Welcome.
Our mission is to give back to the sport and enrich the cyclocross journey for all, from first-time racers to elite-level athletes.
We have an ACE race philosophy.
Our Story.
Fossa began in 2012 with an aim to sell high-end carbon frames and wheels to other cyclocross riders without the markup of the big-name brands.​
We formed a team of talented local and national racers, all adults to begin with, but gradually branched out into supporting up-and-coming youths and juniors.
​In recent years our focus has shifted towards international racing, and this season we are delighted to be supporting top U23 talent Rebecca Woodvine with her 2025-26 cyclocross racing program.
Our Supporters.
Why Fossa?
People always ask us about the name.
For those who haven't heard, a fossa is one of nature’s apex predators - although more people are aware of them since the film Madagascar!
They are somewhat cat-like, with a slender body and long tail, often hunting lemurs in the treetops.
Fossa is also the technical term for a large pit or hollow in the ground - think bomb-hole, that favourite with all off-road riders!
When we first started back in 2012, we adopted a fossa called Ikongo (at The Aspinal Foundation) as our team mascot. Sadly he died in 2025, the oldest male fossa in the breeding programme, aged 18.
