Tell us more about how you use it there? Why do you need a Brompton, don’t you have a massive truck and trailer to haul everything including huge bikes?
Good to see that Brompton has finally gone to 20 inch wheels. This will be much more stable and slightly less terrifying through potholes. They need to bring out a Ti version. Great vid as usual Hannah.
I couldn't wait to get home from work to watch your video! I am so glad that Brompton recognised the role you play in the community, by giving you a demo G Line for review. The video was great!
Brompton certainly know their market. The g-line is designed to go in the boot of an £85,000 VW Transporter sitting outside a £1.8m townhouse in Chesham.
Still in doubt about this one. But seriously that chain slack when you fold it, not sure if that is meant to be. Also it must not be easy for Brompton dealers to stock different parts again. Mine just has 2 cm space above the saddle when under my desk I think, so no go. Again a lovely unbiased review. Thx Brillantbikes, you guys are top!
A top video, as ever, and thanks. The weight. Omg!! Crazy heavy. You can see what is coming over the hill, a titanium version. I tested the Austin Cycles folder and it was like riding an e-bike. Being so light, it made a huge difference to the ride. The dead heavy feel of riding a steel tarmac leveller doesn’t do anything for me. The price of the titanium version might mean City types will be attracted to it more than true adventures.
I like it I have had my Brompton for 23 years, I have a Moulton with 20' wheels and similar geometry. Add the Brompton fold to the Moulton size and I want one.
To anyone saying its too heavy to carry.Even lighter ones get heavy after five minutes,I purchased two small luggage carriers from Blacks outdoor shop.£10 each,they unfold and one of these will fit in a backpack.When unfolded the brompton wheels sit just right in the trolley and you can easily secure with bungee cords.Drag your brompton anywhere easily.
I have a 12K which I reduced in weight to 11 kilos and I know to a certain extent what you say is true where the weight is concerned but I also own a P Line which is exactly 9 kilos. I was deliberating between the T Line ( 7 kilos + ) and the P Line and opted for the latter as it was a question of costs. I can honestly say that both T Line and P Line versions for me are not heavy as I do not have far to carry my P Line and when I tested the T Line version i found it really versatile to carry so I guess it is a question of each person’s strength where carrying weight is concerned. Had I not owned the Black edition as well, I would have certainly got the T Line but one cannot have everything in life..! It simply a pity Brompton do not buy back bikes as i would now sell both my bikes and get a 6 speed Ti version which did not exist when I tested the T Line version at a bike trade fair. I any case, one cannot go wrong with a Brompton.
THAT is the best folding bike on the market! Finally a Brompton that combines everything that made these bikes great in the past with all the developments that make bikes so much more convenient nowadays. Well done Brompton!
I use the C line in the city center where the cubes are. And that is suffering. Finally, someone was thinking. Good job. And thank you for introducing the new brompton.
Another “brilliant “ video. Thanks very much for an excellent overview. I still love my small wheeled version and can’t see myself being tempted anytime soon 😊
BAM!-P-TON's Game-changer! Even with my Giant Expressway, Montague Urban, & Dahon Classic III folders, I'm still tempted to grab one. The colors are slick too. ..ooh! Briiliant review.😊
Cool. Can’t wait to test ride at my LBS. Love the color on that one. I’ve been checking out folders with bigger wheels than the standard Brompton. Time to open a new bike account in anticipation.
Thanks for the detailed description. Looks like the perfect Brompton for the purposes for which I am currently using my 6 speed c-line. But I did notice that the c line has just the perfect folded size to tuck it away in some spaces in the Dutch trains where this bigger brompton will not fit.
Great video, lots of detail! This is very interesting direction for Brompton. I'm a city commuter type of Brompton rider, so I guess it's not really aimed at me, but it looks really good.
@@brilliantbikesAll said though if they did a drive belt version, then I'd go for that! Given their attempts to make the 20" more off-road, it's a must especially when you've got low hanging derailleurs (less hanging on the 20" I would have thought...?). You may have to break out your tape measure again Hannah! 😉
From the East you are able to buy a Titanium Fork with a bracket for a Caliber and a disc wheel. I have thought about a change if I'm able to find a 16" wheel for a disc, as the back at any time is able to be blocked, so I don't need more braking ability at that end! Finn. Denmark
I like how they keep offering new ways of cycling. Nice edition, Love the orange and the Green. 15kg for a start. But the biggest change I guess is the partnership with Shimano and the Alfine. That's my only regret on the Pline (it would have been such a more versatile and natural way to shift speed. All for the best. Would love to try one!
Thanks for this lovely video. Timely and informative as always. Curious to see which of existing luggage options will fit a G-line, if any. Excited for more launch information as it becomes available.
Thanks for watching and for the question. All the current C / P / T line luggage will fit the G line as the carried block is the same and only differs in the fixing bolts
@@brilliantbikes Thanks for the reply. Good to know about the carrier block. Also interested in transport luggage like b&w case, brompton padded travel case, et c.
I do like this, it's the same weight as my electric Boardman (£2250 in 2023) and I like the orange and also the green, lovely video as always, Hannah, be well.
I'm really torn about this. On the one hand, it seems like an amazing new bike, able to do all those things I wish my Brompton could, but can't. On the other hand, it's a new bike that won't be able to do all the things that I'm glad my Brompton can, like fit in the overhead luggage shelf of the train, in my luggage for the plane, and be light enough to carry around the supermarket or throw in the shopping cart. It seems to have lost as many use cases as it has gained, maybe more. If you don't take your Brompton on the plane or train, or to the supermarket, then I guess you won't be missing out much. In that case, it seems like a gravel bike that fits inside your car or in your apartment better than a full sized gravel bike? I don't plan on trading in my C-line for this. If I were to trade in my C-line, it would be for a P-line probably.
Yeah, I think you hit the nail there. One thing I don't like about my P-Line electric is that the ride is quite twitchy, and the G line probably does solve that, but then it loses on all the other departments. Ultimately one buys a Brompton to be light and easy to carry and this goes against this.
@@drewsmith7726 This is not a conventional Brompton. Let’s all understand this. It is a gravel folding bike without doubt. Weight is a factor here as one cannot just pick it up and carrying into a shop, on a train, plane or up and down stairs without ease as is the case with the P Line and the T Line. So Brompton have opened up a new market for themselves which Is understandable. Yes, the P line is what you want. Or even the T Line for lightweight capability.
Typical...... Just retired and, for a retirement present, had a C Line Electric Brompton. Love the bike it tackles all hills with ease. But the 20 inch wheels really do appeal to me big time, if only for the comfort aspect. Did you notice much difference in the quality of ride? Good to see you back by the way... you've been quiet lately. 😊
Thanks Hannah. I love the outtakes and super wheelies. Nice try Brompton but I feel it could be lighter for those owners negotiating steps oh and cheaper 😊
Great review, I've ridden the 20" trifold in Singapore about a year ago now, and the 14" version in Japan a month ago which were both excellent bikes. Its a shame the bromptons are so heavy and not using a belt drive or hollow tec BB, its easy to see it retains its British roots. Look forward to your future reviews on the bike.
Another great video! I'm already looking forward to the video about removing the rear wheel and the new toolkit that inevitably will contain a torque wrench😂
I like 20" wheeled folding bikes as well - we own 3 Dahons - and Brompton's new 20" wheeled offering is a nice addition to their line and responds to some critics of 16" wheeled folding bikes. But, I'm not sure I'm fond of the added heft and how the added size might make it less feasible for international touring because of airlines' size and weight restrictions?
My first and only Brompton is the original Electric, bolt blue I think, H6? (I'm 6'1"-6'2" or so) anyway I love it to bits, such an awesome bike. I never use my old bike anymore. But I've on occasion considered a 2nd bike for when I don't need the fold. Previously would''ve not got a Brompton. But this new 20" version means I may well just get a 2nd Brompton instead.
GCN have done a video on the 20 incher. Disc brakes is a good move by Brompton, I hit 55 kph down Conrod straight on Mount Panorama, by the time I brought the bike to a standstill the heat of the rims had exploded the tubolito inner tubes 😂. All fun and games 🎉 .
🤔👍thanks Hannah and team info I’ve tested the g line electric yesterday only on the London rds through heavy traffic size matters I’m sure your agree Hannah also weight is it a mountain bike no but for our rds a good option tyres I wouldn’t trust in the wet gear changing a bit awkward the disc brakes to sharp snatches the ride and position good gear ratio good electric unit powerful rollers good hydraulic brakes more maintenance waiting for your video on them tyres cost £60 score 7.9/10 the the t line gets 9/10 the p line gets 8.9/10 I prefer the original Brompton but g line a good option l like the t line but the cost so p line takes it without prejudice 🏋️♀️💴💴💴💴💪🫵🌎🎬
So exciting to see this new G line! Can't wait to see the electric version next. By the way, I don't have the option to give you a 'thumbs up' on the video; the thumbs are missing.
Hopefully Brompton will have certified the G-Line Electric to both the EN and UL electrical safety standards so it can be sold in the N. American e-bike market. The current C-Line Electric is not UL 2849 certified so cannot be sold in New York City which has lost sales in one of Brompton's biggest overseas markets
Great work as usual! When I received the e-mail I thought wow, this is interesting & sounds a great idea! However, whilst I expected it to be pricey, so expected that, but the weight is a massive issue. I have a 1992 Scott MB which is lighter than that and isn't fun to ride compared to my newer 2012 MB which is way lighter and cheaper. I suspect the weight will cause issues, as will the new hub & disk brakes once people start using them. I'll stick to my CHPT3. It is a great innovation and look forward to seeing how it gets on once people have used them for over 6 months, but I wonder how many will want them at that price and weight, compared to other options? Thanks again
Looks very flashy dashy, chunky tires would be amazing on loose ground. I do like that you can sort most issues on the classics with a small handful of tools though and this one looks much more complicated for those of us who know nothing 😂. I couldn’t afford it but then I couldn’t afford a new Brompton of any type. I love my ancient, 3rd hand and rickety one though.
...looks really cool for trail and longer rides on difficult/ mixed terrain... but for the daily commuting, rather less suitable than the standard size!
Thanks for the video, Hannah. I wonder if it would fit under the bottom shelf on GWR trains - my S6L has the longer seat post and just(!) about squeezes under, with the saddle pressing up under the edge of the shelf. I guess therefore this bike is aimed at a different user category, one who will transport it in the boot of their car for off-road adventures.
Disagree, I've had very few quality issues (and nothing really major) with two Bromptons in 24 years of fairly regular commuting (the first one lasted 20 years).
I would like to see comparison between Brompton G Line and Tern BYB S11. They both trifolds, both have 20 inch wheels. G line weights 14.8 kg, BYB S11 - 12.7 kg. Price: G line - £2499, BYB - £2300.
Holy crow! Finally! It'll be sold out forever, but yes! Interestingly and perhaps not surprisingly, it looks pretty much like many of the 20 inch Brompton style bikes already being made in south Asia - in fact, some of those might even be lighter (Al frame possibly); more high end features or options; and if you like simplicity, I think I might have even seen one with caliper brakes, not disc brakes.
As a resident of Alaska I am exited to have a robust Brompton for life up here. Good work
Thanks for watching, I hope it is fun to ride in Alaska!

There is a lot to like but it loses a lot against the original too. Horses for courses.
The Brompton original is the best folding bike on the market; period. The G Line isn't though, it's a novelty.
Best review I've ever seen.

This is great - 20" and easier gears and great for gravel. Really looking forward to the electric version (but probably not the weight).
What a glorious day
Thanks for watching! It was and it is!
So exciting to see this new G line! Can't wait to see the electric version next. By the way, I don't have the option to give you a 'thumbs up' on the video; the thumbs are missing.
Thanks for watching! May be we reached out maximum thumbs up!
@@brilliantbikes The Thumbs are back! You now have one more.
Thanks for the thorough review
Thanks for watching!
Wow, what a straightforward and informative video. I guess it rides like any other Brompton?
Thanks for watching, it rides like a very stable Brompton
Hopefully Brompton will have certified the G-Line Electric to both the EN and UL electrical safety standards so it can be sold in the N. American e-bike market. The current C-Line Electric is not UL 2849 certified so cannot be sold in New York City which has lost sales in one of Brompton's biggest overseas markets
Great work as usual! When I received the e-mail I thought wow, this is interesting & sounds a great idea!
However, whilst I expected it to be pricey, so expected that, but the weight is a massive issue. I have a 1992 Scott MB which is lighter than that and isn't fun to ride compared to my newer 2012 MB which is way lighter and cheaper.
I suspect the weight will cause issues, as will the new hub & disk brakes once people start using them.
I'll stick to my CHPT3. It is a great innovation and look forward to seeing how it gets on once people have used them for over 6 months, but I wonder how many will want them at that price and weight, compared to other options? Thanks again
Thanks for watching and for your comment! Let’s see
Great first look, thanks.
Will I be getting one to replace my S6L… probably not.
Do I want one though… oh god yes! Especially in that orange.
I remember a few years ago | wrote to Brompton suggesting them to sell 20 inch Brompton... how many of us did it too ? that's my next bike!
They really do ride very nicely! We have a lovely little gravel route if you want to take one out for a test ride.
Thanks for watching!
Love it, looks fantastic
Thanks for watching!
Looks very flashy dashy, chunky tires would be amazing on loose ground. I do like that you can sort most issues on the classics with a small handful of tools though and this one looks much more complicated for those of us who know nothing 😂. I couldn’t afford it but then I couldn’t afford a new Brompton of any type. I love my ancient, 3rd hand and rickety one though.
...looks really cool for trail and longer rides on difficult/ mixed terrain... but for the daily commuting, rather less suitable than the standard size!
Thanks for watching! I kind of agree, good for a commute that does not require too much carrying, it does roll well!
Perfect! Brompton Gil 😍
I want an orange one with rack and mudguards... Time to start saving! 🎉
Thanks for the video, Hannah. I wonder if it would fit under the bottom shelf on GWR trains - my S6L has the longer seat post and just(!) about squeezes under, with the saddle pressing up under the edge of the shelf. I guess therefore this bike is aimed at a different user category, one who will transport it in the boot of their car for off-road adventures.
Many thanks for watching!
Ow that sounds like we need to try!
Looks very good. I think it’ll be a big seller.
Very excited about this ❤
Thanks for watching! They are fun to ride!
Want to see Brompton line build for touring, sport, or casual 😊
Thanks for watching! I’d say it’s for all those things!
That look super fun if perhaps less practical to travel with. Would love to hear what additional weight the other two size options add.
Many thanks for watching! And many thanks for the suggestions!
Sparkly sparkly? Magnificent! Cat's Piss Yellow? More magnificent!❤
Many thanks for watching!
Absolutely great bike and design, absolutely shocking quality standards
Disagree, I've had very few quality issues (and nothing really major) with two Bromptons in 24 years of fairly regular commuting (the first one lasted 20 years).
Merci pour cet essai complet et probant.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you Hannah for your great review! What upgrades are available for the G Line that would help to reduce the overall weight?
Thanks and thanks for watching! Hmmm a Superlight seat post!
I would like to see comparison between Brompton G Line and Tern BYB S11. They both trifolds, both have 20 inch wheels. G line weights 14.8 kg, BYB S11 - 12.7 kg. Price: G line - £2499, BYB - £2300.
Thanks for watching! Sorry we don’t stock Terns, but I’m sure someone will do a comparison
Think i might buy one
😀 thanks for watching! Give us a call and come and try our demo 😀
Holy crow! Finally! It'll be sold out forever, but yes! Interestingly and perhaps not surprisingly, it looks pretty much like many of the 20 inch Brompton style bikes already being made in south Asia - in fact, some of those might even be lighter (Al frame possibly); more high end features or options; and if you like simplicity, I think I might have even seen one with caliper brakes, not disc brakes.
