Bowhead RX™
DESIGNED AND BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE AND DURABILITY.
The Game Changer. Experience the ultimate cardio and exploration machine, combining years of R&D with cutting-edge Bosch E-Bike tech and SRAM wireless shifting.
The Bowhead RX combines the award-winning Bowhead FLOW™ articulating front-end from the Reach™ bike with a new single-pivot MX-style rear swingarm for a nimble ride over any terrain. Whether tackling paved roads, gravel tracks, cross-country routes, or single-track mountain trails, the RX excels in access and exploration.
Powered by the Bosch Performance CX motor, it offers seamless torque-sensing assistance, amplifying your power by up to 3.5 times, alongside the SRAM Eagle 12-speed electronic shifting. Motor and batteries are mounted mid-bike for a low center of gravity.
"The RX feels like mountain biking again!"
How is this possible? The Bowhead FLOW™ articulation allows you to lean just like a two-wheel bike, enhancing your connection with the ride while effortlessly navigating obstacles and terrain.
PRE-ORDER
Two years of rigorous development and four generations of prototypes have led to the MoFlo™ - our most advanced front suspension system to date. Designed for the RX, Reach, and Ranger, the MoFlo delivers a massive leap in technical performance and rider ergonomics.
Engineering & Performance
Active Braking: Featuring a floating brake mount and refined anti-dive geometry, the MoFlo minimizes brake jack. This ensures your suspension stays active and articulates freely even under heavy braking on steep terrain.
50% More Travel: We’ve increased vertical wheel travel by over 50% compared to previous generations, offering unmatched small-bump compliance and high-speed stability.
Enhanced Clearances: Optimized architecture provides extra hand clearance on the RX and increased ground clearance across all models for technical trail navigation.
Rider-Centered Design
Durability: We’ve inverted the shock orientation to protect the air valve from debris and impacts.
On-the-Fly Adjustments: The new valve position is more ergonomic, making it significantly easier for riders to make suspension adjustments while on the trail, or adjust air pressure.
Industry Standard: The MoFlo is designed around a 210x55 shock, ensuring robust performance and easy long-term serviceability.

Compatibility & Requirements
IMPORTANT
Check Your Current Setup: The MoFlo system is exclusively compatible with the FLOW Bearing Front End.
Standard on RX: All RX models are equipped and ready for MoFlo.
Reach & Ranger bikes with Bushing Front End: If your bike is equipped with a Bushing Front End, a full front-end upgrade is required to install the MoFlo system. Please ensure you add this upgrade to your preorder. FLOW Bearing Front End can be purchased at this Link
Reach & Ranger bikes with FLOW Bearing Front End: While your bike has the compatible articulation assembly, the MoFlo system requires updated geometry and components. These users will still need to upgrade their Uprights, Kingpin, and Articulation Plate to the new MoFlo-spec components to ensure proper fitment and performance.
MoFlo is not compatible with Lean Assists or Lean Limiters
