Helpful Notes for Ordering a Brompton Folding Bicycle

Several variations of Brompton folding bicycles are described below - so many in fact that it is easy to become confused when trying to decide which Brompton model is the right one for you. Therefore, we have now added an introductory section to our Price List that describes the three main Brompton models.

To further assist you in choosing a Brompton, please feel free to call us to discuss your needs. We can help you get an idea of what will be best for you.

There are three Brompton formats

Each format is determined by the shape of the handle bars.

M-type

The gull-wing shape of the M Type's handlebars gives a fairly upright ride with excellent control, and there is scope for a little fore/aft adjustment. The M Type is the all-rounder in our range and remains the most popular Brompton.

S-type

For many, this is the prettiest Brompton, and with its Kevlar brake cables and high-tensile-alloy handlebar, it is the lightest. The grips are lower than on the M type, and further forward, giving a sporty riding position.

P-type

Has a large, circular handle bar system allowing a more upright position and a low riding option. This set-up is useful for bicycle touring as it allows many hand positions during a longer ride.
