Bowhead opens preorders for MoFlo suspension system

Bowhead Design Corporation has launched the MoFlo Suspension System for its Reach, RX, and Ranger adaptive bikes, with preorders now open and shipping expected to start in late June 2026. The new front suspension is designed to improve wheel travel, stability and braking control for technical trail riding.

Why it matters: - The MoFlo is Bowhead’s most advanced front suspension system yet, built to improve technical trail performance for adaptive riders. - The system increases wheel travel by more than 50%, from 75mm to 115mm, which should improve small-bump compliance and stability at speed. - Bowhead is adding a coil option for the front end for the first time, expanding setup choices for riders who want different performance feels.

What happened: - Bowhead Design Corporation announced the launch and preorder availability of the Bowhead MoFlo Suspension System on June 10, 2026. - The system is engineered for the Bowhead RX, Bowhead Reach and Bowhead Ranger adaptive bikes. - Initial units are scheduled to begin shipping in late June 2026.

The details: - The MoFlo was developed over two years and went through four generations of prototypes. - The suspension uses a floating brake mount and refined anti-dive geometry to reduce traction loss on steep descents. - Bowhead says the active braking setup keeps the linkage and articulation free to absorb impacts under heavy braking. - The shock is inverted to protect air valves from debris and place adjustment knobs within rider reach on the trail. - The system offers extra hand clearance on the RX and increased ground clearance across all models. - The MoFlo is built around a 210x55 inline shock configuration for serviceability and long-term support. - Preorders are available on Bowhead’s website. - The company’s announcement is available here. - Bowhead also listed social channels at Instagram and Facebook.

Between the lines: - Bowhead is positioning the MoFlo as a performance upgrade aimed at riders pushing adaptive bikes harder on technical terrain. - The product mix suggests Bowhead is trying to serve both riders seeking simpler tuning and those wanting a more aggressive coil setup. - Compatibility limits mean some current Reach and Ranger owners will need added hardware or a full front-end upgrade before using the system.

What's next: - The Base Package, at $2,499, ships with the X-Fusion O2 Pro R inline shock and is expected in late June 2026. - The Upgrade Package, at $3,099, ships with the Cane Creek AIR IL and is expected in mid-June 2026. - The Premium Package, at $3,199, ships with the Cane Creek COIL IL and is expected in late June 2026. - Reach and Ranger riders with a FLOW Bearing Front End can add the system with a $499 retrofit geometry bundle. - Reach and Ranger riders using a Bushing Front End will need a full front-end upgrade.

The bottom line: - Bowhead is betting that more travel, better braking stability and easier on-trail tuning will make the MoFlo a standout upgrade for adaptive off-road riders.
