The well-known British folding bicycle brand Brompton (Brompton), known as Xiaobu, has become the darling of social media under the keyword "cycling" in the past two years.

Recently, BROMPTON released the lightest new "T Line" model so far, replacing steel with titanium and reducing the weight of the "skeleton". More than 150 parts have been improved or redesigned, and TIG welding technology is used to make the frame light and stable. Optimize the details of the parts from the inside to the outside without letting go of any "light" possibility.
Brompton has made hybrid steel and titanium folding bikes before, but their new all-titanium framed T Line folding bike takes urban commuting to a new level, weighing as low as 7.45kg.

The T Line is Brompton's lightest folding bike to date. This matte gray folding bike contains a lot of new technology from Brompton. Brompton revealed that it was the culmination of three years of research and development work, and it even required a new manufacturing facility in Sheffield, England, to build the new car and its 150 new components.
According to Brompton, the T Line is the world's first folding bike with a steel-clad carbon seatpost. Although the carbon fiber seatpost can be easily made light and hard, in order to meet the usage scenarios where folding bikes often need to plug and unplug the seatpost, Brompton engineers coated the carbon fiber seatpost with a layer of 0.3mm thick steel to increase durability. Doing so also increases the friction of the seat tube, preventing it from sliding down.
The new T Line models include the "One" single-speed version and the "Urban" four-speed version. The weight of the whole vehicle is 7.45kg and 7.95kg respectively, and they are now available in offline stores.
