    I must confess that I've watched your video just for learning English vocabulary about Brompton's parts and listen to the perfect pronunciation of every word... I bought the first (or second) Brompton in Girona: orange and black in a super tiny shop which doesn't exist anymore. :)

    I love the green/grey/orange colours. I find it slightly odd that Bear Grylls teamed up with Brompton. I love my Brompton, but if I was going off into the wilderness to explore, a Brompton isn’t the first bike I’d reach for. I can’t even ride on the cobbled streets in my city on it.

      A Dutch Firm named: "Bromptonian" actually makes an "Off Road" Brompton-like bike and repair parts for "broken" Brompton frames! Also parts for strengthening your Bromptons mudguard from breaking during use (I have one of those on my mudguard in front, even though it adds to the weight of my 2019 "SuperlightM6LXBrompton" 😄)
      (Which is presently down to 9 kilo, and - still with mudguards! I'm a Dane!!!).
      And I still expect to be able to find even more weight-savings on my bike?
      Still not nearly as expensive as an about similar weight: T-line, with mudguards, and less gears 😁!
      I do admit though that the 4 Chain-gears gives less mechanical resistance, but a Brompton isn't a Racing Bike, but an instrument intended for easy transport, when not riding it as a "kind of a bike" 😁! Finn. Denmark

      it's simply let another money grab by Brompton. it's a shame nobody challenges their expired patent and starts a brand with a similar folding mechanism but improves on the bike where Brompton seem to have no financial motivation to do so. Instead we get these pointless collabs.

    • @HH60gPaveHawk
      @HH60gPaveHawk Рік тому +4

      @@gibbson130 This does feel like arguably the weakest collaboration by Brompton, as the brand has little or nothing to do with a faux survival docudrama or its star. At least previous collabs were British brands etc where you could tie anglophilia to the idea to drive sales. That said, they just accepted an infusion of capital for a minor stake, so hopefully that gives their R&D department something to work with to do some minor improvements to the bike. Part of the draw of the Brompton is a lack of major changes, so I don't think I'd want to see the existing models go away, but having a model with disc brakes for touring, proper derailleurs from real brands (or at least the nicer Rohloff hubs), would be interesting.

    As per other comments, this collab really makes no sense to me. Previous collab/special editions at least had either some connection to cycling (Chpt3), were another iconic British brand (Barbour), or celebrated something (9 Streets, NYC, London 2012, etc).
    Brompton's marketing team pops up out of nowhere and says Bear Grylls now likes bicycles and finds this urban folding bike especially useful when, erm, err, he's doing a, erm, err, docu-drama somewhere or something.... He's a survivalist (in the loosest sense of the word), and does a lot of work with The Scouts. Bicycles, much less folding bicycles, have never appeared in any staged bear chase or elephant dung moisture extraction sequences. Bizarre.
    Coulda/shoulda had a Paul Smith edition (which would have been immensely cool), a Savile Row or Square Mile edition, or even a Coronation edition.

      As at September 2023, generally (though excluding this Bear Grylls 6-speed / explore special edition) the C line are split into two models:
      Explore - 6-speed: This comes with a pump from Lezyne - black - though the Barbour bike came with a silver version which is available as an after market option
      Urban - 2-speed: This doesn't come with a pump as standard - but one can be added at time of ordering or later (if you want the Brompton specific one)
      Brompton's don't generally come with tool kits (though it's pretty much our favourite accessory) though this can be purchased any time

    I particularly enjoy your videos and would love to visit your shop, but alas I'm in the US and would have to buy my first Brompton here. I have enjoyed your many videos because it has allowed me to learn much about maintaining a Brompton, which is good for me since I already have 7 bikes, a bike shop in my garage, and it seems like half the tools that Park Tools make. I need another bike like I need another kilo around my waist. That said, I'm finding stock a bit low in the shops I have called, and the Bear Grylls is one that seems to be mostly in supply at most shops at the time I write this. I'm guessing it's not as appealing to Americans as it should be and hence survived the Christmas madness in most US Brompton dealers. Perhaps the more expensive pricing for this model was off-putting to many. But for some strange reason I am attracted to it and this will be the model I get, along with the waterproof bags. As something to note, your "deadpan" humorous delivery really tickles my funny bone and makes all of your videos both entertaining and informative. I especially enjoy the "outtakes". Keep up the good work and I wish you all success and happiness in this new year.

    Nice colour scheme, but collaborating with someone who killed animals for entertainment is a massive misstep.

      We also thought it would have been better to call it the Explore V2 (which is essentially what it is)
      Hopefully someone from Brompton will see your message!

    50 tooth chain ring is far too big, you will be pushing up those hills if you have any weight on the bike!

    what is this video? Is it a review? A demo? Something else? Why is she so excited about this bike? It looks like selling something but I can't exactly say what.

      Thanks for watching it - and the question
      It's showing the new special / limited edition bike - and the features / details

    Another desperate collab from Brompton. It would be better if people with a platform like yourself started highlighting the huge issues we have to put up with on our bikes like a comically broken derailleur or a completely bodged 6-speed dual derailleur/hub setup instead of just blowing smoke up Bromptons behinds for just another money grab colour scheme after the other 10 they've done this year alone.

      Thanks for watching and for the comment / feedback
      We haven't really had / come across issues with the 6 speed hub / derailleur cross (apart from the complex gear change sequence) - it's the best selling model
      Gan you give more details on your "comically broken derailleur" - maybe that would make a video topic ?

      They seem to be getting pretty desperate at this point. Shovelling more millions to Bear Grylls instead of investing that money to make a better base bike for the rest of us. Cheers Brompton!

      So it's basically no better than a standard Explorer with a few toys added... I'd have hoped for an improved gearing or lighting specification frankly.
