How to Protect Your Brompton (and Why It’s Worth It)

If you’ve invested in a Brompton, you know it’s more than just a bike. It’s your daily companion - folding into trains, navigating busy streets, or cruising through weekend rides. With that kind of use, it’s natural for your bike to get a little scratched up. But what if you could avoid that?

Here’s why protecting your Brompton is worth your time—and how to do it without compromising on style.

Why Bike Protection Matters

1. Preserve the Finish
   Brompton bikes have a beautiful finish that can take a beating from repeated folding, carrying, and locking up. Small scratches add up, especially on contact points like the main frame hinge, rear triangle, or the handlebar stem.

2. Hold Value
   A well-maintained bike is always easier to resell or trade. Think of our leather bike frame covers like a phone case—they preserve the original look underneath while adding a premium touch.

3. Add Personality
   Brompton accessories should be as unique as your bike. And when you’re using a material like full-grain leather, your protectors age beautifully and become part of your story.
