BROMPTON X BARBOUR SPECIAL EDITION - C LINE EXPLORE - MID HANDLEBAR
$2,700.00
Brompton have teamed up again with iconic British outerwear brand Barbour to bring you one of the swankiest, most practical bikes we've seen yet. Designed for weekends out of the city and the commute (and everything in between), the Barbour Special Edition bikes do not disappoint!
The very limited Brompton x Barbour Special Edition bikes are truly a sight to be seen. A gorgeous Amble Sands gloss tan paint job accents the silver componentry and limited-edition silver aluminum hinge clamps, rear frame clip and pump beautifully, while the gold decals play nicely with the bike's more rugged accents. A classic Brooks C17 saddle in Silt Grey complements the bike's rugged exterior and plays its part of being weatherproofed and durable. Speaking of weatherproofing, this bike wouldn't be a true Barbour collaboration without a significant nod to the classic British outerwear company, who comes through in the form of two gorgeous bags fit for any weekend adventure outside the city. A classic tartan Zip Pouch and a 24L waxed cotton olive Holdall bag with gorgeous brass detailing complete the look and make this bike truly practical.
As the most versatile option, the Barbour Special Edition uses the 3-speed Sturmey Archer BWR hub combined with a 2-speed shifter for a combined 6 speeds. The wider gear ratio is designed to get you up the steepest hills and speeding along the flat open roads. New Schwalbe Marathon Almotion ADDIX transparent-skin tires provide puncture-proof reliability and improved grip with lower rolling resistance. This spec is our most popular due to its adaptability and is a favourite of world travellers.
This bike uses the Mid Handlebar which is Brompton’s bestseller and the sweet spot for short riders seeking an upright ride or average-height riders wanting a bike that is both efficient and comfortable. Fenders keep you and your bike looking presentable and make entry to shops, museums, and theatres a lot easier as a result. The bike is fitted with a Telescopic seatpost to suit riders of all heights while maintaining maximum foldability.

Brompton is the only company we've seen that answers all three criteria - and believe us, we've tried every brand out there. The reason others can't compete is because Brompton has answered a fundamental engineering problem. If a bike is going to unfold to a large footprint (which takes the twitch out) then it is unfolding to a bigger bike - and by all logic, a bigger bike unfolded would be a bigger bike folded. So, it's pretty much true that for most folding bikes they either have great rideability but poor transportability or vice versa. And nearly all of them are a mess to fold.
Not Brompton. Brompton has designed the Platonic form of all folding bikes. The bike folds to the smallest size on the market, unfolds in a highly precise and easy manner, and has the same axle-to-axle footprint as a hybrid bike. How did they do this? By not only designing a clever frame, but also designing some 1200 proprietary parts that make everything fit - and fit perfectly. Oh, and nearly all of this is made in England. No wonder this bike has a cult following.
