Brompton pre-2017 handlebar grips - Black
Black Brompton handlebar grips for M-type (mid) and H-type (high) handlebars with non-integrated brakes / triggers
These are shorter (approx 110mm in length) compared to the grips used on newer Brompton folding bikes with integrated brakes and shifters (which are approx 130mm in length)
The bars on the H-type (now known as high) and M-type (now known as mid) handlebars are exactly the same - it's the handlebar stem assembly which differentiates the H-type from the M-type
Please note: These are the newer (introduced on the 2013 model) grips - these grips are now without the curves and a darker colour, than the original grey grips used by Brompton prior to 2013
Please also note: These are not the grips for the 2017 onwards model Brompton
Quote from Brompton in 2013 "As a stop-gap before we (Brompton) can offer lock-on grips in 2014, the shape of the M Type grip will be tweaked to address complaints over the comfort afforded by the present double-concave shape. The new shape is straighter with a slight taper at the inboard end." - these lock on grips have now been delayed to production.
Note: As you will discover when trying to remove the old grips - they are stuck on with glue. Your new ones should also be held in place with a suitable adhesive. We recommend a liberal spray of GT-85, this helps slide the grips on, and when it dries out, it acts as an adhesive.

These grips seem to were discontinued in 2021 (though we are not 100% sure!) - so we made a video on alternatives - but at the moment they are back!
