BUILT FOR YOU. BUILT FOR LIFE.

The Bowhead Era is built around five core modules that, when assembled, deliver unmatched performance and adaptability.

SEATING SYSTEM

Bowhead’s seating system supports healthy posture with adjustable features. It offers a seat width range of 13”to 20.5’’ in 3 distinct sizes with 2.5’’ of adjustability, ensuring a perfect fit. An on-the-fly angle-adjustable backrest and standard backrest canes accommodate various back support needs. ErgoCurve™ side guards and a solid carbon fiber base provide support and pressure relief.

The patented removable seating mechanism allows users to separate the seat assembly from the chassis, reducing weight, size, and increasing storage flexibility. It will also allow Bowhead to introduce seats purposefully designed for work, play, leisure, therapy, and recreation.
