Standard Colors and Limited Editions

For each model year, Brompton unveils a selection of muted and more flamboyant colors for the C-Line, and a couple of color options for the P-Line and Brompton Electric. A-Line bikes are generally available in one basic color.

In addition to standard color choices Brompton offers a trademark lacquer finish which shows off the the quality and craftsmanship of the hand-brazed frame. The Lacquer finish has a unique appearance due to variations in the surface coloration of the metalwork and brazing. The look is somewhat industrial in appearance with natural variations between individual bikes. Lacquer finishes have been offered in in various tints, including Raw, Black, Flame and Emerald.

Throughout the year, Brompton may introduce limited-time colors, or Special Edition models that are often the result of collaborations with other well know brads, including Bear Grylls, Barbour, CHPT3 and others.

Unlike in years past, it is currently not possible to order a custom Brompton with personalized color combinations.

Other Accessories and Upgrades

Lighting

• Upgrade to integrated lighting system powered by a dynamo front hub. The Shutter Precision generator hub is built into the front wheel, and powers front and rear Busch & Mueller lights. The system is always with your bike so you’re never caught in the dark.
  Occasionally, complete Bromptons are available with integrated lighting pre-installed. On existing Bromptons this upgrade requires replacing the front wheel.

• Reachable battery front and rear LED lights are available from Brompton with customized mounts that work so you don’t have to remove the lights when folding the bike.

Seating

• Choose form standard, extended or telescopic seatpost. In addition to accommodating very tall riders, the 2-piece telescopic seatpost makes it easy to pack the Brompton into a suitcase without disassembling the saddle clamp.

• Options offered by Brompton include their own branded saddle in standard and wide widths, Brooks B17 Special saddle in Antique Brown leather, and Brooks Cambium saddle.

• P-Line and T-Line models include ultralight saddles.

• Don’t care for any of these options? Any standard bike saddle will fit on a Brompton.

Other

• Brompton Toolkit: a cleverly designed tool set that fits neatly and securely inside the front part of the bike frame, and contains well-made essentials for removing the wheels, fixing flats, and adjusting all the bols found on a Brompton.

• A Quad Lock phone mount made specifically to work with Brompton handlebars.

• Luggage: an impressive assortment of bags of various sizes that mount with the simple click to the carrier block included on all Bromptons (sold separately for the A-Line). The luggage range includes large shoulder bags suitable for touring, office-style bags, backpacks, shopping bags and totes. Bags are available in neutral colors, and a selection of patterns which coordinate with Brompton colors for each model year.
  A limited luggage range is available for Brompton Electric, where the front carrier space is occupied by the battery.

After-Market Accessories

There’s a whole industry of additional accessories and upgrades available for Brompton, including luggage, bells, grips, racks and more. Keep in mind that replacing components integral to the Brompton or the Brompton fold (for example, hinge clamps, seat pillars, suspension blocks, wheels, handlebars, etc.) voids the Brompton warranty in case of failure, so use your best judgment when replacing components on a any Brompton that is still within the warranty period.
