The new Brompton G Line looks similar to the brand’s other models, with its arching top tube, small wheels and two hinges to fold it away.
But, on closer inspection, this new folding bike is markedly different.
Instead of 16in wheels with slick city tyres, it has 20in wheels wrapped in wide, 54mm rubber. It doesn’t have rim brakes; there are disc brakes instead. The geometry has been tweaked, and there’s an aluminium fork and an 8-speed gear hub from Shimano.
Brompton claims the G Line – available as a non-assisted or electric bike and from £2,395 / €2,849 – is the “most versatile bike in the world”. CEO Will Butler-Adams says it’s a response to the growing interest in off-road riding and people looking to explore “roads and trails less travelled”.

Nice but how much?
Looks nice. It has good wheelset and tires. But the bicycle has heavyweight and it is expensive.
£2,500 lmao. 20" trifolds from other brands have existed for years. If you can't find one in the UK, just book a flight to Singapore, enjoy the weather and food there, bring back a really nice and well built 20" trifold and you'll save £1,500. Thank me later. I bought mine from a local bike shop when I was there, but I've found others on youtube, you could try these channels (Jackbikesg, SG LIAOGE, and THEBIKEATRIUM)
I’am sure this is a great city commuter and park bike but that’s about it…
