BROMPTON X CHPT3 4TH EDITION
The Brompton x CHPT3 4th Edition folding bike. A minimalist P Line, packed with high-performance details.
We selected proven performance modifications such as titanium forks and rear triangle, assembled for speed without loss of comfort. The gearing is chosen to cover all bases, from quick sprints and sustained speed to steep climbs. All contact points between you and the bike, and the bike and the road deliver lightness, performance and comfort. We’ve even sourced light weight inner tubes, which means you can focus on avoiding the shortest route to reach your destination.
The 4th Edition
Turning a new page in the Brompton and CHPT3 story, the latest collaboration brings a fresh dynamic to a proven partnership. One founded on fun, practicality, and high performance.
Drawing on our previous three collaborations with David Millar of CHPT3, we turn to page 4, and the horizon broadens. A bike that originated as a city commuter and became a daily workhorse for David, a former pro-cyclist, is now embraced by a community who see beyond simply departing from point A and arriving at point B.
To own a Brompton x CHPT3 is to belong to a community of like-minded riders from Indonesia to Indianapolis, a community that is powered by new members like you.
Made for speed
Handbuilt titanium and steel frame. All the practicality of a Brompton in a lightweight and performance oriented form. More than 1.5kg lighter than the original bike.
A fast and light wheelset
Designed and tested to stand up to daily use in the city, in all weathers. On superb tan-walled Schwalbe One tyres for optimal grip and maximum style. With weight-saving Tubilito innertubes.
Superlight, compact gearing system
The Brompton 4-speed system* for rapid urban acceleration and nimble climbing ability. With a 60-gram derailleur, meticulously engineered to fit inside the narrow fold.

fi’zi:k Terra Argo X5 saddle
We chose this gravel-specific saddle for the superb vibration absorption, and the short nose. This gives you a stable, planted position. You can shift further forward too– the ergonomic design minimises pressure on any sensitive parts. Cleverly thought-out drainage channels make it brilliant for wet-weather riding.
Brompton x CHPT3 Frame Pouch
Your CHPT3 comes with a limited-edition Frame Pouch Bag. It’s inspired by how the community use their Brompton x CHPT3 bikes - moving fast around the city, racing, heading out on long weekend rides. It’s perfectly sized for a spare tube and tools. Just like the bike, it’s minimalist, practical and brilliantly durable. In abrasion resistant Hypalon fabric with a welded, waterproof construction.

Brompton x CHPT3: The 4th Edition, New York
CHPT3 founder David Millar discovers a mobile community within the maze of Brooklyn streets and alleyways that the Knight Ryders call their playground. A movement of like-minded friends whose bikes are more than bikes and journeys are more than journeys welcome and guide him through their paved and potholed territory. Riding through the darkness, David feels the lightness and warmth of the group’s spirit. This former professional cyclist witnesses a team not created by contracts and driven by performance but by a common humanity and the sheer joy that riding a bicycle with friends can bring. The CHPT3 Brompton is a perfect fit within this environment and demonstrates why this special bike is embraced by so many urban cyclists around the world. #BromptonChpt3
