Bossi Grit SS Custom Build Gravel Bike

BEN’s Bossi Grit SS Gravel Bike Custom Build

Ben didn’t choose the Bossi Grit SS by accident — he chose it for how he rides.

Durability came first. Gravel riding is demanding, and the stainless steel frame offers strength, resilience, and a ride feel that only gets better with time.

He was equally drawn to the clean, understated aesthetic — timeless, refined, and free from distractions.

Tyre clearance was key. Big tyres mean more grip, comfort, and confidence on rough gravel trails and unpredictable surfaces.

The SRAM XPLR 13-speed drivetrain provides the gear range to handle everything from steep climbs to fast flats, while the Zipp wheels enhance efficiency, control, and overall ride quality.

In short, it’s a bike built for longevity, versatility, and riding wherever the road — or trail — leads.
