Folding Bikes - Ergon grips on a Brompton?

GC2-L 130x130 Would these fit nicely on the M-type Brompton handlebars?

Yes is the short answer. The ones with the little stubby ends should too and they offer a second hand position, though these are a safer bet regards fitting, as I can only testify the stubby ones to an 'S' type stem.

Yes.

Yes as LP and Chenry have said. As shown here, my friend's bike has them on his Brompton S, and I have another friend who has them on his M bars, though I don't have a picture of it. I tried them and they felt a bit weird, but I guess one has to get used to it. The Brompton at the bike is mine by the way.

Thanks a mill guys you more than answered my question. Now deliberating the ones with or without the 'stubby ends' as LP describes them! I prefer the look of the one i posted but tis marginal. Do you know if the 'stubby end' ones offer a significant difference in posture when dropping down to lower wind resistance on occasion LP?

They're better really for a slightly more forward position for climbs and accelleration, as you get your hands a bit wider on the bars - one thing you might also consider is the brace you can buy that stiffens between the two bends of the m-type bar (like a bmx bar) and gives more strength as well as more real-estate for the fitting of lights/puters etc.

A brace would be a great idea thanks! Anyone got pics of them fitted, Could only find tiny ones on biketrax.

Brompton sells the brace now.

The GC2-L’s should look OK on ‘M type’ bars but I think the ‘stubby’ Ergons are best suited to the ‘S-type’ sports Bromptons / Merc hybrids. :thumb:
