Brompton Knowledge | What Is The Maximum/Minimum Rider Height

A rider height guide for Brompton Bikes.

We offer three different seat post options, for riders ranging from 140cm to 203cm (4'7"" to 6'8"").

Height compatibility for the bike is determined by the rider's inside-leg measurement.

Standard seat post: Inside-leg measurement between 66cm - 83cm (26inches 33inches).
Extended seat post: Inside-leg measurement between 66cm - 89cm (26inches 35 inches).
Telescopic seat post: Inside-leg measurement between 66cm-99cm (26 inches-39 inches).

We also offer the saddle height insert, which can be used to help riders who need a shorter seatpost length than standard.

Additionally, the saddle can be moved forward or back over a range of approximately 10cm (4inches).

There are videos on how to:

Taller riders may also want to consider the High handlebar, which at 1072mm offers the highest grip height.
