Handlebar type matters

Which cable you need will depend upon the handlebar type and the shifter type

  • M type - the classic Brompton style - also known as Mid rise
  • S type - straight / sports style - also known as Low rise
  • H type - a slightly higher riding position - also known as High rise
  • P type - multi positional riding position - now discontinued and not to be confused with the P Line

If you are unsure - we made a guide on how to identify your Brompton handlebar type

Wheelbase matters

Up until 2004 Brompton used a short wheelbase frame - and this was only available with M type / Mid rise bars - we made a guide on identifying Brompton long vs short wheelbase models

Shifter matters

There are effectively two generations of shifters used on Brompton folding bikes

  • Pre-2017 - non-integrated gear trigger
  • Post-2017 - integrated shifter and brake
