Brompton Blue M6L Mid 6 Speed 2018 Folding Bike Collection SW11

The Brompton Blue M6L is a British-made steel folding bike built for everyday city cycling and commuting. It's designed to work at home in urban environments where storage space is tight and you need to combine cycling with public transport or car journeys. The steel frame is durable and maintains its stiffness through countless folds, and the compact fold mechanism means the bike packs down small enough to fit under a desk, in a train luggage rack, or the boot of a car.

The 16-inch wheels keep the bike nimble through city streets and traffic, contributing to the tight fold whilst still rolling smoothly on urban surfaces. The 6-speed hub gears work via a thumb shifter, which is straightforward and reliable—there's no messing with derailleurs or complicated adjustments, and the hub gears work just as well in wet conditions as dry. The rear suspension takes the edge off rough road surfaces and cobbles, making the ride noticeably more comfortable than a fully rigid frame, particularly over longer commutes through inconsistent urban terrain.

The adjustable seat lets you dial in a comfortable riding position, and the integrated mudguards keep spray off your clothes during wet weather. The bike is unisex in design, suited to a wide range of rider sizes and builds. It's a straightforward, practical folding bike that handles the daily grind of commuting without fuss, and it folds and unfolds quickly enough that you won't resent carrying it onto a train or up the stairs to your flat. A seat cover is included with this model.
