The renowned folding bike brand Brompton adds a new 12-speed transmission option to its models.

Just like its design, the 12-speed transmission system from Brompton is unique. Integrating into the compact, lightweight, and portable solution that made it famous, this new option broadens the brand’s range and offers cyclists greater autonomy on all types of roads and terrains. This 12-speed design is achieved through two innovative elements.

A 3-speed hub from Sturmey-Archer is installed in a waterproof casing, increasing the number of gear options up to 12. The gear range is deployed via the right handlebar and a gear system located at the center of the rear wheel. All mechanisms are protected from damage, concealed inside a sturdy shell, providing the user with years of trouble-free use.

Ultra-light (60g) and initially designed for the T Line, a compact derailleur is hidden safely from external damage, whether the bike is folded or on the road. Controlled by the left handlebar and less exposed, it is therefore less vulnerable and offers greater durability.
