Key features

  1. 01

    High Performance Gravel

    The Grit SS is built for riders who want a faster, more focused gravel platform for mixed-surface riding. Aerodynamically optimised tube profiles help it hold speed efficiently on the road, while deeper tube sections provide the stiffness needed for direct power transfer under load. Paired with purposeful gravel geometry, the result is a fast, controlled character across dirt, hardpack, and rougher roads.

  2. 02

    Sharp handling

    The Grit SS is built around a long wheelbase and balanced front-end geometry for confident, stable handling on loose and unpredictable surfaces. A higher stack creates a more balanced riding position with better visibility and more even weight distribution. Up front, a 50 mm fork offset maintains sharp, accurate steering without nervousness. Bottom bracket drop is set to balance ground clearance with a lower centre of gravity, keeping the bike planted without limiting off-road capability.

  3. 03

    Integrated modern standards

    Fully integrated cable routing, 3D-printed UDH dropouts, a T47 bottom bracket, clearance for modern high-volume tyres, and a 27.2 mm seatpost give the Grit SS the standards and compatibility expected of a contemporary gravel platform. A cleaner bike, broad component choice, dropper and suspension post support, and long-term relevance as gravel setups continue to evolve.

  4. 04

    Utility

    The Grit SS supports a wide range of configurations. It can be set up fast and light for road and all-road riding, or fully equipped for longer mixed-surface routes and bikepacking. Rack and mudguard mounts, triple mounts on the fork, integrated computer mounting, and compatibility with one-piece and two-piece cockpit systems give the platform genuine flexibility without visual clutter.

  5. 05

    Advanced titanium construction

    The Grit SS combines 3D-printed titanium junctions, hydroformed tube profiles, and linished welds to create a frame with shaping freedom and refinement not possible through conventional construction. Aerodynamic forms and deeper profiles improve speed and stiffness, while the clean, highly resolved finish reflects the quality of the engineering beneath it. Titanium remains the material solution to gravel's real demands: durability, corrosion resistance, vibration damping, and the ride quality that helps reduce chatter and fatigue over rougher surfaces and longer distances.

Design brief

Fast. Direct. Sculpted. Integrated. Durable. Versatile. Purposeful.

The Grit SS was developed as a high-performance titanium platform for road, all-road, and gravel use. Gravel bikes have become faster, more integrated, and more road-influenced. The opportunity was to create a titanium frame that could carry speed on sealed roads and hardpack while retaining the clearance, durability, mounting points, and ride quality required for serious gravel riding.

The design objective was to support two distinct setups from the same frame. With gravel wheels and larger tyres, the Grit SS prioritises stability, traction, damping, and control across dirt, hardpack, and broken roads. With road wheels and deeper rims, the frame takes on a sharper all-road character, supported by aero-profiled tubing, integrated routing, and increased frame stiffness.

Hydroformed titanium tubes allow deeper, more directional profiles through the front triangle, improving stiffness and supporting aerodynamic forms. 3D-printed titanium junctions create cleaner structural transitions between the head tube, down tube, yoke, and dropouts, carrying integration, internal routing, UDH compatibility, and tyre clearance in a more resolved structure.

Utility was retained deliberately. Generous tyre clearance, practical mounting points, T47, UDH, and titanium durability allow the Grit SS to be built for fast all-road riding, gravel, longer mixed-surface routes, or loaded setups without narrowing the frame to one use case.

The result is Bossi's most complete road-and-gravel platform: fast in road trim, stable off-road, practical for longer rides, and durable for long-term use.

How it rides

The Grit SS is a high-performance gravel and all-road platform designed to cover road and gravel with equal intent. In road trim, it rewards speed, efficient power delivery, and fast changes in pace. In gravel trim, it prioritises stability, control, and durability across hardpack, broken roads, and longer mixed-surface routes.

The fit is road-influenced without becoming overly aggressive for off-road use. A balanced stack and reach place the rider in a performance position that supports power transfer, visibility, and upper-body control over uneven terrain. The position is efficient for sealed-road riding, while remaining stable and manageable when the bike is fitted with larger tyres or ridden over rougher surfaces.

The handling geometry is central to the Grit SS brief. A 71.2° head tube angle and long front-centre reduce toe overlap, improve stability with larger tyres, and support confident handling at speed. With high-volume gravel tyres, trail sits in a stable gravel range for control on dirt and broken surfaces. With narrower road tyres and deeper road wheels, trail reduces and the bike takes on a sharper all-road character. The 76 mm bottom bracket drop lowers centre of gravity for cornering stability, while the long rear-centre supports tyre clearance, traction, and loaded utility without dulling response under power.

The frame construction sharpens the ride compared with a conventional round-tube gravel frame. Hydroformed aero profiles and 3D-printed titanium junctions improve stiffness through the front triangle, head tube, and bottom bracket areas, increasing precision under load and helping the bike hold speed in road trim. Titanium’s damping remains central to the ride quality, managing vibration and repeated impacts so the bike feels controlled off-road and less fatiguing over distance.

  • 3D-printed titanium head tube

    The oversized 3D-printed head tube is central to the Grit SS, allowing a stiffer, more confident front end and giving the frame its distinctive integrated form.

  • 3D-printed yoke

    A printed yoke not only allows for wider chainring and tyre clearance but maintains internal cable routing and produces a seemless integrated finish.

  • Hydroformed aero tubes

    The hydroformed tube set gives the Grit SS its aerodynamic profile, purposeful stiffness and highly sculpted form

  • Fully Integrated

    Delivers a cleaner front end and a more resolved overall presentation.

  • Linished Welds

    Welds are linished smooth by hand for a near seamless connection. The process is highly labour-intensive, but it is central to the Grit SS’s refined finish.

Size guide

Bossi frames are offered in sizes 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60. The right size for you will depend on more than height alone, including your proportions, flexibility, riding style and fit preferences.

As a general guide:

50 suits smaller riders, typically around 160–168 cm

52 suits riders around 168–173 cm

54 suits riders around 173–178 cm

56 suits riders around 178–183 cm

58 suits riders around 183–188 cm

60 suits taller riders, typically around 188–196 cm

These height ranges are approximate only. Some riders may fall between sizes depending on leg length, torso length, arm length, mobility and desired riding position.

If you are between sizes, the best option will depend on how you want the bike to fit and feel. A smaller size may offer a slightly more compact and responsive fit, while a larger size may provide a little more reach and stack.

If you are unsure which size is right for you, we recommend getting in touch before ordering. We are happy to review your current bike fit, body dimensions and intended use to help guide you into the right size.

Whether I'm riding on the road, tackling gravel trails, or embarking on long day rides and multi-day bike packing trips, it handles superbly. I have now ridden over 17,000 kilometers, and the bike has performed flawlessly throughout.

    I highly recommend Bossi Bicycles for anyone in search of a high-quality bike and outstanding service. Their dedication to customer satisfaction and their passion for cycling shine through in every interaction.

    Mike RSydney, NSW
  • Bought the Grit 4 years ago and I’m currently riding it multiple times a week. Must say it is an awesome bike. It feels great on gravel and very trustful at any speed. I’ve totally abandoned my other bike since owning this one.
    Also, James and Peter did a great job of shipping it to Germany after I left Australia. Great service all in all.

    MCochGER
  • Thoroughly satisfied with my first venture into the world of Bossi Titanium.
    I’ve been enjoying my Grit for around six weeks now, with around 1,000km up so far. Its performance on the loose stuff is next level, with amazing agility, responsiveness and comfort, on top of that it has replaced my old roadie as a more than capable day to day commuter.
    It’s not only the bike that excels, the team at Bossi is exceptional and adds a level of professionalism that other LBSs can’t match. When you’re ready for the next step up, I recommend taking a look at a Bossi.
