Brompton Bike Guide
Brompton Guide
Bromptons are the iconic folding bike. The basic design is the same on all bikes but there are many different options to choose from within the Brompton folding bike range. Unlike most other bikes sizing is based on seatpost and handlebar type rather than frame size. This guide will help you to choose the right Brompton bike for you.
New names.
Same great bikes.
Brompton folding bikes have been renamed to make choosing the right one a little easier. Each bike is listed with a name that shows its line, model and specification option.
For example:
Brompton C Line Explore with Rack High Handlebar, previously known as the H6R:
C Line - steel frame, mudguards, and folding pedals.
Explore model - 6-speed gearing and pump.
Options - high handlebar, and luggage rack.
See below for more information on the Bromton lines, models and options.
Lines
A Line
The most basic Brompton folding bike.
A Line bikes features a steel Brompton frame with standard pedals and no mudguards.
C Line
The core of the Brompton range.
C Line bikes feature a standard Brompton steel frame, have folding pedals and come with mudguards ready fitted.
P Line
The lightweight transformation
P-Line bikes feature titanium rear frame & fork, with next level componentry, and weigh 1.85Kg less than an equivalent C-Line bike.
Models
The C Line has three different model options. Each model has the standard features of its line but is intended for slightly different cycling environments with gearing to match.
Urban
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t
Ideal for cities
2-speed gears (C-Line) for flatter rides
Utility
Everthing in one hub
Robust all-rounder, ready for the day-to-day
Ideal for cities and some hills
3-speed gearing
Explore
Go anywhere. Do anything.
Designed for longer rides
Covers all contours at home or away
6-speed gears for hillier rides
Options
Handlebars
There are three different handlebar options for Bromptons.
Low - a flat handlebar that offers a sporty riding position. Shorter riders will find this option offers a regular riding position while taller riders will feel more tucked.
Handlebar height is 924mm.
Mid - a riser handlebar that offers a medium-upright cycling position. For most riders the Mid handlebar gives you that classic relaxed Brompton feel.
Handlebar height is 1015mm.
High- a riser handlebar with a high stem that offers a more upright cycling position. Taller riders will find this position relaxed. For others this High handlebar version offers a similar feel to a Dutch bike with minimum pressure on the hands and wrists.
Handlebar height is 1072mm.
Rear Rack
A rear luggage rack is available as an option too. This enables you to carry luggage over the rear wheel
Brompton Electric
The Brompton Electric is the ultimate electric folding e bike. Smart, fast, and reliable way to get around and explore your city. Designed for comfortable riding and featuring an intelligent pedal assist that gives you that extra push when you need it, it is for all cyclists, whether it's helping you fly up hills or easing those longer journeys to and from work.
Just like the all-pedal-powered version, a Brompton Electric folds up to a third of its size, and when folded, a Brompton stays locked together, making an extremely compact package, a little larger than its wheels.
Accessories and components
Luggage
Bromptons have a variety of ingenious luggage carrying solutions. As well as a rear luggage rack, the optional front carrier block allows you to carry up to 10Kg of luggage. This mounts onto the headtube rather than the handle bar so the added weight doesn’t affect the stability and handling of the bike. Brompton luggage is practical, stylish and made to last.
Other Brompton Accessories
As well as luggage, Brompton have a range of accessories designed specifically for their folding bikes. These include Cateye light sets with Brompton specific mounts, luggage mounting blocks, racks, mudguards, saddles and seatposts as well as spare parts.
Note: Bromptons from 2021 and earlier have a different naming convention. If you are looking at a 2021 Brompton bike, or if you would like to compare new models with older ones then read on.
2021 and Earlier Model Names
The basic characteristics of each Brompton bike from 2021 or earlier is summed up in the three characters of the model name. The first letter tells you which handlebar is fitted. Next is a number which tells you how many gears the bike has. The third letter tells you if the bike has mudguards and a rack. If there is an X as a fourth character, then the bike is a Superlight model with titanium parts.
e.g. the Brompton M3L has an M Type riser handlebar, three speed drivetrain and is fitted with mudguards
Handlebars
There are four different handlebar option on Bromptons.
S Type – a flat handle bar that offers a sporty riding position with a handle bar height of 924mm. Shorter riders will find this option offers a regular riding position while taller riders will feel more tucked.
M Type - a riser handle bar that offers a medium-upright cycling position with a 1015mm bar height. The M bar gives you that classic relaxed Brompton feel.
H Type - a riser handle bar with a high stem that offers a more upright cycling position. The bar height is 1072mm. Taller riders will find this position relaxed. For others this H handle bar version offers a similar feel to a Dutch bike with minimum pressure on the hands and wrists.
P Type - a P type multi position handlebar which offers multiple hand positions for different cycling situations. This gives you a variety of different riding positions from upright to tucked. Maximum height is 1030mm.
Gears
There are four gearing options for Bromptons.
1 Speed - Light and simple single speed - perfect for cycling on flat terrain.
2 Speed - Two gear options - for riding on flat terrain with the extra gear for those occasional hills.
3 Speed - Robust, enclosed three speed hub gears - good for riding flat and occasionally hilly terrain.
6 Speed - Six speed hub gears - for those who wish to take on longer rides and challenging inclines.
Each gearing option has a 50t chainring fitted as standard. You can also choose a custom chainring that is either smaller for easy pedalling, or larger for faster cycling.
