Sizing your Brompton for you!

Hi everybody this is sahill from Curbside cycle I’m here to talk to you today about choosing the right Brompton for 2024 before we get started why choose a Brompton in the first place bromton has been around for nearly 50 years using a tried andrue design that has been well- loved through all that time around the world there’s a community of bromton riders who absolutely love their bikes

Bromton is the world’s best folding bike for ride quality transportation and storage one of the easiest bikes to fold and unfold as well as coming down to an extremely small package all without sacrificing any ride quality besides just taking up less space whether this is in your apartment or your car one of

The great advantages of having such a small bike is that you can take it with you anywhere this means that rather than locking it outside you can bring it indoors with you when you go to places and even take it shopping with you besides the convenience of this this

Really brings down the chances of your bike being stolen another great benefit of this is that you can travel with your bike very easily if you’re interested in some tips on traveling with your bromton we’ve done a whole other video on this that you can check Out we’ll get into the electric bikes afterwards but we’ll start off with the standards here at curbside we offer the cine Pine and all new tline Brompton let’s get into what of those mean with a strong All Steel construction to be durable and long lasting the sea line is

The classic prompton the sea line has a number of customizations so that you can pick your riding position which is determined by your handlebar height as well as the number of speeds which will determine what kind of gearing range you have the Seine comes as either the two-speed Urban option or the six-speed

Explore option the two-speed Urban Brompton uses a two Cog external shifter that gives you you both a gear for Speed as well as a lighter gear for climbing if you live in a flatter area and tend to go on shorter rides or just use your bike for commuting chances are these two

Speeds is going to make the urban Brompton perfect for you it’s also 8% lighter than the explore Brompton sitting at 24.8 lb total whereas the Explorer is 262 the benefit of the explore bromton though is that you get six speeds which offers you a much wider gearing range

Brompton achieves this without getting a huge weight difference by using a combination of a three-speed wide range internal gear Hub as well as a much lighter two-speed like the urban Brompton has this might sound like a lot but it actually ends up giving you about three lounds of weight savings compared

To if you were to have a comparable gear range on just an internally geared bike while having long lasting durability of the internal gear Hub the other benefit of the explore Brompton is the exploration if you see yourself riding in Hillier areas wanting to use your bike for longer distances or just

Wanting to use your bike more you can travel anywhere knowing safely that your Brompton is going to take whatever the world can throw at you the last major customization for your Brompton is going to be choosing what your handlebar type is the cine bromton gives you the option

Of having either a low mid or high handlebar this will determine your riding position and we’ll get into this in a bit more detail later in the video the sea line bromton comes standard with fenders to keep you dry on those rainy days as well as a front carrier block to

Clip on baggage of course if you’re like me the most important part of making sure that you’ve got the bright bike is picking the right color you can get your sea line bromton in the allnew Yuzu lime dun sand or ocean blue or in any of the classic matcha green racing green or

Black there’s also two premium lacquer finishes flame lacquer as well as my personal favorite the black lacquer let’s talk about the pine if you’re looking for a more performance-oriented bike the pine is going to be the bike for you at a lightweight 21.3 lb the pine Brompton is a whole 5.2 lb lighter

Than the Seine Explorer or 3 and 1/2 lb lighter than the Seine Urban while still offering you a wider gearing range than the urban while the main frame is still made of steel the pine gives you a titanium Fork as well as a titanium rear triangle which gives you quite a bit of

Weight savings while having the same durability as steel the pine also finds weight savings with its premium carbon based saddle as well as super light quick release pedals on the wheels you get fast rolling lightweight Continental contact tires as well the pine also has advanced roller wheels for when the bike

Is folded up to be able to lift it off the ground and transport around a bit more easily as an option you can also get the advanced roller frame which is only compatible with the pine or the tline Line This is effectively a rear rack that has the same weight capacity

As a standard rear rack but is a little bit lighter and has a nicer design like the sea line Brompton the pine is offered with low mid or high handlebars to determine your riding position and comes in a range of colors as well new colors for 2024 are bronze sky and lunar

Ice and the returning colors are the ever popular bolt blue midnight black or flame lacquer [Applause] Now if you’re looking for the absolute lightest bromton that you can get your hands on let’s talk about the all new tline with an all titanium frame and rear triangle the tline is the fastest and lightest bromton made to date the tline also features a carbon Fork as

Well as a carbon seat post crank set and handlebar besides just weight savings these parts are super stiff while also giving you a lot of vibration dampening leading to a smoother ride while still having the same strength of steel to manufacture these bikes to the high standards that they require and for the

Materials that they’re using bromton has actually opened an all new Factory in Sheffield that’s dedicated entirely to the taline this TIG welded titanium frame can get you a bike as light as 16.45 lb for a single speed that’s crazy light you can also get your tline bike with a wider range four-speed gearing

Like the pine bike this comes in at 19.8 lb still super light like the pine the tline bikes also use the super light quick relase pedal system and as a nice touch they’ve also redesigned the hinge clamp design just for the taline this is now self-aligning and is a lot Slicker

And saves time when you’re folding and unfolding the bike to top it off you also get schwabb one tires which are one of the fastest rolling lightest tires that you can get for handlebar height you can choose between low and mid for your t-line bike Let’s talk about the electric Brompton first off why choose a Brompton electric electric bikes have become massively popular over the last several years and this is with great reason adding a pedal assist motor onto the bike allows you to go farther faster and ride your bike in

Places that you may never have been able to before the motor can give you up to 25 km perh of assistance this helps you go longer distances because you use a lot less energy and can tackle much steeper and longer Hills depending on the level of pedal assistance that you

Use you can get a 40 to 80 km range out of one charge one quick note before we move into the models is that if you want to fly with your bromton electric bike you will have to leave your battery at home as this is not allowed on passenger

Planes for 2024 you can get a bromton electric as either the electric C line or the electric P line the bromton electric SE line comes standard with four-speed Urban gearing which saves some weight and makes it easier to carry it’s offered with either the mid or high

Handlebars adding a motor and a battery onto a bike is going to make it a little bit heavier as well the Brompton electric sea line manages to still stay at a fairly light weight at 30.2 lb without the battery on or 362 lbs with the battery you can also get your

Bromton electric sea line in all the different colors that you can for the standard Seine bike as I mentioned earlier this year you can also get a bromton electric Pine this is exactly the same as the standard Pine except that it has the addition of the pedal

Assist motor you can choose from either the mid or high handlebars for your electric Pine the electric Pine gives you 2.2 lbs of weight savings over the electric sea line bringing it to 27.7 lb without the battery or 34.1 lb with if you like the idea of the electric seaon

Line but you want to have that little bit of extra weight savings for easier carrying the electric peine is the perfect bike for You as we’ve talked about before you can get bromton in either low mid or high handlebars with a lower position handlebar you have a much sportier more speed oriented position this is great for people who want to have a faster or just more responsive feeling ride on the

Flip side a higher handlebar tends to be much more Comfort oriented this also gives you a higher Viewpoint as it places you at a much more elevated position and is a lot easier on your back your shoulders as well as your hands and your wrists the mid as you’ve

Guessed Falls right in the middle of those giving you a bit of a Best of Both Worlds kind of experience height is also going to play a part in which handlebar you choose as shorter Riders May benefit from having a lower handlebar while taller Riders might benefit from a

Higher handlebar you can also get a variety of SE post for your Brompton all 2024 bromton however will be sold with an extended cost we go into depth a little further on this as well as some other things in our Brompton ultimate size guide check the link in the
