Live in San Francisco or have a lot of hills to contend with? With this option you will have a lower gear to climb hills easier, but your top speed won't be as high because of the lower gearing.

Saddle
Saddles are a personal preference. The stock Brompton saddle is pretty good, but options are better.
|
Brooks B17 Special |
Confirmed by years of personal use and our customers, Brooks leather saddles are the most comfortable saddle -- especially on longer rides, but can take a little while to break in. |

Brooks B17S Special |
Same as the B17 Special, but with a shorter nose. Marketed towards women who like to wear skirts when riding. The shorter nose means less surface area to control the bike, but also less to get caught on skirt fabric. |

Brooks C17 |
We're not sure if the natural rubber is vegan or not, but there is no leather used on this saddle. This saddle also won't be damaged if it gets wet. |

Brompton Wide |
Wider (167 vs 145mm) for Brompton's with high handlebars or people who feel that a wide saddle fits their sit bones better. |

Seatpost
Bromptons come with a seatpost that will allow most people to ride the bike with a proper saddle height. If you don't need the longer length, you can decrease the height of the folded bike by a couple of inches by opting for a shorter seatpost. We also have lighter options and telescopic versions.Â
|
Short seatpost |
This used to be the "standard" seatpost included as default, but at some point, Brompton realized that a longer post would fit more people, so they made the "standard post" the option. |

Telescopic seatpost |
For the tallest of riders, or people who want to be able to remove the saddle without tools. When the upper portion of the post is removed, the highest point of the folded bike is the top of the stem hinge. |

Rack
The default Brompton gearing is great for most people, but if you're carrying cargo, a little out of shape, or particularly strong, you might want to alter the gearing.
