Bowman Cycles (United Kingdom) - Press Release: Welcome to PALACE 3 and WEALD.

We are exceptionally happy to be able to welcome you all to the next generation of Bowman frames. A brace of new frames that share a ground-up re-designed 6069 aluminium tubeset moving the limits for what you can expect from a class-leading Aluminati bike frame.

Engineered from the beginning to maximise the benefits that disc brakes offer, the duo splits along the line of intended use.

The Palace 3 remains at the pinnacle when it comes to performance, while the Weald takes over from the Pilgrims Disc as a dedicated road endurance machine.

PALACE 3 - the Palace goes disc:

We've taken everything that people love about the Palace:R, and re-imagined a disc version. A full new tubeset and dedicated fork, larger rubber, hidden front end cabling - all whilst maintaining the proven, award-winning geometry, ride feel and fun factor, and of course we kept that all-important threaded BB.

For the bold, we have got a poppin' Orange Sherbert. Prefer not to have the bike do the shouting? Midnight Black offers a not quite black subtle option.

WEALD - when you just want to keep going:

The Weald takes over what the Pilgrims Disc began. An endurance focussed ride that maintains a sprightly feel rarely found with mile munchers.

Sharing most of the tubeset with The Palace 3, but with a lower BB, increased headtube length and slight wheelbase stretch you have an extra 10mm stack compared to the Palace family. Added stability and even more room for larger tyres (32mm fit fine) keep you steady as you push the distance without losing any of the punch when you're fresh.

Black coral offers a touch of pop to our darker colour option while the Forrest Mint gives a touch of nature to spur you on and brighten up the ride.
