Brompton has embraced its wild side, announcing a collaboration with adventurer, TV personality and one-time yak eyeball eater, Bear Grylls.

The special-edition Brompton Beyond x Bear Grylls C Line Explore is said to champion “exploring the city and beyond, outside your regular commute or weekend loop”.

Launched at Eurobike 2023, the folding bicycle will be available globally this autumn.

Brompton says the bike has a six-speed drivetrain and will be available with a Moss Green, Mushroom Grey and Adventure Orange finish.

The bike will come with a range of adventure-ready components and accessories.

From the wilderness to the concrete jungle…

 

Brompton says collaborating with Bear Grylls will enable the brand to show the versatility of its folding bikes.

The brand claims Grylls will be able to use the bike on his travels around the world as well as at home in London.

“Compact yet resilient, the BG Brompton allows me to navigate the concrete jungles with the same spirit of adventure as any other jungle,” says Grylls.

So you can emulate your favourite TV explorer, in the concrete jungle or abroad, the Brompton Beyond x Bear Grylls C Line Explore comes specced with several adventure-ready parts.

The bike features a Brooks C17 all-weather saddle and Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres with tan walls.

Brompton says the bikes will come with a 17-litre backpack and 1-litre pouch.

The bags are said to be fully waterproof and have roll-top designs.

The bags are a special edition and will also be available to purchase separately from the bike.
