Few bicycles have ever received the amount of attention, accolades, or respect as the Ibis BowTi. The crowning achievement of John Castellano's patented Sweet Spot suspension project, the unique titanium frame of the BowTi provides 5 inches of plush and active rear suspension without a pivot.
The BowTi provides proof that big ideas and a commitment to performance can out maneuver big budgets and big business any day. Especially on ride days.
The 2001 BowTi has received a series of subtle tweaks. We've updated the front end geometry to match the latest crop of 80 mm travel forks and improved the cable routing a bit.
The BowTi is incredibly compliant vertically. But it has the same lateral stiffness and bottom bracket stability as our super stiff Ti Mojo. It's built from a custom manufactured tubes of Ti 3Al/2.5V, along with bits and pieces of Ti 6Al/4V and Ti 15V/3Cr/3Al/3Sn. Like the leafsprings in the ass end of a 60's muscle car, the BowTi's flexing members will hold up through thousands and thousands of cycles.
The Ibis BowTi. No other bike is as technically advanced, or as much fun to ride.
