Brompton x Bear Grylls C Line Explore Special Edition

Brompton x Bear Grylls C Line Explore Special Edition folding bike

Brompton have teamed up with Bear Grylls to produce this limited edition Brompton x Bear Grylls bike. The detailing is black, including the Pentaclip, aluminium hinge clamp plates and quick release are black, along with the mudguards, seatpost and crankset 

The 6 speed Brompton has (for us at least) rapidly become the the most popular model. With 6 gears in a wide gear ratio, hill climbing is just that bit easier
