With the rise of cycling as a hobby in Singapore, Bromptons seem to be the choice of most Singaporeans (and even ministers). However, the high price tags of the bikes may be hard for some to swallow, considering the cheapest C Line Urban starts at $2,600. Despite this, many will still be intrigued by how much the price tag of a Brompton can go up to. As such, here is a guide to how much it costs to own a Brompton in Singapore. In Singapore, three Brompton model lines are offered: the C, P, and T. Each line offers different types of setups, with the Urban variant having fewer gears while the Explore variant being slightly heavier since it has more gears. There is also a utility variant exclusive to the C Line. The C Line is the the entry-level Brompton in Singapore, there are 3 variants for this model line: the Urban, Utility and Explore. For the Explore range, there is the option of adding a roller frame rack at the back. For colours, ‘Archive’ colours are more expensive as they are limited reruns of popular colours.

There are 2 variants for this model line: the Urban and Explore. For the Explore range, there is the option of adding a roller frame rack at the back. This is the top-of-the-line model, being made of titanium and carbon. This results in a stiffer yet lighter frame which makes cycling more effortless. This also translates to a hefty price tag, starting at $7,908. There are 2 variants for this model line: the Urban and Explore. There are some additional accessories that can be purchased on the Brompton store. Brompton tail lights cost $50 – $70 depending on the model purchased, while the front light costs $130. Phone mounts cost $75 – $100, and a tire pump with mounting brackets costs $70. While it’s undoubtedly the case that Brompton products have better build quality, this waterproof rear and front set costing $19.90 from Decathlon will suffice. In addition to this, an inexpensive costing $3.90 will do the trick. Finally, while Brompton no longer lists a helmet on its website, users can also purchase a from Decathlon.
