Brompton 2018 M6L folding bike - Red

Red six speed M-type Brompton

2018 specification red Brompton folding bike model M6L (M=handlebar type, 6=6 gears, L=with mudguards)

The 6 speed Brompton (in our opinion) is becoming the most popular model - taking over from the ever popular M3L (3 speed model) but with 6 gears and a wider gear ratio it makes hill climbing just that bit easier
