Brompton T Line Explore 12 Speed Superlight folding bike
The all-new ultra-light titanium frame. Over 150 specially developed weight-saving components. Three years of obsessive material choices and rigorous testing. Everything brand-new except the fold. Andrew Ritchie, our founder, obsessed over that 40 years ago. Never bettered, just refined, it's the original and still the best.
Nothing rides like it—the entirely new* drivetrain. Designed ground-up to sit inside the fold, to be light as possible and for optimal city performance. The carbon crankset gives greater power transfer. The 60-gram derailleur delivers smooth shifting in a small package. The new gear-ratio, tested from Amsterdam to San Francisco, perfected for city roads. *patent-pending
At Brompton, we don’t believe that more always means more. That’s why we offer you a choice of gears. For flatter cities, short rides and even infrequent use, less and simpler is often better. But other times, you might want – or need – more. That’s where our all-new 12-speed comes in.Just like our bike, Brompton’s 12-speed gear system is unique. We’ve expertly engineered a solution that gives you more gears and more range while still fitting into our compact solution to life on two wheels.
Expertly engineered, the T Line Explore's lightweight frame weighs 37% less than steel equivalents, improving the gearing elements and on-road positioning.
Being able to say yes to every opportunity is made possible by the simple folding system, which means you can transition from two wheels to two feet in just 20 seconds. Also light to carry, you can move around with ease in a much better way than compared to traditional bikes.
Precision engineering means you can tackle everything that comes your way. By feeling empowered thanks to the versatile T Line Explore, a more energetic and active way of life awaits you! Brompton can provide a reliable transport method; it's up to you to find your next adventure. Whichever horizon you choose to explore, with the T Line Explore by your side, a positive experience is guaranteed.
