Brompton Bags

There was already a new Bar Bag launched by Brompton in mid-2026 to fit on the handlebars instead of the front carrier block - with a 4 litre capacity for carrying extra on your adventure rides

There are likely to be more new bags arriving in the autumn of 2027 with the new Brompton model year - check back to be the first to find out!

These bags were designed for Brompton by the dutch company Radical design (who still make Brompton specific trailers and bike covers)

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 even had an exchangeable front flap(secured with Velcro) - so you could customise the bag 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 was a larger touring bag with a roll top for plenty of storage. The C-bag and the T-bag used the same size frame

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

The T bag as ultimately replaced by the large roll top bag

Brompton Basket Bag

this was more basic - it still attached 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

This one has actually been maintained as a current bag and changed slightly over time (including colour options)

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 changed year-onyear

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

Both of these bags had a frame connector moulded into the back of the bag

They were ultimately discontinued in around 2018

The ones we use still look great even after all this time and if you ever go on a London Brompton club ride they still seem to be the most popular bags out there!

In 2022 Brompton introduced more new bags

• Brompton Borough rack bag for the new advance roller rack
• Brompton Borough waterproof back pack

2020 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

Brompton Borough roll top bag

This replaced the classic T / Touring bag, and has lots of pockets / storage - ideat when bikepacking on the Brompton. It was initially introduced along side the Brompton Explore special edition bike

Brompton Borough basket bag

The Brompton equivalent to a folding basket - an open top bag great for popping to she shops for milk / fuit or veg. Also available in limited edition Liberty print fabric

Brompton Metro messenger bag

This bag replaces the C bag - ideal for use to / from the office - including a large padded laptop sleeve

The Metro range of bags suffered from COVID (well not literally - but as a result of) - with less people visiting the office these became less popular than the more casual Borough bags

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
