When British adventurer Edward Michael “Bear” Grylls climbed to the top of Mount Everest, he was 23 years old, making him among the youngest ever to do so. Since then, he’s been a famous adventure guy doing all sorts of adventure-y types of things, like his most recent adventure, a bike collaboration with the UK folding bike masters, Brompton.
Brompton says that the Bear Grylls C Line Explore is spec’d for flexibility with six speeds and a Moss Green & Mushroom Gray colorway that is reminiscent of the natural tones found in British woodland expeditions.
As with other Brompton models, the Bear Grylls C Line Explore “folds down in 20 seconds”. Having a bike that folds down to a locked, compact unit, will aid in any adventure where space is limited.
Bear Grylls C Line Explore
Bear obviously likes adventures. According to Brompton, this collaboration will help anyone seek their own adventures and explore new possibilities. The Bear Grylls C Line Explore is built with a focus on versatility and comfort.
When your adventure calls for supplies and sundries, the C Line Explore is ready. It comes equipped with matching luggage. The waterproof backpack and essentials pouch are ready for anything from your daily commute to a planned exploration.
They easily attach and detach from the bike in seconds.
Brompton says it’s easy to unleash your Wanderlust and push new horizons with the Bear Grylls C Line Explore.
