Brompton S2L-X

Brompton S2L-X

Brompton’s lightest weight off-the-peg bike.

When you understand their codes, you understand the Brompton range. ‘S’ stands for sporty flat bars (in contrast with the M3L’s Brompton U-shaped bars). ‘2’ stands for 2-speed derailleur gears. ‘L’ is for lightweight. ‘X’ is for extra lightweight.

The Brompton S2L-X is therefore a sporty 2-speed folding bike with flat bars. Titanium forks and rear stays make it lighter weight. The front wheel is also lighter weight as are the alloy headset and aluminium seat pillar.

• Reliable lightweight high tensile main frame.
• Brompton only make their main frames in steel because they believe in its lightweight reliable qualities.
• Crucially, steel tubes can be narrower diameter than aluminium.
• Steel tubing therefore contributes to making a Brompton a neater bike when folded.
• The fork, frame rear triangle, mudguard stays and folding pedal bolt are all lighter weight titanium alloy.
• Fold-friendly components.
• Dual pivot brakes protrude less than, say, V-brakes so that's what Brompton spec.
• Nippy, puncture-resistant 16 x 1 3/8" tyres contribute to the Brompton's neat fold.
• The S2L-X comes supplied with mudguards fitted.
• One Size: 58cm high x 54cm long x 27cm folded.
• Claimed weight 9.8kg.

Brompton
We are proud to introduce these unique British-manufactured bicycles to the Bike Co-op because...

• The only bicycles they produce are 16”-wheeled folders. This makes them probably the most specialist bicycle company in the world.
• Every Brompton is hand built in Britain. This makes them (along with Pashley) the only volume bicycle manufacturer in this country.
• Although there have introduced incremental improvements over the years, every Brompton employs the same inspired engineered solutions that company founder and owner, Andrew Ritchie, ingeniously devised in the 1980s.
• That is to produce a bicycle that rides well and which folds faster and neater than any other.
• With practice, a Brompton can be folded and unfolded in 10 seconds. That’s at least twice as fast as the majority of folding bikes.
• When folded, the front wheel guards the drivetrain so the chain can’t touch you.
• This design also guarantees that the bike can’t spontaneously unfold, with the result that carrying a Brompton onto a train, using the bike's frame or saddle as a handle, is as routine and drama-free as carrying a suitcase.
• Because all their bikes are assembled in Britain, Brompton are happy to offer a B-spoke service where they will build the bike to your spec.
• Interested in a singlespeed Brompton, or one with a telescoping seatpost for taller riders, or dynohub lighting, or bags fitted or a 2-tone paint job from a palette of 15 colours? Just ask.

Sometimes you have to wait for the good things in life.

Brompton bicycles are not mass produced. Every one is built to order. This means that if you order a Brompton from us, you might have to wait around 2 months before we can deliver it. As with any edinburghbicycle.com order, we will keep you informed of its progress.

How to order.

There are a huge number of customisable options from frame colour to optional luggage systems. To this end we recommend that you download this b-spoke order form, pick your perfect spec and send the details back to us at enquires@edinburghbicycle.com.
