If you’d like to try one out, stop by and we’ll let you take one for a spin.
Brompton
This is an example of a standard Brompton folding bike, shown in both the unfolded and folded positions. The model on the left has the M-style handlebars and a rear rack. The model on the right has the S-style bars and no rack.
handlebar options
The first and most important choice to make when choosing your Brompton is the handlebar type. Different handlebars offer different riding heights and positions. See the options below.
s bar
Gives the rider a sporty riding position similar to a road bike.
h bar
For tall people or people who like an upright riding position.
m bar
The most popular handlebar style that gives the rider a comfortable upright riding position.
p bar
Allows the rider to change up their handlebar position between upright and sporty.
gearing options
Brompton offers different gearing options based on the type of riding you plan to do with your bike. Each different gearing type can also have its range adjusted by selecting different front chain rings. The standard gearing uses a 50-tooth chain ring, Reduced gearing uses a 44-tooth chain ring, or you can go big with a 54-tooth chain ring.
1-Speed – Lightweight and great for riding on flat terrain.
2-Speed – Lightweight and gives you some gearing change by adding the Brompton chain pusher that moves the chain similar to a derailleur.
3-Speed – The three speed uses an internally geared hub for shifting. It adds a bit of weight to the bike, but has the advantage of being able to be shifted when the bike is at a dead stop.
6-Speed – A combination of the 2 and 3 speed to give you the widest gearing available from Brompton.
racks & fenders
Bromptons are available with just fenders (L-Type) or with fenders and a rack (R-Type).
The Brompton shown is an R model bike. The rear rack gives the bike a solid stand that will make it more stable when rolling the folded bike around.
color options
Brompton bikes are available in a wide variety of colors. Premium finishes like Raw Lacquer are also available.
models
A Brompton model number consists of its bar type, number of speeds, and whether or not it has a rack. For example, a H6R Brompton bike would be have a higher handlebar, 6 speeds, and a rack.
