It's designed to appeal to people’s desire to “escape the city”
There are many folding bicycles, but none so genre-defining as the classic Brompton. Conceived by the engineer Andrew Ritchie in a west-London bedroom in the mid-1970s, the original prototype hoped to offer a new way to move through the urban landscape: you could cycle when you wanted, or chuck the bike in a cab when you didn’t. The resulting three-fold design has been mimicked, but never bettered.
Essentially, it is a mountain bike you can fit in a suitcase. “It’s the most capable Brompton yet, with the ability to deliver on all sorts of surfaces the feel of a full-size bike,” says Will Carleysmith, chief design and engineering officer at Brompton. The company’s CEO Will Butler-Adams offers a more Tolkienian take, describing it as the “one bike to do it all”.
