are an apartment dweller, frequent traveler, or just want a bike with a smaller footprint, the Blacksnow Granite proves that mini-velos can be both practical and fun. Compact, capable, and thoughtfully designed, it is a refreshing new option for riders who want more from a small-wheeled bike.
