PERSONAL TRANSPORTTHE BR OMPTON WAY

The past year has been extraordinary. Among the highlights, an MBE for Andrew Ritchie, the inventorof the Brompton, to go with his Prince Philip Designers Prize; the company received two Queen’sAwards for Enterprise (for both Innovation and International Trade) as well as the BikeBiz Brandof the Year award from our peers in the industry; and the 5th instalment of the Brompton WorldChampionship, with 750 registered riders, has now become an established part of the (British) racingcalendar.

The story of the past 12 months is of a company whose future is bound up with its history: there isa Brompton Way of doing things, marrying excellence in design, engineering and manufacturing witha passion for doing it all here in London. Brompton has never followed the easy option, insisting ongetting things right rather than getting them easily or rst, and that remains our approach.

At the heart of the Brompton Way is a belief that designs and innovations should be built to last, justlike the bikes themselves. So Bromptons are practical, reliable machines, designed and manufacturedwith real life, not the showroom, in mind.

This total commitment to excellence through the entire product lifecycle has long been cherishedby Brompton owners, but it is an approach that is now being recognised more widely for its successand sustainability.

We hope this brochure goes some way to showing you why we are different, and why it matters.

A Brompton will redene how you see transport.

It ts in with you and your journeys, whether you are a city commuter or a global tourer, in a hurryor taking your time.

Whether you use public or private transport, or neither, a Brompton allows you to rethink, vary andadapt your journeys at will. A Brompton sets you free from the constraints imposed by the combus-tion engine, weather, transport systems, bike thieves and other hassles.

On trains and buses it tucks into luggage space and it’s easily checked in for commercial ights... incars, on boats, behind the pi lot’s seat of a single-prop, Bromptons are taken on trips as often as theytake their owners on journeys.

And whether your trip involves other forms of transport or just your bike, when it’s over yourBrompton ts in a cupboard, under a desk or in a cloakroom, safe from theft and the elements, readyfor your next journey by personal transport.

We think you’ll love our bikes, and the independence and freedom that comes with a Brompton. Youmight even wonder how you ever managed without a bike that tears up the transport rule book andputs you back in charge of your journeys.

OUR FACTORYTHE DESIGN

Our reputation is based on excellence in design, engineering and manufacturing, which is why we do

not build bikes for anyone else, and why no one builds bikes for us. We build our bikes to last and to

be used – rigorously – on a daily basis, and that takes care and commitment.

Every Brompton is built from scratch, under stringent quality controls, in our factory in West London;

we don’t just assemble parts manufactured elsewhere. We even make most of the 1,200 parts that

go into each Brompton. And for every bike we ship, we know whose work went into each stage of 

its manufacture. In the context of today’s bike industry, our approach is extraordinarily rare, but it is

the only way to ensure the necessary quality on our hand-built bicycles.

There are no short cuts to quality and everyone who works here – brazers, assemblers, ofce staff and engineers alike – all have an overriding commitment to it. We are proud of our attention to de-

tail, of our emphasis on making robust products that simply work. And we all use a Brompton so we

know how the bikes should be, and why quality matters.

All Bromptons share the same frame geometry, the result of 35 years of constant innovation and im-

provement, going back to the rst prototypes developed by Andrew Ritchie in hi s bedroom in 1975.

Today, the design process involves more people and complex software, but the goal remains to

create the perfect combination of ride quality and compact portability, with neither treated as an

afterthought. We also refuse to design obsolescence into our bikes, so practically all innovations are

designed to be retrotted on the tens of thousands of older Bromptons still in daily use.

Every Brompton folds down into a small package, little larger than the wheels, in 10 to 20 seconds.

The componentry has been designed to suit this unique fold, keeping lights, cables, etc. out of harm’s

way and, by folding them in, keeping the chain and gears away from clothing and luggage. With no pro- jections or loose par ts, the folded bike carries like a small suitcase; rollers make it easy to stow the

bike. Rear suspension is standard and also allows the bike to be ‘parked’. Parked, a Brompton stands

on its own, leaving both hands free. Folded, a Brompton automatically stays securely locked together.

 Just as remarkable as the fold is the Brompton’s ride quality. The frames are made primarily of high-

tensile steel alloys for strength and stiffness, and tight tolerances in design and manufacturing ensure

highly accurate frame-alignment. Excellent frame rigidity ensures that the cyclist’s ef forts are ef-

ciently converted into a responsive, quick ride, while a full-sized wheelbase delivers stability at speed.

B-SPOKE YOUR BROMPTONCHOOSING A BROMPTON

P Type The P Type was designed with

the touring cyclist in mind – two

positions (height 1033mm and

880mm) offer the rider some

variety; the lower angled grips

present an aerodynamic prole,

the upper grips provide upright

control, ideal in trafc. The con-

sequence of this exibility is

weight: the handlebars are 326g

heavier than the S Type’s.

There are three members of the Brompton family – the S, M

and P Types; each has distinct handlebars designed for differ-

ent styles of riding and use.

The base bike is a Brompton S1E, tted with a standard seat

pillar and Brompton Kevlar tyres, weighing 10.17kg. The op-

tions that follow either add to that base weight (more gears,

rear rack), or subtract from it (Superlight frame, Kojak tyres),

to give the weight of the B-spoked bike.

S Type The straight, low bars of the S

Type (grip height 935mm) offer

a sporty ride position and a rig-

id, lightweight, positive feel. The

pay-off is less room for front

luggage, but then the S Type was

not conceived as a touring bike.

M Type The distinctive shape of the

M Type’s handlebars has been

used on the Brompton since the

outset: the ride is more upright

(height 1015mm), with excellent

control, but a little heavier than

the S Type (by 58g). The M Type

is the all-rounder in our range,

as much at home in the city

as on a country lane, and with

plenty of room for luggage at

the front.

A Brompton will easily become part of your daily li fe, but it helps if it is built around your needs. As every-

one’s requirements are different, we have developed many options to make your Brompton just right for you

and the kind of cycling you intend to do. Ride position, gearing, luggage, Superlight componentry, lighting and

other parts can all be selected to suit, and the colour options allow you to personalise it further.

We call it B-spoke™; our commitment to letting you choose exactly the Brompton you want.

We know that all this choice can be as overwhelming as it is unusual among bike companies; all told, there

are some 150 million possible congurations, not counting the luggage options. But there’s really nothing to

it, and it will almost certainly enhance your Brompton ownership. Moreover, a B-spoke bike will feature only

those components you want so may well be cheaper than a bike your dealer happens to have in stock. And

there is absolutely no premium for having a bike “B-spoked”.

You’ll nd the B-spoke options set out over the following pages. You might value the functionality of hub gears

and mudguards more than you mind the extra weight; you may prefer the individuality of a rarely-seen colour

combination or the practicality of a bike cover or item of luggage; the choices are yours. Designed by you, a

B-spoke bike is more likely to give you exactly what you want.

If you’re not sure where to begin, some staff and friends of Brompton explain their bike choices in the pages

that follow the B-spoke options. And our so-called Key Models towards the back show some of our most

popular congurations, even if they only offer a glimpse of our full range.

There are four options as

far as gears go; and each of 

these can be lowered (or

raised) to suit your riding

style and terrain.

1 Speed 

Light, simple and without clutter,

using our special free-hub: for

the purist.

2 Speed (+188g)

One gear for hills and starting

off, one for cruising. Based on

the unique Brompton derailleur

system, with near perfect chain-

alignment, this is the best set-up

for exibility and portability. All

you need for cycling around

town.

3 Speed (+738g)

The BSR [Brompton Standard

Range] is an updated version

of the classic Sturmey Archer

hub in an aluminium alloy shell,

three well-spaced gears. These

are fully enclosed for reliability,

and changing gear couldn’t be

simpler; a popular choice for ev-

eryday cycling.

6 Speed (+920g)

The combination of the highly-

efcient BWR [Brompton Wide

Range] hub with our own de-

railleur system gives six evenly-

spaced gears. Control with the

two triggers is easy and, with

its low transmission losses and

wide range, this multi-gear sys-

tem is the right choice for tour-

ing and for riding in hilly areas.

ALL-STEELFRAME 

On all Bromptons, steel is used for the main frame and handlebar stem. The steel

gives rigidity to the vital link between handlebar and pedals, which is the key to

good handling. All-steel Bromptons also feature a rear triangle, front fork and seat

pillar made of steel.

SUPERLIGHT FRAME

(-790g to -1050g, depending on Version and seat pillar length)

The Superlight option offers signicant weight savings and will appeal particularly if 

you expect to carry the bike regularly.

Version E Going without mudguards lends the bike asharper appearance and is also the lightest andleast expensive option, but there are drawbacks:the folded bike is not as stable, there’s no pump

and of course no protection from any water ordirt on the road.

Version L (+285g)Equipped with mudguards, es-sential for non-fair-weather cy-clists.

Version R (+430g)Whether or not you have front luggage, a carrier on the bike can beuseful. The die-cast aluminium rack comes wi th shock cords and caneasily manage loads of up to 10kg.

Whether your Brompton will go on big tours or small trips, our colour palette allows you to

stamp your personality on your bike. There is of course no weight penalty associated with

specifying an individual colour scheme, and opting for “non-standard” colours is kept deliber-

ately affordable.

On a bike with an all-steel frame you can choose eit her to have it nished in one colour or t wo,

with the extremities and main frame contrasting; the only exception is the Raw Lacquer option,

which is only available for the whole frame, not in combination.

The titanium parts on Superlight bikes are not painted, so only one colour choice is possible

(for the main frame and handlebar stem).

Brompton offers three seat

pillar lengths to ensure the

right t. Aluminium seat pil -

lars are supplied in place of 

steel versions with Super-

light bikes.

For an all-steel bike the handle-bar stem is the same colour as

the bike’s extremities; in the

case of a Superlight bike, thehandlebar stem is the same co-

lour as the bike’s main frame.

Standard Seat Pillar Raises a saddle up to 995mmfrom the ground. If your insideleg is more than 33”/84cm, youwill almost certainly need a lon-ger seat pillar.

Extended Seat Pillar(+105g steel; +49g aluminium)Offers an additional 60mm of el-evation, though it does leave thesaddle correspondingly higherwhen folded.

Telescopic Seat Pillar(+364g steel; +241g aluminium)Offers up to 175mm more el-evation than a standard pillaryet, when lowered, the saddleprojects only 20mm above thefolded package.

Brompton KevlarOur standard tyre is exceptionally free-running,

durable yet light. The Kevlar belt under the tread

almost eliminates punctures. Finished with reec-

tive sidewalls as standard.

Schwalbe Kojak (-232g) The Kojak is the fastest tyre we’ve ever t-

ted on the Brompton; light and puncture-resistant

(thanks to a RaceGuard strip), a Kevlar bead also

allows it to be folded, making it easy to pack as a

spare. Finished with reective sidewalls.

Schwalbe Marathon(+144g) Heavier than the Brompton tyre and no-

ticeably slower, but it offers even better grip and is

solidly-built, with a Kevlar belt and a thicker side-

wall. Finished with reective sidewalls.

Firm SuspensionPossibly more suitable forthose weighing over 80kg,those who cycle more ag-gressively and those preparedto sacrice some comfort inreturn for a more responsiveride.

Suspension is importanton a small-wheeled bike.Ours is provided by a poly-urethane block betweenthe main and rear frames;lightweight and effective,it smoothes out the lumpsand bumps en route, whilethe inherent dampingavoids excessive “bounce”.Two levels of resistanceare available, to suit bodyweight and riding style:

Standard SuspensionFine for many users, particularly

lighter people and those who

ride and pedal smoothly.

Shimano HubDynamo Lighting(+446g) Hub dynamos offer avery reliable lighting solution,and this hub dynamo, speci-cally adapted for the Bromp-ton by Shimano, offers verygood performance at a keenprice. Features include a Busch& Müller halogen front lampand a stand light function atthe rear.

SON Hub

Dynamo Lighting(+236g) The Son hub is beau-tifully engineered, highly ef-cient, and will give years of reliable service. This optionfeatures a powerful Busch &

Müller LED front lamp, an au-tomatic light-sensing functionand a stand light function atthe front as well as the rear.

Our lighting systems are

designed for use with our

bikes and are safe from

damage in the folded pack-

age. Any of our lighting op-

tions can be tted to any

bike, though tting a hub

dynamo to a Superlight bike

will mean the loss of the

“extra-light” front wheel.

Battery Lighting 

(+158g) The LED rear lamp with integral reectors is designed especially for Brompton and gives a good bright light: this stays

xed to the bike. At the front is the neat yet powerful S-Sun 3-LED lamp, easily removed for folding with a quick-release. Batteries

are included.

Brompton SaddleSporty, comfortable, practical, this high-quality unisex saddle

has been designed by Brompton specically for our bikes. A

moulded grip under the nose facilitates carrying, and the in-

genious and incredibly light Brompton Pentaclip allows step-

less adjustment of the saddle angle.

Brooks B17 Special (+217g) & Brooks B17S Special (+169g)

This beautiful traditional saddle will give years of comfort able cycling, the leather moulding with

time to the rider. Finished with hand-hammered copper rivets, copper rails, and tted with the

Brompton Pentaclip for stepless adjustment, this old favourite is available in men’s and women’s

versions.

For all the options and B-spoke possibilities, the question we are asked most often at bike shows is, “How

much do they weigh?”

Weight matters; people don’t buy bikes to save on a barbell. But it isn’t everything. Ride quality, alignment,

efciency and reliability are all likely to prove more important in use, yet are often overlooked by a xation

on weight. And the compactness and balance of the folded package is as important as weight in determining

how easy a folded bike is to carry.

We are constantly striving for new ways to reduce the weight of our bikes – our products are, after all, famous

for their portability. But removing weight is not the only concern, and certainly not something we do at all

costs. We could incorporate many lightweight materials into our bikes, but those that don’t already feature

have been rejected for shortcomings in longevity, reliability or robustness. We want our bikes to stand the

test of time, and robustness sometimes simply weighs more.

Finally, not all bikes are weighed equally, so treat brochure data with caution... Brompton uses true weights,

meaning we weigh our bikes with pedals and wheels/tyres attached; if mudguards are tted, we weigh those

too... We believe that you want to know how much your bike really weighs, not how much it weighs if we

remove some parts.

P.S. The answer to the question is: “Actual weight depends on model and conguration, but ranges between

9kg to 12.5kg, or 20 to 28lbs.”

KEY MODEL 

S2L / S2L-X

The S Type’s sporty character

is complemented by our nim-

ble 2-speed gearing; avoiding

hub gears results in a light bike

that can handle most journeys.

Supplied with mudguards and

battery lighting.

10.7kg / 9.8kg

KEY MODEL

M3L / M3L-X

The classic Brompton, featur-

ing the BSR Sturmey Archer

3-speed hub; a versatile com-

bination for the all-rounder in

our Key Model line up.

Supplied with mudguards and

battery lighting.

11.5kg / 10.5kg

KEY MODEL 

P6R / P6R-X

With a rear rack for additional

luggage and 6 well-spaced

gears, more kit means more

weight; but the P6R is de-

signed for longer trips, rather

than short commutes.

Supplied with mudguards, rear

rack and Shimano hub dynamo

lighting.

12.4kg / 11.5kg

These six bikes offer a snapshot of our full range and are some of our most popular congurations. Each

key model is available in all-steel and Superlight spec [-X]. Weights include everything, even the removable

battery lights (yes, with batteries in them).

Cover and Saddle Bag (+295g)

A cover is often useful, especially on public transport. The zip-up Brompton

Cover is quick to t and remove and can be drawn tight around the base of 

the bike using its draw cord. The cover comes in a saddle bag for storage.

B Bag (2.4kg)Made of tough nylon with 5mm padding to give a degree of protection foryour Brompton when travelling. The base is reinforced, and has integral cas-tors: there are extra pockets, and it comes with a shoulder strap as well ashandles. Packs down at for storage.

B Pod (5kg)

For those seeking even more protection for their Brompton while trav-

elling, the B Pod offers a rigid moulded EVA shell, with the Brompton

strapped securely in place within. Although it cannot be folded down like

a B Bag, the B Pod is designed to be as manoeuvrable a s a wheeled suit-

case, with a telescopic handle and integrated wheels, offering door-to-

door portability and a worry-free way to take a Brompton on holiday

or business.

Eazy Wheels (+85g/+43g)4 tyred rollers (2 when tted to a Brompton without a rear rack) withindustrial bearings allow the folded bike to be smoothly pushed around. Arubber bung in the seat post can be used as a brake to prevent unwantedrolling.
