Built for Every Adventure

The Brompton x Bear Grylls C Line Explore is tailored for those who seek adventure beyond the ordinary. This folding bike offers a host of features to make it an ideal companion for explorers. It comes equipped with six speeds, a Brooks C17 All Weather Saddle, and Schwalbe Marathon Racer Tanwall folding tires.

Bear Grylls’ Endorsement

Bear Grylls, known for his love of adventure and exploration, has embraced the Brompton folding bike during his travels worldwide and even while residing on his houseboat in London. He appreciates the versatility of the Brompton, whether navigating city streets or embarking on more daring expeditions.

“The adventure versatility of the Brompton is what makes it so unique,” said Grylls. “These bikes are a fast, versatile companion that opens up a world of adventure — even if you’re in a city. Compact yet resilient, the BG Brompton allows me to navigate the concrete jungles with the same spirit of adventure as any other jungle. I love it!”

Inspiring Adventure and Exploration

“It’s all about a day less ordinary with your Brompton bike. Partnering with Bear has been geared towards inspiring adventure and exploration, big and small,” said Shelly Pearce, global marketing director at Brompton. “He’s as passionate about helping someone climb their first mountain as he is in persuading them to ditch the TV for an evening for a cycle in the local park. And this is what Beyond is all about; the Brompton enabling you to live a day less ordinary.”

The Brompton x Bear Grylls C Line Explore is set to provide cycling enthusiasts with a versatile and adventure-ready companion, embodying the spirit of exploration championed by Bear Grylls himself. This limited-edition bike promises to open up new possibilities for riders seeking to embrace life’s adventures, both large and small.
