Sizing Information
Which handlebar?
There are three handlebar types, offering different riding positions for varying heights of rider and riding styles.
| Handlebar type | (Previously known as) | Profile | Ride position |
|
Low |
S-Type | Straight | Sporty, for average to tall riders. Neutral position for shorter owners. |
|
Mid |
M-Type | Riser | Neutral/relaxed position for average to tall riders. A more sit-up position for shorter riders. |
|
High |
H-Type | Riser (with stem for extra height) | Neutral for taller riders. Upright for small or average height owners - similar in style to a traditional dutch bike. |
Choosing Your Saddle Height:
Every Brompton sold online is fitted with an Extended seatpost, as this fits most riders. Riders with smaller inside leg measurements can still select taller options and use them at a lower setting.
| Inside Leg | Features | |
|
Standard |
84cm/33" (or less) | Brompton's lightest and shortest seatpost. |
|
Extended |
84cm - 89cm/33" - 35" | Offers an additional 60mm of elevation but leaves the saddle correspondingly higher when folded. |
|
Telescopic |
90cm35" (or more) | Offers up to 175mm more elevation than a standard post but the saddle only projects 20mm above the folded package. |
