Brompton G Line review: It’s better in so many ways, but I can’t work out what it’s for

I’ve reviewed a couple of Bromptons in my tenure here at Cyclingnews. The titanium enriched P Line left me scratching my head because I couldn’t fathom why you’d pay that much more for a bit of weight saving on a commuter bike, plus there were reliability issues with the transmission. The Electric P Line was more enjoyable, though the power delivery left a little to be desired.

The new G Line is an entirely different beast and a really quite drastic departure for the brand. Gone are the 16’ wheels in favour of larger, more off-road capable 20’ wheels with proper tubeless gravel tyres – Schwalbe G-One Allround no less, a very capable gravel tyre from my list of the best gravel tyres.
