Superb engineering. A work of art 🖼
I saw one in person at my local Brompton Junction. It is a very cool and light bike, I like it! The one thing that is not mentioned is that the bike frame/tube is much larger/fatter than your regular brompton. As a point of reference, it will not fit in the overhead compartment in an airplane because it is a "fatter" bike. Nevertheless, it is still a sweet bike.
Set up in my garage. Sure comes in handy. Works great
Tks look so good….tempted to buy tis T line
He’s just nicked the bike 😄. Full sized pedal on the left as well nice!
A shame Brompton cannot meet demand to supply of this lovely bike. There is a waiting list around the world which need addressing. I know.
I’ve had two on order in different countries and there seems to be little sign of when they will be arriving.
Titanium and Brexit are not helping production.
I tried one in store and it’s a joy to ride after riding my 11kilo 6 speed Black edition!
I am in the same boat as you! I also have a 2018 6speed Black Edition and have ordered a P Line with the S handlebar instead of the racing h/bar which looks like a T shape. I live in a flat city / country and 4 speeds is more than enough. Never use 6 gears when I ride.
I tried it and a Ti as well and I have to say as a speedy cyclist coming from carbon fibre bikes both the Ti and P Line are light if you are fit enough and strong enough.
I settled for the P Line version as no one knows when the Ti version will be back in mass production.
I intend to remove mudguards, change several parts including pedals to reduce my P Line version to even less.
I got my Black edition down to 10,6 kilos at a cost! But it is even faster. Cannot wait to tweak my P Line.
The Ti can wait for another day!
very light yes. would also make my pockets, very light.
And more aero
Even with today's high gas prices, it would take me around 28K miles of commuting to break even on this Brompton...
As an owner of a 2019 SuperlightM6LXBrompton I am presently down to about the weight of a T-line with mudguards and my 6 gears, for now 8,75, and I expect to come below 8,5 kilo, at least, with a little more work and changes of parts. Finn. Denmark
Great commentary, thanks 👌
Aren’t you familiar with the order of folding 🤦♂️?
😬😬😬 this is ridiculous 😳😳😳 I want this one!!!!
nice bikeeeeeeeeee !!!!!
Amazing
I thought it was the internal hub gears that made them tick so load but this does it too with group set ⚙️
Good warning sound for pedestrians.
Do the overall features justify the cost? I've heard the new P-line is light too.
Oh yes, it is. Go try before its too late!
are u gonna race it? 😂. but if you got the money hey why not 🤷🏻♂️👍🏼.
What is the line?
"If has wheels or titanium, it's gonna be expensive."
or something like that
The P Line is the one to go for. Its light enough. Once a bike it around 21lbs. All this obsession with going under 18lbs only matters to pro roadies to the average rider 9 to 11KG for a bike is fine. My Tern verge X11 weighs 23lbs. And it flys up hills.
My S6L is 25 lbs (~11.5kg)
Weight weenies threshold calc is ~$10/gm
$1200/11.5kg vs $5000/7.5kg. $3800/4kg ~$0.95/gm so a real bargain
I wonder why there's a gap at the level of the frame fold, when open. Can't be too good when it rains, water will get inside the frame
For weight and savings on cost of production. Titanium will not rust when exposed to the elements. That is why you get the bare metal with no paint.
@@sweetpadre That can't have saved on a lot of weight or costs. Ti doesn't rust but whatever you have inside the frame won't be too happy about getting wet
Amazingly designed but guess the waiting time should be unbelievable .
Make that Unacceptable .
Now walk in to purchase T Line 4 speeds M or S bar are readily stocks in BJS !!!
AT LAST !!!
Easy Ti have a competitor .
the front wheel touches the ground when folded.
맞아요❤
woah woah woah. what just happened with the pedal?
Is that all bolt and nut is Ti material ?
Most of the nuts and bolts are steel the same as on other Bromptons. Some of them, for example, the handlebar bolts are aluminium. This means there could be additional weight saving by swapping all of them over to titanium.
@@U-Choob there a reason why Brompton used wht they use. I know that too... As Ive seen too many trifold bikes injured their owner, bcos the Ti nuts n bolts failed them 🙏
@@phungmoe2302 Thanks for the info. The bike is already very light so the standard bolts they have used should be fine.!
5 kg weight ?
Why didn't Brompton switch to belt drive for this line?
I assume as belt drive requires an internal hub unless you go for the single speed. The internal hubs weigh a fair bit
The belt would have to fold back on itself which manufacturers do not recommend as it creates a stress point that could lead to the belt snapping.
would need dedicated rear triangle with belt cut out or totally new design
Bike is nice , but not the staffs working in Brompton UK ..
T Line e-bike with internal battery
03:48 155mm 박격포도 한손가락으로 들수있음 ㅋㅋ
Does the bike roll when folded?
It depends on what you mean by roll,
and the surface condition.
Small roller wheels, odd balance and wheel alignment.
Can be done, also can use Sidewinder rack , but stripping for weight means roll-ability is compromised further.
How much??
£4000
My word that is light. Like carbon super bike lite.
7.45 or 7.95kg.! It is a huge improvement for Brompton.!
@@U-Choob light not necessarily good. Only time can tell (T n P only 1 yr old, compared to their C n A Line). Their P Line is a flop. I know, bcos I had one. Tkq very much for this video.
@@phungmoe2302 The first batch are indeed Guinea pig bikes. They have been thoroughly tested in-house by Brompton for the last two years and they will offer everyone who has pre-ordered one, 3 free services after 1 month, 3 months and 1 year so they can get feedback from real world use.
@@phungmoe2302 why is light (per se) not good?
@@mcq2525 Stiffness, strength, cost
Can the steerer post be adjusted?
No, but you can buy the bike with different handlebars to increase the height. The one in this video has the straight handlebar which is the lowest.
WAY Cool, but not sure if $5,300 USD cool…
Эх Джонни , 4750£ - самое оно для нас Русских ! Мы можем это позволить 🤫
สวย อยากได้
Doesn't look like a Brompton when folded and unfolded - unless these guys lack the experience
I do have a Brompton, it’s about 10+ years old and I am very familiar with folding/unfolding that one. On this bike there are several minor and noticeable differences to the folding. For example, there is now a catch below the rubber suspension block to lock the rear triangle in place. The knobs used to tighten the hinges have very short threads so they will only unscrew to just a few millimetres beyond the latch then stop. The seat post seems to pull out half way then stop and needs to be twisted slightly to pull it out fully. The tube frame diameter has increased. Also I was trying to be extra careful.!
why main frame tube is fatter than original brompton? look so cheap...
The make it the same strength as steel
Noisy hub.
It will be nice when that stupid trend goes away
my normal racing bike as I grease mine so zero sound .some idiots love the sound
@@zeez9053 nice user name
the P line is also very noisy
1 kilogram, amazing
I've been riding this bike for about a month czcams.com/users/postUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W and a half now and I think it's fantastic. It helps me get to work on time every day since I'm able to fit it inside of public transportation rush hour. The price is great too, people are always shocked when they ask me how much I paid for the fold up and I tell them "200". It's easy to fold and installation when it ships is insanely easy. All you have to install when the bike arrives is one foot pedal, everything else is done for you. I do recommend you carry some sort of wrench to tighten any loose screws on the handle bar and seat whenever they get a little bit loose. Other than that I think it's a fantastic bike. Easily fits in the home, can fit inside a car trunk and can even fit in subway rush hour.
