Brompton Palace S2L - Limited Edition -BRAND NEW IN BOX
£1,842.70 GBP
This is a Brompton Palace S2L, a British-made steel folding bike from a collaboration between Brompton and Palace, the London skate brand. It's a limited edition run finished in Glowstick Yellow, a colour designed to shift and catch the light under city streetlamps—a deliberate nod to late-night riding through London's streets. The bike comes new in box, and if you're into collectible designs or just want something that stands out, this one carries genuine design credibility behind it rather than feeling like a gimmick.
The S2L refers to the frame size and handlebar height: the 'S' denotes low bars, which gives a more responsive, forward-leaning position compared to Brompton's upright M or H variants. Paired with the 2-speed Sturmey Archer hub gears, this setup is geared toward quick urban sprinting and nimble city navigation rather than hill climbing. The 16-inch wheels are typical for Brompton's range and keep the fold compact, though they do demand slightly more legwork to maintain speed on longer flat stretches. The steel frame is rigid and durable, the kind of build quality Brompton has refined over decades.
Braking is handled by Brompton's dual-pivot caliper brakes fitted with SwissStop BXP pads, which deliver sharp, confident stopping power in the kind of mixed urban riding where you're regularly braking hard in traffic. There's nothing loose or vague about the feel. The saddle carries Palace's engraving as an exclusive touch, and the matching reflective Cordura pouch is included—details that define the limited run and set it apart from standard Brompton stock.
Day to day, the fold mechanism becomes instinctive after a few uses, collapsing the bike into a manageable package for tube journeys, storing under desks, or carrying up office stairs. This particular bike sits somewhere between collector's piece and practical commuter tool, which is exactly what the Palace collaboration aimed for. If you need a London-designed folding bike that carries some cultural weight alongside its functionality, this edition delivers both.
