If we didn't have a Bullitt Classic, Bullitt Race would be our classic

In Denmark we have a name for a specific type of dark blue; we call it Kongeblå -  Kingsblue or Royal Blue.

After all the wild colours, the cultural references, the karate kicks and punk anthems – the Classic is still one of the best-sellers. Turns out, no matter how many colours Larry & Harry throw into the world, most people end up wanting the black one. Understatement travels further than noise.

One dark November afternoon in the shop, Harry realised that the colourful universe the Bullitt should represent did not quite match the range of colours in the shop.

And then came Bollocks. New round of graphics, new name, and a nod Larry & Harry couldn’t resist: the Sex Pistols’ Never Mind the Bollocks. Loud, blunt, impossible to ignore. Yes, it’s the 70s again. Larry & Harry are fans of that decade – we’ve already told you, right?

Of course you are not permitted to use a brand name, just by replacing a letter, but our 2 founders were so eager to make a bike with the same graphics as the famous John Player Special formula one race cars from the late 70´s. A bike that was using the distinct black and gold branding, how cool is that?

The Clockwork was one of the very first Bullitts back in 2008. And it stood out. Orange up top, black on the bottom, everything else blacked out. No polished metal, no silver bits. Just orange and black.

This Bullitt instantly became a success, when it was introduced in 2014. But – and this was a bit of a surprise to us, maybe we should have anticipated it – it became a success not so much as a bike you could paint yourself, but as a bike that just looked cool as it was: Raw.

Planned as a wedding gift for Mark Cavendish and his wife Peta, from his Director Sportif at the time, Brian Holm, the Paul Smith Bullitt was a celebration of British and Danish friendships and relationships. Paul was brought on board to design this incredible Bullitt and threw all his energy and effort into realising a truly unique cargo bike.

In 2012, Harry packed his bags and headed south to Eurobike, the legendary annual cycling pilgrimage in Southern Germany. He had one clear mission in mind: find inspiration for a fresh Bullitt colour. In his mind, the answer seemed obvious—matte black. However, as Harry wandered the exhibition halls, he quickly recognized a hard truth: every brand had already painted their bikes matte black. Matte black had become the New black the industry’s standard. It had become too predictable.

When Bullitt made an entrance, it had to make an impression. The Bluebird was our first-ever commercialised colour, and it set the tone for what was to come.

Some bikes are built to blend in. The B-106 isn’t one of them. It’s silver, it’s shiny, sharp as a razorblade, and designed to ride fast. This bike doesn’t need to scream for attention - it just takes it. Bold, rebellious, and unmistakably Larry vs Harry, the B-106 is a tribute to everything we've built and everything we stand for.
