Jon Bentley turns commuter and joins Olympic Gold Medal-winning cyclist, Rebecca Romero for a ride as they assess the pros and cons of three of the best folding bikes around.
I have a Dahon D7 20 inch wheel , I bought it after trying a Brompton, which are 16 inch wheels. If you asked which was the most expensive based on the ride you would definintley say the Dahon, which are less than half the price of Bromptons. I also have a full size 700 wheel hybrid bike, but I actually prefer the Dahon because it is so nippy.
There is no Tern because the programme was made at least two years before Tern came to the market. Brompton was chosen because it is the best folding bike. Its old fashioned in the sense that its been arround for 30 years, but that is because Andrew Richie got the design right first time and they don't have to produce a new design every year like Dahon et al.
Just bought two new Brompton's and can not fault them! love them.Aesthetically pleasing and very functional. Check out our review at our RUclips channel Studio Reesau
The folding Tern model X202 has won an award and is not in the video, and they're comparing the Strida which is undeniably a bad bike and a Brompton and a folding MTB????
There should be a way to fit androids on the Brompton as well, at the very least here's a charger compatible with their front hub generators: www.nycewheels.com/tern-folding-bike-reecharge.html - Jack
what an idiot comparison. but, even if dahon, bike friday or tern(which wasn't around at that point) were compared in this video, brompton would still win. because its brit.
Bromptons if build in the Far East would cost less than £100. That's how much they should cost. Why build them in the most expensive city and using workers who wouldn't get out of bed for less than £5 an hour!
No, no and no, this was awful, not a scientific comparison or useful journalism. Brompton, actually old fashioned design if u take a close look at the bikes, it wins just because it's british!?? Where are Bikefriday, Dahon, Mezzo and Tern??
With 10 years experience now, we definitely stand behind Brompton %100. Such a great bike - Jack
That was a very objective video. Calling a spade a spade. First time for me to watch this show.
the handle bar on brompton look like 1970 old passion , best design dahon and tern , the bike look more passion looking younger for all age.
Every time this enters my head ♫Straight out of Brompton♫
Fingom fingom nyald a fingom! Yeah!
wonder ful Folding bicycle
DAHON

Brompton is still the best folding bicycle brand.
where is the link for the IF reach? I have seen the IF mode but cant find anything on the pacific reach!
of course it will be brompton. what about tern and dahon?
Seems like Strida has some work to do.
brompton i just bought one
I want one :(
Bromptons are pretty great too!
Being super fordable and having pretty good speed. But the price is a total dick move -.-

Brompton = iphone, the rest = android?
