Brompton improves on a good thing with new G Line of bicycles


‘The most versatile bike in the world... for the city and beyond,’ claims the iconic British brand.

Both models feature bigger 20-inch wheels with fat grippy Schwalbe tires, hydraulic disc brakes from Tektro, wider handlebars, and a frame geometry that more closely resembles full-size bicycles. It all adds up to what should be a less twitchy ride that’s suitable for more varied terrain on a bike that’s easier to service over time given the selection of non-proprietary parts and easy to find 20-inch tires and tubes. Brompton’s marketing the G Line as an all-terrain bike which is fascinating given its long-standing role in supporting multi-modal city commutes.
