The Brompton Black Edition is something special, with only 5000 being produced for the entire global demand we don't expect these will be around for very long!

 

Please note that due to Brompton dealer terms all Brompton Bicycles can only be collected in person from our shop in Bath as Brompton specify that their dealers are not allowed to post their bikes to new customers. Our apologies for this, it's frustrating for us too!



Here's what Brompton have to say about the Brompton Black Edition themselves;


"Brompton, the UK’s largest bike manufacturer, is excited to launch a new take on the classic Brompton finish: The Black Edition.

For the first time, the Black Edition bikes will feature a number of key components in black rather than the usual silver, and have been developed after years of interest in the possibility of an all-black Brompton.

Sleek and smart, the Black Edition is designed with the streetwise urban cyclist in mind, and gets top marks for style while retaining all of the original, carefully considered design features that makes Brompton respected across the globe.

Chief Executive Officer, Will Butler-Adams OBE says of the Black Edition: “I’m lucky that my job enables me to travel to many cities around the world. One of my favourite things to do is to cycle through cities at night, the roads are often quieter and you see a different side to city life, lit up against the backdrop of the dark sky. City life at night was the inspiration behind the Black Edition, we were keen to try a sleek matt black Brompton mixed with pops of bright colour, as well as the full black effect.”

 

 

Worthy of being considered a modern day design classic, the Brompton bicycle represents a simple concept elegantly executed to produce a bike that is strong, agile, practical and of course ultimately extremely portable, the Brompton bicycle could be argued to be the bench mark against which all other folding bikes are judged.

This may be considered something of a sweeping statement which is why we are always careful not to describe Brompton as the 'best' folding bike (which is a question often asked of us) as this is entirely subjective depending on the situation the bike is to be used. The Brompton can however be described as the 'best' in the areas in which it excels, there is certainly no other practical folding bike that can fold as small and in our opinion we would be happy to make claim that Brompton have a build quality that is matched by few and surpassed by no other manufacturer of folding bikes.

The hand brazed steel fame (with a titanium option also available) comes with various options, all of which can be customer defined if desired from the colour through to the gearing. The most significant of these options would be that of the handlebar style which will define the bar height (a choice of the H, M, S or P type) and the gearing (which can range from one speed through to 6, with the additional option to raise or lower the gearing to suit the rider). Beyond this the additional options will tend to be what additional items may be fitted to the bike (ie. mudguards, rack, lights etc), or personal preferences including perhaps the hardest choice of all, the colour!

The folded size is largely unaffected by the various options and measures 585mm high x 545mm long x 270mm wide (23" x 21.5" x 10.6"). The total weight of a Brompton bicycle can range from 9 – 12½ kg (20 – 28lbs) depending on the configuration selected.

If you would like to review the options in full you can use our Brompton bicycle builder which will present all the options available in an easy to understand step by step guide so that you can custom build your perfect bike. Of course in our many years of experience with Brompton bicycles we have found that there tends to be a pattern in the most popular configurations, so we keep a range of models in stock that reflect this in a variety of colours so you can pick up a Brompton from us without delay.

 

 

Model Types

M Type: The classic Brompton handlebar shape. This was once the only option and it's a great all rounder, upright enough to provide comfortable visibility but not quite as upright as the 'H' bar.

S Type: This is the lowest, sportiest handle bar that provides a faster and more aggressive position on the Brompton. The trade off is less room for front luggage due to lower bar so the only compatible bag is the smaller S-Bag.


Speed Options

2 speed: One of the lightest configurations as it uses a simple twin sprocket rather than an internal hub gear, but obviously forgoes the gear range that a 6 speed model would provide.

6 speed: Combining the highly efficient BWR (Brompton Wide Range) hub with the simple Brompton derailleur system to provide 6 evenly spaced gears making it the perfect choice for touring and hilly areas. In our opinion, given the negligible difference in weight between the 3 speed and the 6 speed the latter is well worth the extra for the piece of mind of having a lower (easier) gear in hand for those unexpected climbs!

Rack and Mudguard Options

All of the Brompton Black edition bikes are configured as 'L' versions. The 'L' simply means the Brompton is equipped with mudguards, undoubtedly the most popular choice for obvious reasons!
