The Brompton S2L
The Brompton S2L is perfect for multimodal commuters who want a simple, efficient folding bike without the added cost and weight of more gears. A Brompton S2L folding bike is equipped with S type handlebars, two gears and mudguards. The Brompton S type handlebar, the lightest of Brompton's four handlebar options, is lower than the other types and positions the body further forward, appealing to riders for its aerodynamic riding position similar to that of a mountain bike. The S bar is the preferred choice for a fast, sporty ride and provides optimal comfort for riders under 5’5” and a more aggressive fit for taller riders. The S bar grip height measures 935 mm or about 37 inches, and the stem is 50 mm or about 2 inches further forward than the M bar. This 2-speed has a gear for climbing and a gear for cruising. It’s ideal for mostly flat riding and has just enough gearing to climb the occasional hill. Opt for -7% or -12% gearing for even easier climbing. The Brompton S2L comes complete with an integrated bell and pump, and mudguards to keep your clothing clean and dry. Brompton’s ingenious pentaclip affords the saddle 4 inches of fore and aft adjustability allowing it to fit a range of riders. If you’re looking for a light and simple bike that’s easy to carry and can be stored almost anywhere, with a straight bar similar to the handlebar on a traditional hybrid or mountain bike, you’ll love zipping around town on a Brompton S2L.
