Product Information

Full details

The Pinnacle Laterite is an ideal entry-level road bike for commuters, fitness enthusiasts, and weekend riders who prioritize comfort and long-term durability. By blending an endurance-focused alloy frame with vibration-damping carbon-bladed forks, it provides a stable and smooth riding experience across varied road surfaces. While it offers excellent value for a modern road bike, it is specifically designed for endurance and recreational use, rather than high-speed competitive racing.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I fit wider tyres on the Laterite?

The bike comes with 700x30c tyres, which is quite wide for a road bike. Check your frame clearance, but 30c is usually near the recommended limit for standard road calliper brake clearance.

Is this bike suitable for gravel riding?

It is designed for tarmac and road use. While the 30c tyres handle rough roads well, it is not intended for off-road or deep gravel terrain.

How often should I service the drivetrain?

A basic service including chain cleaning and gear indexing is recommended every 6 months, or more frequently if you commute in the rain.

Are the pedals included?

Most Pinnacle road bikes are supplied without pedals to allow riders to choose between flat pedals or their preferred clipless system.

What is the benefit of the alloy frame?

The 6061 alloy provides an excellent balance of low weight and high durability, making it an ideal material for a reliable, everyday road bike.

Troubleshooting

Gears are skipping or making noise

Adjust the barrel adjuster on the rear derailleur to fine-tune cable tension.

Brakes feel weak or unresponsive

Check that the brake pads are aligned correctly with the rim and that the brake cable has enough tension; if worn, replace the pads.

Handling feels twitchy or unstable

Ensure the headset is correctly tensioned and that the handlebar stem bolts are tightened to the recommended torque settings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Lightweight alloy frame is durable and responsive
Carbon fork significantly improves vibration damping
Endurance geometry is perfect for beginners
30c tyres provide extra stability and comfort
Internal cable routing keeps the frame looking tidy

Cons

Not intended for high-performance racing
8-speed drivetrain has larger jumps between gears
Standard calliper brakes may lack the all-weather power of discs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Pinnacle Laterite stays in top condition, perform a quick "M-Check" before each ride: check the tyre pressure (keep within the recommended PSI range on the sidewall), ensure the quick-release wheels are fully tightened, and test that the brakes provide firm resistance.

Maintenance Tips:

Drivetrain Cleaning: Use a degreaser to keep the Shimano Claris chain clean and apply fresh bike-specific lubricant after every few rides to ensure smooth shifting.
Tyre Care: Inspect the Vee Apache tyres regularly for embedded glass or debris that could lead to punctures.
Cable Maintenance: Because the bike uses internal cable routing, inspect the entry and exit points occasionally to ensure cables remain free of moisture and debris.
Storage: Always store the bike in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the alloy components.
