Brompton G Line Launches With Bigger Wheels for Gravel Biking Adventures
Introducing the Brompton G Line
Brompton G Line has officially launched its first bike designed for tougher terrains. Aimed at gravel biking aficionados, this bike features bigger 20-inch wheels and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, contrasting with the traditional 16-inch wheels that have defined Brompton since 1975.
Enhanced Features for Performance
- Weight: The G Line weighs in at 13.9kg, a bit heftier than the standard 11.35kg C Line.
- Wheel Size: The upgrade to 20-inch wheels significantly boosts stability on rugged trails.
- Braking System: Upgraded to hydraulic disc brake systems for superior stopping power.
- Available Models: A pure pedal-powered version priced at approximately £2,500 and an electric-assisted model at £3,499.
Market Response and Expectations
As gravel biking gains popularity, Brompton anticipates a positive market reception despite a generally declining trend in mechanical bike sales.
Exploring the Future of Folding Bikes
The G Line represents Brompton's commitment to evolving cycling experiences. While it may not be as compact as its predecessors, its design reflects a shift towards versatility and performance.
