Brompton x Tour de France – A Ride Like No Other

The original folding bike meets the greatest race on earth.

In a bold and unexpected collaboration, two cycling icons come together – Brompton, the legendary folding bike that redefined urban mobility, and the Tour de France, the most prestigious stage race on the planet. Together, they introduce a limited-edition Brompton C Line – designed with purpose, crafted with precision, and infused with the spirit of the Tour.

Design Meets Storytelling

At the heart of this collaboration is a stunning visual concept: the Brompton becomes a moving canvas, wrapped in an abstract graphic narrative drawn from the Tour’s essence. At first glance, it’s a bold, dynamic pattern. Look again, and the story unfolds – fans waving flags, riders in full flight, captured through the lenses of Pauline Ballet and Charly Lopez.

Standout details include:

• Leaders Yellow ergonomic grips, inspired by the iconic Maillot Jaune

• Brompton logo in unmistakable Tour de France yellow

• Custom graphic frame finish, referencing the visual legacy of race day

• Strictly limited production run worldwide

Crafted in London – Built to Last

Each Brompton x Tour de France frame is hand-built in Brompton’s London Factory, then finished using a state-of-the-art sublimation printing process that fuses race-day photography into a sleek, weather-resistant design.

The process:

1. Specialised inks are printed onto thermoforming film.

2. The film is vacuum-formed around the frame.

3. The frame enters a custom-built machine and is heated precisely.

4. Heat and pressure bond the print directly to the metal, embedding the design permanently.

5. Once cooled, the film is removed – leaving behind a flawless, high-resolution finish.
