Brompton 2018 BLACK EDITION M6L - Orange / Black

Limited BLACK edition 2018 specification - Orange and Black Brompton folding bike model M6L (M=handlebar type, 6=6 gears, L=with mudguards) with front carrier block

The 2018 BLACK edition is also available in black, raw lacquer and Turkish green

This 6 speed Brompton is just like the most popular M3L (3 speed model) but with 6 gears and a wider gear ratio makes hill climbing that bit easier.

Because the Brompton folds to such a small size means it is accepted on just about all public transport, can be stored under your desk when at work or in a small cupboard when at home.
