Brompton 2017 new features
The BLACK edition Bromptons are the first of the 2017 models produced.New features for 2017 are*:
 |
| 2017 model lock on Brompton grips and gear changer |
- Lock on grips. It seems that the lock on Brompton grips have finally been released by Brompton. They are still foam, but fixed on with a lock on clip at the inside end.
- New gear triggers. Both the 3 speed (for the hub gear) and 2 speed (for derailleur system) have new gear triggers. They are similar to the Shimano trigger style changers.
- New brake levers? The gear triggers / shifters (whatever you would prefer to call them) integrate with the brake lever. We haven't taken them apart to see, but the existing levers don't seem to have the mounting holes.
- New gear cables. The new gear shifters use new gear cables - so you will have to select the correct one - for the Brompton 2016 BLACK edition it is the 2017 model cables!
*Again - we could have missed some
