From 2010 this is the standard tyre supplied with all new Brompton folding bikes.

The Brompton folding bicycle tyre size is 16 1 3/8 " or ETRTO size 37-349.

The Kevlar lining underneath the tread helps to greatly reduce the chance of getting a puncture.

The reflective side wall on the tyre will help improve your visibility - especially to cars approaching you from the side and as you pull out of junctions.

Our recommended inner tube for this tyre is: AV4

Tyre pressures for the Brompton kevlar tyre:
Front: 75 to 90 PSI (max 100 PSI / 6.8 bar)
Rear: 85 to 100 PSI (max 100 PSI / 6.8 bar)
