 THE BROMPTON WAY
The Brompton was conceived as a prod-
uct that increases people’s indepen-
dence and freedom, and this concept is
still at the heart of everything we do; so
we make bikes that our customers can
rely on wherever and whenever they
use them. We believe that this approach
should inform the way we act, not just
what we make, and that it should extend,
through our distributors and dealers, to
the end user. Everyone involved should
feel comfortable with the purchase they
make and satisfied that they had free-
dom of choice.

INTRODUCING BROMPTON
Brompton bikes are different. They are full-sized, robust and
agile yet fold easily and quickly into a highly compact, portable
package. They bring together the performance of a high-quality
fixed-frame bicycle with the convenience of a genuine folder.
Neither the ride quality nor fold are afterthoughts.
We also build them differently: by hand, from scratch, in our
own factory in West London. And we build them to last and
to be used - rigorously - every day. They are practical, reli-
able machines, designed and manufactured with real life, not the
showroom, in mind… a bike you can depend on.
So everything on a Brompton is there for a reason. Everything
is designed to ensure years of fun, responsive cycling, easy fold-
ing and comfortable, compact portability.
We think you’ll love our bikes, and the independence and free-
dom that comes with a Brompton… You might even wonder
how you ever managed without a bike that tears up the trans-
port rule book and puts you back in charge of your journeys.
THE FACTORY
Brompton’s reputation has always been founded on excellence in design, en-
gineering and manufacturing; which is why we do not build bikes for anyone
else, and why no one else builds bikes for us. It is the only way to ensure the
necessary quality on our hand-built bicycles.
Every Brompton is built to order, under stringent quality controls, in our own
factory in West London. And we really mean “build”: we don’t just assemble
parts manufactured elsewhere. Most of the critical engineering, from bending
tube through frame-building to final assembly, takes place here, and we retain
complete control over materials. For every bike we ship, we can identify the
individual whose work went into each key stage of its manufacture.
The Brompton consists of some 1,200 parts, three quarters of which are unique
to our bicycles (most generic parts simply aren’t right for our bikes). But this
means we also have to design and build the machines, tools and fixtures to
manufacture these unique parts. It all happens here.
And building unique bikes, and utilising rare skills like brazing, requires a real
commitment to training and excellence. There are no short cuts to quality and
everyone who works here – brazers, assemblers, office staff and engineers
alike – all have an overriding commitment to it. We are proud of our attention
to detail, of our emphasis on making robust products that simply work. Above
all, we know how the bikes should be, and why quality still matters; and as we
all use a Brompton, we also get the benefit of these quintessential Brompton
characteristics every day.
 HEADING
THE DESIGN
All Bromptons share the same ingenious frame geometry, the result of over 30 years of constant innovation
and improvements to the design, and for which Andrew Ritchie was awarded the Prince Philip Designers
Prize in 2009. But it nearly didn’t happen at all.
Andrew began work on the Brompton design in his bedroom in 1975 and devised the core principles rela-
tively quickly; but potential backers and partners failed to see the possibilities, and it was a further 13 years
before full-time production could finally begin, by which time Andrew had greatly developed and improved
upon his original creation. The design process now involves more people, complex software and a more ap-
propriate venue than Andrew’s apartment, but the goal remains to create the perfect combination of ride
and compact portability. Moreover, we refuse to design obsolescence into our bikes, so practically all innova-
tions are designed to be retrofitted on the tens of thousands of older Bromptons still in daily use.
The Brompton Ride
Brompton frames are made primarily of high-tensile steel alloys for strength and stiffness, and tight toler-
ances in design and manufacturing ensure highly accurate frame-alignment. Excellent frame rigidity and
alignment ensure the efficient transmission of your energy, delivering a responsive, quick ride; a full-sized
wheelbase delivers stability at speed.
The Brompton Fold
All Bromptons fold into the same small package, little larger than the wheels, in 10–20 seconds. The compo-
nentry has been specially designed to suit the unique fold, designed to keep lights, cables, etc. out of harm’s
way and, by folding them in, to keep the chain and gears away from clothing and luggage.With no projections
or loose parts, the folded bike carries like a small suitcase. Rollers make it easy to stow the bike, and can
also be used for wheeling the folded bike. Rear suspension is standard and also allows the bike to be ‘parked’.
Once parked, the Brompton stands on its own, leaving both hands free. Once folded, a Brompton automati-
cally stays securely locked together.

CHOOSING A BROMPTON
A Brompton will easily become part of your daily life, but it helps if it is built around your needs and wishes.
As the requirements of the global traveller are different from those of the commuter, we have developed
many options to make your Brompton just right for you and the kind of cycling you intend to do. Ride posi-
tion, 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.
Bike companies don’t usually invite customers to pick and choose from a selection of parts and features, so
we understand that our manifesto of freedom may at first appear overwhelming. But there’s really nothing
to it, and it will almost certainly enhance your Brompton ownership. Nor is it about adding extra costs along
with more features – 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 no premium for having a bike “B-spoked”.
You’ll find the B-spoke options laid out over the next few pages; in each section, you can choose the option(s)
that best suit the way in which you intend to use your Brompton... 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
around you, a B-spoke bike is more likely to give you exactly what you want. And that’s what we 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 if that doesn’t help either, our so-called Key Models towards the back
show some of our most popular configurations, even if they only offer the merest glimpse of our full range.

SUSPENSION
Suspension is important on a small-
wheeled bike. Ours is provided by
a polyurethane block between the
main and rear frames; lightweight
and effective, it smoothes out the
lumps and bumps en route, while the
inherent damping avoids excessive
“bounce”. Two levels of resistance
are available, to suit body weight and
riding style:

the tyres and wheels are unsuitable. For full warranty
