Brompton's bicycles are immensely popular among commuters thanks to their foldable design that fits right into train luggage compartments. Portability is one thing, but once you start climbing inclines, you realise that standard Bromptons with their four gears aren't cut out for the job that well. The new 12-speed range is, though!
Adding extra gears and derailleurs often makes bikes bulky, which would almost defeat the purpose of Bromptons. We love these bikes for their compact frame – which isn't at all compromised by the new setup, the company claims.
