BORN FROM THE HENDERSON
The BowTi didn't start with a clean sheet of paper.
It evolved from the Smokestone Henderson, — taking the ideas that made the aluminium bike work and developing them into something lighter, stronger and built to last.
Titanium changed the character of the bike.
The result was the BowTi — a fatbike with the capability to explore well beyond the usual boundaries of a mountain bike.
From aluminium to titanium.
From Henderson to BowTi.
The evolution continues.
BUILT TO EXPLORE
The BowTi is at home wherever the trail takes you.
From woodland trails and rough tracks to open hills and longer adventures, the BowTi is built to handle whatever you point it at.
Its big tyres bring grip and stability where the ground gets difficult, while the titanium frame gives it the strength and ride quality to keep going.

BUILT FOR ADVENTURE.
The BowTi is designed to handle anything from daily errands to off-grid adventures. With rear rack mounts fitted as standard, you can easily carry your shopping or load up for a trip to the hills with your camping gear — and, of course, a few beers.
PLENTY OF STORAGE.
For those long rides, the frame includes two bottle cage mounts plus a 3-bolt cargo cage mount under the downtube, giving you extra capacity wherever the trail takes you.
CABLE ROUTING.
The BowTi features guided internal cable routing, including for Pinion Smartshift cables if you choose the Pinion option. Dropper post routing is included too. Prefer external routing? No problem — that's available as well.
FLEXIBLE DRIVETRAIN OPTIONS.
With the appropriate dropout configuration, the BowTi can be built with a traditional derailleur drivetrain, including UDH-compatible setups, or with a Pinion gearbox using its dedicated sliding dropout.
MORE CLEARANCE. MORE CONFIDENCE.
The BowTi retains its signature curved top tube, providing increased standover clearance — perfect for those moments when “emergency clearance” is absolutely necessary.
GEOMETRY
CHOOSE YOUR RIDE
The BowTi is available in two geometry options. Both use the same titanium frame platform, but each has a different riding character.
BOWTi
Balanced. Versatile. Ready for anything.
The standard BowTi geometry is designed as an all-rounder — capable on trails, comfortable on longer rides and equally at home loaded up for adventure.
BOWTi LS
Longer. Slacker. Built for bigger thrills.
The LS geometry up’s the game, giving the BowTi a more aggressive character, with a longer and slacker chassis designed for riders who want to take on more demanding terrain.
