SPECIFICATIONS / UPGRADES

Frame: Stainless Steel (Standard) vs. Titanium (Upgrade)

• Titanium saves 3.5 lbs of weight 

Seat Cushion: None (Standard) vs. Supracor Stimulite Slimline Cushion (Upgrade)

• We HIGHLY recommend upgrading to include the Supracor Stimulite Slimline Cushion. Saves you time researching other options and ensures that your seat cushion will fit your seat dimensions perfectly.

Shocks: Performance (Standard) vs. Premium (Upgrade)

• Premium shocks allow for higher performance on more challenging terrain

• For specific brands please consult our customer experience rep - service@bowheadcorp.com

Brakes: Performance (Standard) vs. Premium (Upgrade)

• Premium brakes allow for higher performance on more challenging terrain

• For specific brands please consult our customer experience rep - service@bowheadcorp.com

Rotors: 203mm (Standard) vs. 220mm (Upgrade)

• Upgrading to a 220mm rotor will provide more braking power with the same amount of hand pressure applied, thus making it easier to stop. A larger diameter rotor reduces the force required to produce the same amount of braking power, prevents brake fading and provides more security. Large rotors are a must for heavier riders. Always consider the total weight of the rider, bike, and backpack/luggage.

Wheels: Tubed (Standard) vs. Tubeless (Rear Only – Upgrade)

• Upgrading to tubeless is a matter of preservation, it mitigates the chances of being stranded in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire. Tubeless setup is a tire with goop in it that seals the puncture quickly.

• If you decide to keep the standard tubed setup it is important to always ride with spares and your tool kit, just in case you encounter any issues.

• Tannus Inserts - foam inserts/alternative to tubeless

  • Only available in 24” and 27” 

Tires: Performance (Standard) vs. Premium (Upgrade)

• Premium tires allow for higher performance on more challenging terrain
