Brompton Kevlar

Brompton Kevlar £0.00, 0g *
Our standard tyre is exceptionally free-running, durable yet light. The Kevlar belt under the tread almost eliminates punctures. Finished with reflective sidewalls as standard.

Schwalbe Marathon

Schwalbe Marathon £10.00, 144g *
The Marathons are a little heavier than the Brompton tyres and the deep uni-directional tread, which gives superior grip, also means that they are not quite as free-running. But they are solidly-built, with both a Kevlar belt and a thicker sidewall to lower the risk of pinch-punctures. Like the Brompton tyres, they also come with reflective sidewalls, eliminating the need for reflectors on the wheel spokes.

Schwalbe Kojak

Schwalbe Kojak £15.00, -232 *
Replacing the Stelvio for 2010, the Kojak is the fastest tyre we’ve ever fitted on the Brompton; lighter and more puncture-resistant (thanks to a RaceGuard strip) than its predecessor, a Kevlar bead also allows it to be folded, making it easy to pack as a spare. Finished with reflective sidewalls.
