The new BMW Exploro bike series, developed in collaboration with bicycle manufacturer 3T, offers a wide range of options for travel on two wheels. The bikes feature state-of-the-art technology and modern design, with three types available: gravel, road, and urban. Each bike can also be ordered with an electric motor.
All models in the special edition series showcase BMW’s commitment to performance and premium quality. They come with a full-carbon-fiber frame, available in six different sizes.
The bikes are equipped with a 12-speed electronic gearing system from SRAM, providing precise gear changes and a clean cockpit design. The hydraulic disc brakes have cables routed inside the frame, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the bike. The frames also feature a two-tone paint finish, with a darker shade on the lower section and a lighter shade on the top tube, seatpost, and fork.
The bikes come with a 40-tooth sprocket and a cassette spread of 10-44 teeth, ensuring the right gear ratio for various terrain types. The hydraulic SRAM Rival brakes with 160-millimeter discs provide excellent stopping power. The electric versions of the bikes are equipped with a Mahle X20 rear-wheel hub motor, offering an extra boost of power. The integration of the electric motor maintains the sleek design of the traditional bikes.
The BMW Exploro Gravel is designed for both gravel and paved roads. It comes with 27.5-inch aluminum wheels, Pirelli Cinturato Gravel tires, a carbon fiber seatpost, Selle Italia Model X Superflow saddle, and carbon fiber racing bike handlebars. The electric version of the Gravel bike features a discreetly integrated hub motor powered by a 350 Wh battery.
The BMW Exploro Road is ideal for asphalt surfaces, featuring 28-inch carbon fiber wheels, Panaracer GravelKing Slick tubeless ready tires, an aero seatpost, Selle Italia saddle, and carbon fiber racing bike handlebars. The electric version of the Road bike has a smaller battery (just under 250 Wh), resulting in a weight saving but slightly shorter range.
The BMW Exploro Urban is designed for commuting, shopping, and leisure trips in urban environments. It comes with nimble 27.5-inch aluminum wheels, flat handlebars, and a comfortable Brooks Cambium saddle. The electric version of the Urban bike is equipped with a Mahle X20 hub motor and a 350 Wh battery, providing efficient pedal assistance for longer distances.
