Brompton Bags

Brompton Bags and Saddle Bags

The Brompton front luggage collection all begins with the front luggage carrier block this attaches to the front of the Bromptons main frame.

There are two holes pre made on the front of the frame ready for you to install the front carrier block if you don't already have one!

The fact that the bag is attached directly to the frame and not the handlebars means that transporting stuff with your Brompton doesn't affect the handling / steering as the bag doesn't interfere with the ride (and unlike a rucksack, you don't get a sweaty back!)

Brompton bags come in a variety of sizes / options. They are available as an option on new bikes from the Brompton factory and also available as an aftermarket option here

New 2020 bags

In 2022 Brompton introduced two new bags

In 2020 Brompton introduced two new ranges - essentially splitting the bags into three distinct ranges

Brompton Borough bag - for travel / touring / genereal use
Brompton Metro bag - for the city / recruiting
Brompton transport range - for transporting your Brompton

A bit more about the classic / original Brompton bags...

Brompton S Bag

this was the smallest of the bags - designed to be less high so as to be compatible with the S-type handlebars. It now has an exchangeable front flap - so you can customise it to match your mood / outfit!

Brompton C Bag

this was based on the Caradice bag - slightly larger than the S-bag

Brompton T Bag

this is a larger touring bag with a roll top for plenty of storage. The C-bag and the T-bag use the same size frame

All of the above bags have a removable frame with a carrying handle, a rain/showerproof cover and carrying strap

Brompton basket

this is more basic - it still attaches to the front carrier block - and is great for popping to the shops to pick up groceries. It's based on the wicker basket idea but made of fabric - with no top to it

Brompton and Ortlieb work together to produce a waterproof option for the Brompton

In 2010 Brompton introduced the O-Bag in conjunction with Ortlieb, giving them the first really waterproof option (this was updated in 2016 with cosmetic changes to the logo). The range of O-bag colours changes year on year

There is also a smaller version of the O-Bag, imaginatively named the Mini O-bag

Brompton increase the range - including saddle, roll top and tote bags
