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 12-19.5’’ 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™ sideguards 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.

The Era’s performance hub located between the seat and chassis provides unparalleled functionality.

With 4 inches of continuous Center of Gravity (COG) adjustment, customizable seat angle blocks, a vibration minimizing Titanium torsion flex bar, this Hub allows for a wide range of performance.    

PERFORMANCE HUB™

The Era’s seat post allows for 4 inches of continuous seat height adjustment. Our design ensures you’re never welded to a single configuration, allowing for easy and precise adjustment to accommodate different cushions, footwear, or seat angle freely.

SEAT POST
